Watch lovers have been reveling in all of the great deals Amazon has been firing up on high-quality but very affordable watches lately. The retail giant has been bringing lots of discounted timepieces to the site from brands like Bulova, G-Shock, Seiko, and others, but there’s no brand with better deals right now than Citizen. While Amazon’s deals on Citizen watches run the gamut, the best one right now is on a classic chronograph that makes for an excellent daily driver, and it’s now under $200.

Citizen’s Garrison Eco-Drive Chronograph Watch is on sale for just $179, which is 52% off of the regular price of $375. This light-powered chronograph has earned over 500 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers who say that the watch is “comfortable to wear,” “keeps perfect time,” and never needs a battery. Amazon also has a slightly more upscale Citizen on sale for under $250 if this one isn’t quite what you’re looking for.

This beauty from Citizen will be a great addition to your everyday carry loadout because of two main factors: It’s really handsome and it never needs a battery thanks to its Eco-Drive light-powered tech. But those features are just the icing on the cake—the watch also has a stainless steel 43mm case, three-hand analog display, three subdials, a date display, and is water resistant to 100 meters. The navy-and-black dial nicely contrasts the brown leather military-inspired strap. The Eco-Drive technology will charge the permanent lithium-ion battery using any light source, and it will even store surplus energy in the power cell so it can run for months, even in the dark.

Happy shoppers have been stunned by this watch’s good looks upon opening the box. “Day one of wearing it and I have had people compliment the watch already,” a shopper said. Another shopper noted the watch strikes a nice balance of “manly yet elegant,” a testament to its versatility.

Other satisfied customers marveled at the watch’s construction for the price. One shopper called it “a well-designed, accurate watch with a chronograph function at a reasonable price.” Another shopper summed it up by saying: “The watch looks big but is the perfect size—it is surprisingly light and not bulky.”

You can never have too many watches, and this chronograph is the perfect, inexpensive, and premium-quality watch to add to the collection. It’s lightweight, great-looking, and has the legendary Eco-Drive system that will keep it ticking for a long time without the need to change the battery—plus it’s almost $200 off, so pick it up soon before the massive discount disappears.
