Citizen Watches | Home » » Citizen #BJ2000-09E Men's Eco-Drive 200 Meter Professional Diver Aqualand Watch | | | | | | | Product Promotions: | | | | | Description: | | The Citizen Eco-Drive Aqualand stainless steel men's chronograph watch will make a powerful statement when worn with both business and casual dress, but it's made to take the punishment of deep-water diving with its 200 meter (660 foot) water resistance. It also features a depth sensor that provides an accurate reading to 125 feet and will also record your maximum depth into memory.
This watch has a large, round silver stainless steel watch case--which measures 50mm (1.96 inches) wide and 16mm (0.63 inches) deep--that's topped by a unidirectional rotating bezel with black engraved elapsed time markings. The black dial background features three subdials (for the 50-minute chronograph, 24-hour display, and seconds), large luminous dial markers, luminous white-tipped hands (with red seconds hand). It's completed by a comfortable, durable rubber strap. Other features include a date display at 3 o'clock, scratch resistant mineral crystal with anti-reflective coating, and screw-back case, screw-down crown.
This watch is powered by Citizen's unique Eco-Drive, which absorbs sunlight and any artificial light through the crystal and dial to recharge the watch continuously. With regular exposure to light, the Eco-Drive continuously recharges itself for a lifetime of use. This watch's Eco-Drive provides a 60-day power reserve, and it can be recharged with just 2 hours of exposure to light. | | | Features: | |

 Not a watch for the throw-away cultureJul 21, 2009
By bfcomedywriter
If you buy this watch- get used to the idea of having it for a loooooong time. I purchased this watch in the mid-'90s while living in Hawaii. It was my second dive watch (the previous watch was also a Citizen but no longer made). That particular watch was beyond repair and I ended up buying this one. FOURTEEN YEARS later, the watch is STILL with me. I was in the Navy and have dived and surfed all over the world- this watch was with me all of the way. I've never had one issue with it- ever.
This story gets better: After 14 years of abuse, the paint had rubbed off, I knocked the glow-in-the-dark thing out of the bezel, and the band (the third band I've needed for this watch) was rubber-rotting. I sent the watch into to have the bezel and band replaced by Citizen. I received an email from Citizen stating they did not replace or repaint bezels, but they will give me an entire new housing for the price of replacing the bezel. For $116- Citizen gave me a nearly new watch- strap, crystal, metal housing, etc. The only original part of the watch is the inner workings- which I've never had an issue with.
Hopefully, I'll get another 14 years out of the watch and I'll give it to one of my kids.

Excellent valueJun 11, 2009
By MG
I've joyfully owned this watch for 9+ years now and still love it. After innumerable diving & snorkeling excursions, swimming pools and showers, it has never missed a beat. Have enjoyed the depth meter. It's been windsurfing, hang gliding, sailing, motorcycling and in sinks of dirty dishes and still looks modern, professional, rugged and up-to-date. It's equally appropriate in the boardroom and beach. It keeps accurate time, is easy to use and is most certainly durable! I've changed bands a couple of times (the stock rubber band lasts a few years of hard use). Bands are easy to find. The orange parts are a bit faded after many hundreds of hours in direct Caribbean sun. Crystal will scratch some eventually with abuse, but it's surprisingly durable. The SS case is also not prone to scratches. I've gotten several more expensive watches in the interim (including Rolex) but have always quickly gone back to wearing this one full-time. If I lost it, I'd get the same model!

Best watch every thown away by a cat!Jan 24, 2011
By J Gabriel
I owned this watch for about 9 years. I swam with it, and dived with it extensively in fresh and salt water. It had been to depths of 125ft. (about 39 meters) where it worked flawlessly. I was always amazed at how close the depth gauge on this watch mirrored the reading on my actual diving gauge. (accurate in salt - not as accurate in fresh water.) It was worn while playing tennis, football, soccer, volleyball, in the sand, in the mud and so on so - I can attest to it's TOUGHNESS. The look is great and over the years it garnered many compliments. It also told time, believe it or not, and very accurately. My habit was to set it only on New Year's eve as "the ball dropped" and it was never off by more than a few seconds. My "2 year battery" lasted about 8 years. (Not sure why but not complaining.)
Other observations:
Yes the band wears out - it's rubber - but that takes a long time.
Yes - if you don't tighten the crown, then submerge it, you WILL ruin it. No surpise there. And you must thread it carefully. No big deal.
Yes - The orange depth hand looks like a second hand - until you are diving with it, then it makes a VERY handy back-up depth gauge and is critically easy to read.
This WAS hands down (no pun intended) the best all-around watch for an active guy that I have even owned. My only problem with it was that one night, my playful cat pushed it off the nightstand and into the waste basket, after which it made its way to some landfill. Tragic really ... I'll miss that cat!

Tough and accurate watchApr 27, 2009
By J. Paz
"shooter"
I bought this watch in 2003, and have worn it since. I've replaced the rubber band three times, once with the stainless steel band. The stainless broke within days when I tripped and fell against a concrete and brick surface. The band and watch took the worst of it, the case was practically unscratched, the band broke a couple of links and was replaced with rubber again. The skin oils rot the rubber, the band is cheap to replace though. It wears well, the years and repeated dives and daily water immersion have not affected it. The orange of the depth gage is fading, the green glow is still noticeable in the hour dots in the dark. It keeps time well, I might correct it with my cellphone once every year or two. I recommend it and will buy another if this one dies, which I don't foresee.

Best Watch I have ever owned!!!Dec 07, 2010
By CaptainNick1
I have had this watch for 15 years now. Never been sent in, NEVER had any issues. This is weird for me due to the fact that I am a very active person and my watches take a beating day in and day out. If you want a fantastic watch that looks good, wears well, and will never fail you... then this is the watch for you. I have a citizen promaster that last me 2 months, seiko monster dive watch that last me 5 months, tag heuer 3000 quartz (25 years old in for refurb), and a Rolex Yachmaster II. Guess which watch is on my wrist.
