When it comes to thin watches, none can compare to the Citizen Eco-Drive One, which is purported by the brand to be the thinnest of its kind on earth. Featuring the brand's flagship technology, the Citizen Eco-Drive One is designed to be run on light rather than a battery or winding system.
The market for wearable technology is seeing a new product released nearly everyday, but despite this level of market saturation the adoption rates aren't as high as one might expect. As consumers seek out products that blend the best of yesterday with the technology of today, we could see the market for more traditional products increase.
The Citizen Eco-Drive One was unveiled at BASELWORLD 2016 in Switzerland with it being announced that a mere 800 units will be made available worldwide.
