Citizen Sports Gent Day-Date Eco-Drive

gents watch | BM8470-11EE

Product description

Just as the world's best fashion designers rely on the perfect blend of fabric and cut, the Citizen Sports Gent relies on a mixture of elegant lines in a classic design and matching materials. Classic and modern come together in this watch. Today's technology paired with classic design. Classic case design, high-quality textile strap and textured dial. This model demonstrates its customised character with uncompromising attention to detail. They outlast every fashion whim and withstand the passage of time. The special highlight of this Citizen is the Day-Date display, which is shown at the 3 o'clock position. With this function, you will never again wonder what day it is. With a water resistance of 10 bar, you'll be on the safe side if you're not afraid of water. In 1976, Citizen invented the world's first light-powered analogue quartz watch that used light as its energy source. This technology, now known as "Eco-Drive", generates energy from any type of light source - even dim light - and keeps the watches running without ever having to change the battery. The Eco-Drive movement has an incredible dark power reserve of two years on a full charge!

About the Brand

Ever since CITIZEN was founded in 1930, the company has cultivated a multicultural mindset that has consistently produced excellence and creativity. The long history of watchmaking includes product innovations such as radio and satellite-synchronised timekeeping. Another revolutionary breakthrough was the development of the light-driven Eco-Drive technology. Eco-Drive is Citizen's patent-protected technology that uses any natural or artificial light source to power the watches. The solar cell integrated in the watch captures light and converts it into energy. Additional electrical energy is stored in a rechargeable battery.

We are an official retailer of the Citizen brand, which has decisive advantages for you as a customer in terms of security, warranty and after-sales service when purchasing online.

Great purchase

I love this watch. Comfortable to wear. Accurate and easy to read. Its size is perfect. Although dial is listed as black, it's also green, depending on the light. That explains why it comes with a green strap. I definitely recommend this watch and it's a bargain.

Very good watch (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
Verified Purchase
Looking for a watch for leisure time that is as light as possible, easy to read, not too big and water-resistant for swimming, I chose the Citizen Sports Gent Eco-Drive. And I have not regretted the decision! I have already had very good experiences with Citizen watches because I have been using the Aqualand Diver for over 10 years in very rough environments and the watch still works and looks good today. However, I have to change the battery once a year. No problem, unless you forget it and it fails in the middle of your vacation. That's why I chose the solar-powered (Eco-Drive) watch this time. I cannot report on how the solar power works after years because the watch is new. But I can say that the watch looks very good, as is often the case with watches, better on the wrist than in the picture. The watch is very comfortable to wear, runs very precisely as expected and is easy to read. Looks modern and not overloaded. Luma is very good and the color is nice. The hands hit the indices well. Overall the watch seems to be of high quality and I think you get a lot for the price.

super timepiece (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)

The watch is high quality and the drive concept is absolutely brilliant. I have wanted a watch without batteries for a long time, so that I can be independent and also to counteract the mountain of battery waste. The super legibility of the numbers, during the day and especially in the dark, is really remarkable!!! The strap not only looks great, but also has a rock-solid build quality. All in all, an absolutely harmonious, solid spatial concept with a striking but neither conservative nor ostentatious design. And all of this at an absolutely brilliant price. The customer friendliness and the fast and uncomplicated delivery round off the whole thing. I will probably buy another color version of this watch!

Price/performance is right! (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
Verified Purchase
I'm really taken with this understated, sporty and inexpensive watch. Thanks to the fabric/nylon strap (dark olive, very charming), it fits quickly and comfortably on the wrist. It's absolutely inexpensive and visually simple. It also looks pretty robust. I therefore have no doubts about whether I should use it at work (I'm a craftsman). Citizen always makes top watches that pack a punch, no matter what the price range. I'm a fan of the Eco-Drive and this was certainly not the last Citizen watch I'll get from Christian, it definitely makes me want more! Good service, friendly customer service and fast delivery. That's how you want to be treated as a customer. Keep it up! Review by Perica (Posted on 30.11.2015) for Citizen Sports Gent Day-Date Eco-Drive, BM8470-11EE 0 | Report abuse

I bought the watch as a cheap alternative to my mechanical watch. Since I work in construction, vibrations and shocks are a daily occurrence. I want to spare my mechanical watch that, hence the purchase. I really like the look of it (simple but colorful). It is very comfortable to wear, is not heavy and works perfectly. The date can easily be set to German or English. I like the whole package best, especially with the eco drive, my other watch stops working after 2 days (without being worn) and this one just keeps running. My girlfriend likes the fact that the watch doesn't tick, you really can't hear it. Review by Sebastian (Posted on 21.03.2021) for Citizen Sports Gent Day-Date Eco-Drive, BM8476-07EE 0 | Report abuse
Beautiful watch with best price/performance ratio (Translated automatically with Google™ View original text)
Verified Purchase
In my opinion, Citizen Day-Date Eco-Drive watches are the brand watches with the absolute best price/performance ratio. I have now bought the 3rd one. Unfortunately, I lost the 1st one. No. 2 is still in perfect working order, but has a slightly different design. The watches are very robust, reliable, beautifully and simply designed, with precise time display, extremely waterproof and with the "invisible" solar display, completely maintenance-free for many years and with no battery follow-up costs. This fulfills all my wishes for a good "normal" wristwatch at an absolutely reasonable price!

