Today, I'm wearing another of my Citizen Independent 1481010 collection. The watch is part of the Citizen Eco-Drive range of solar powered watches, and has a D600 module. The watch is large, but lightweight, and has a massive solar panel above the display. When left alone, the watch goes into a low power mode, the display turns off, and in-theory it is able to last for up to 5 years in the dark from a full charge.
Mode-wise, the watch has dual time, alarm, stopwatch, and countdown timer. The mode can be seen through the 5 circles across the top of the dot matrix LCD display. The level of charge can be seen from a small "fuel gauge" style indicator on the screen.
The watch is curved at the top, so it sits snugly on the wrist (and ensures the solar panel is pointing away from your body), and is held by a leather strap with expanding metal clip.

I have one of these in Olive, its in perfect condition, but it does not hold its charge... Citizen say its too old to repair - any advice - I am based in the UK.
