Looking at one of these as my day-to-day watch - http://www.watchshop.com/mens-citizen-titanium-chr...

Anybody here got one, was wondering how good they are?

I've had a ti Eco-Drive for at least 6 years, it's currently sat at home while I'm wearing a blacked-out Eco-Drive as my daily. I move the hour forward or back in March & October and the date when it needs it otherwise it just does what it should.

Can't comment on your particular watch, but Mrs FarQue has two eco-drives. They're never any problem and keep very good time. Recommended.

I have a problem with mine in that I let the battery go flat. It now won't fully charge and always shows 3/4 charged or less. The battery also drains very quickly. Kept in a box the battery will go flat in a couple of weeks.

Sounds like the battery/capacitor needs replacing it should be easy to replace the quartz module.

I've got 4 eco drives and am very happy with them, excellent watches for the money. The one you are looking at is £189 at Creation http://www.creationwatches.com/products/citizen-ti... and this one is (IMHO) nicer and only £149 http://www.creationwatches.com/products/citizen-ti...

Creation are recommended a lot on here, ordered my latest watch from them last Wednesday and a nice man from Fed Ex handed it to me yesterday, no taxes, import duty etc.

The one mentioned above @ £149 is the model I have, except mine was UK sourced and doesn't have the small symbol at 8 o'clock.