When the watch arrived after just three days and I had it in front of me, it was Easter and Christmas at the same time! Even as a woman, it is exactly what I like. It is so beautiful, practical, robust and ecological. And now I can use the watch to do my favorite thing in the summer, swimming, without any worries! My poor partner had to listen to my cries of enthusiasm about 100 times. One tiny complaint: the date display is not that easy to read, the information in the window (in German) is somehow slightly slanted.

After my previous watch fell off my wrist while I was riding my motorbike on a bumpy track in Cambodia, I needed a new one! My requirements: stainless steel, no automatic, luminous Arabic numerals and at least one date. This watch combines all of my requirements and even exceeds them with a day display, a comfortable, cool strap and the unique, ecological drive. The simple, functional design of the dial and the unbeatable price immediately impressed me.

FAQ

Questions about warranty

How long is my warranty?

You will find details of the item's warranty on the relevant product page under additional information. We provide the official international manufacturer's warranty for branded watches and branded jewellery. This is at least 24 months. Individual brands or products sometimes have a significantly longer warranty. CHRISTIAN brand jewellery is guaranteed for 24 months.

What does the warranty cover?

A watch's warranty generally covers manufacturing and material defects, including the movement, hands, dial, crown and sometimes the case. However, it does not cover damage resulting from incorrect use, lack of care (see our maintenance tips), accidents or normal wear and tear (e.g. straps, batteries, etc.).

Questions about the products

Are your watches original?

Yes, all the products we sell are original and 100% new. They are purchased directly from the respective manufacturer.

Is the watch water-resistant?

Information on water resistance is indicated for each watch in the product information. Here you can find the detailed meaning of the various specifications and the water activities you can do with your watch: www.uhrenschmuck24.ch/wasserdichtigkeit

What is the difference between 9-carat, 14-carat and 18-carat gold?

18 carat gold contains 75% pure gold. It has a rich, warm yellow hue that radiates elegance.
14 carat gold contains 58.5% pure gold. Its yellow tone is slightly lighter and more subtle compared to 18 carat gold. For white gold, 14 carat is brighter and more reflective, while 18 carat has a softer and more understated lustre. In rose gold, 14 carat displays a more intense pink colour, whereas 18 carat offers a gentler and more delicate red tone.
9 carat gold contains 37.5% pure gold. Its colour is paler and more neutral than 14 or 18 carat gold, giving it a discreet and elegant appearance. In white gold, 9 carat offers a bright tone, although it is less brilliant than 14 carat. In rose gold, 9 carat has a softer and more muted shade, making it perfect for those who prefer subtle jewellery. Due to its lower gold content, 9 carat gold is more affordable and also more resistant to daily wear, thanks to its reinforced composition.

Does the jewellery come with a certificate of authenticity?

All CHRISTIAN diamond jewellery is sent with a certificate of authenticity indicating that our diamonds are either natural and extracted from conflict-free mines or that they have been grown in a laboratory.
CHRISTIAN gold jewellery and silver jewellery do not come with a certificate. The responsibility label (CGZ stamp) on the piece of jewellery is sufficient to indicate that it was produced by CHRISTIAN AG. The gold quality is indicated by the symbol 750, 585 or 375. The silver quality is indicated by the symbol 925.

Are your diamonds and gemstones natural?

On our online store, we offer two types of diamonds, each carefully selected with the utmost attention.

The Diamond Jewellery by CHRISTIAN collection consists exclusively of natural diamonds and gemstones. Each one is sourced from conflict-free origins and meets the highest international ethical and environmental standards. It’s the perfect choice for those who value the authenticity and rarity of nature.

The Lab Grow Diamond by CHRISTIAN collection features lab-grown diamonds. These are real diamonds, identical to natural ones in terms of chemical, physical, and optical properties. They shine just as brightly, are just as durable, and are made of the same material: crystallized carbon.
The only difference between a natural diamond and a lab-grown one is their origin. Growing diamonds in a lab helps reduce environmental impact and avoids issues related to mining practices. It’s a responsible, sustainable, and more affordable alternative, with no compromise on beauty or quality.
