For everyday wear, I often choose this Citizen Weekender Eco-Drive Men's sport watch (Model AW1585-55L). It has a sophisticated look and is supremely easy to read. The perforations around the bezel subtly evoke thoughts of motorsports. The watch is marketed in a sports watch line called Citizen AR for "Action Required."
Watch Dimensions: This watch comes in at a sensibly pleasing size with a 45mm diameter case that is 12mm thick. The lugs measure 22mm. The band measures 222 mm.
Construction: The watch is constructed of black ion-plated stainless steel with a mineral crystal. It is rated for 100 meters of water resistance. It's certainly rugged enough for day-to-day adventures. The bezel does not rotate so it isn't useful for timing scuba dives or pizzas in the oven.
Technical Features: The watch has a small date window, but no other complications. That's probably good since my eyes are hard-pressed to pick up the nuances of complications sometimes. Eco-Drive is the watches main technical selling point. The watch continuously charges and, once fully charged, this watch will keep time for months in the darkness of a sock drawer.
Overall, this Citizen Weekender watch is a satisfying watch for daily wear. I enjoy it as a no nonsense practical timepiece with great looks.
[Update: It looks like this watch has disappeared off of Amazon as of 2025, but you can still find similar or even better looking Citizen Eco-Drive weekender watches on Amazon here.]
