I wouldn’t leave it in a box or complete darkness... leave it on a dresser or somewhere where it can get some natural or artificial light. That way, it will never die and you probably won’t run into capacitor issues.

Eco Drive is powered by any source of light; real or artificial. Solar watches only charge in near direct sunlight. Whereas eco-drive citizen watches charge by every source of light.

Eco-Drive pro diver is my daily wear watch...

For what they are, Citizen makes some cool watches. The eco drive really adds some pizazz to the standard quartz movement and is definitely nice to not have to ever worry about changing the battery. Just don't leave it in a dark drawer for months when not wearing it. I have heard of a few peoples watches having a hard time coming back on after they've done that.

Collection implies I can afford more than four of these. Frankly I can only afford one or two. To be fair, the most expensive watch in their entire lineup is about $3400, so that’s cheap compared to other flagships. My local jeweler sells quite a few of them, including the three main series, Eco drive, Atomic timekeeping, and Super Titanium.

Citizen is a BIG brand.

In real life it's obvious James Bond would wear a quartz watch. I mean, if his expensive, prestigious mechanical watch is lagging even by a few seconds? He's not gonna make it out of the villain's secret base before it all blows up. Plus, all those stunts he does? No mechanical watch would survive all that trauma, but only a quartz. In fact, if you consult the novels, Bond does in fact wreck several expensive watches. Personally I have the Citizen Blue Angels, and I always tell myself it's the watch James Bond would have worn if he had been a tax inspector.

from an investment standpoint , you are wrong there , a rolex or any other luxury brand would be a superior choice since most of these retain their value or the appreciate with time , the citizen / everyday brand of watches dont , so I would say , if you do have the ability to drop your paycheck on a watch m do it on a rolex and not a collection of eco drives

From an investment standpoint absolutely! But only Rolex can really say that value will be held 100% (excluding the true high end such as Petek etc...). If you consider even a brand such as Omega, your initial investment may lose $2,000 the second you leave the store, which is more than any full-priced eco-drive. With that being said, I own a new 3235 Datejust, and several Citizens. They all serve a purpose. The point that was being made in this video was less to do with "investment value" and rather more in "features / functionality per dollar"

The important is to see the watches.. Not both of you
