That is how leather bands usually are. They need some break in time.
Why? Do you have one or just your opinion from the picture?
I'm interested in the watch and would like to know if the strap is junk.
This has a quartz movement so keeps accurate time. By comparison, automatic watches like the Seiko 5 can vary up to 10-15 seconds per day. The Eco-Drive is powered by light and when fully charged can run up to six months in darkness. The capacitor battery inside lasts up to 10+ years.

I bought the watch and returned it. The band is too stiff. I loved the face and in retrospect should have gotten a different strap.

Maybe because it's actually leather, compared to the Walmart watches you've been wearing?

Replace the strap at all? I am a sweaty dude and the leather band soaked it all up

Strap is terrible.
Leather straps on watches in this price range are almost always bad. I usually wind up upgrading to them to a nicer strap, or putting them on a NATO.

Easy to do, cheaper than buying a higher end watch, and allows you to customize it a little.

The well-reviewed 8180 is also available at the lower end of its price range if you're into small (37mm) field watches with solar: https://www.amazon.com/Citizen-Ec...B000EQS1JW

I am wearing the older version of this watch. Have really enjoyed it and paid about the same amount 2 or 3 years ago. Recently after not wearing it for a while the second hand on the chrono no longer aligns with the 12 o'clock position. It's at 59 min. Not a big deal, but annoying.

Quote from stegall :
My Eco-Drive is a little more than 10 years old. I inadvertently let the battery get to low charge and second hand would only move every 2 seconds. Via Citizen's web site, I contacted them and in the process on explaining that I should put the watch in sunlight for a few hours to recharge the battery, they also informed me that the battery might never need replacement (sounds hard to believe). Regardless, I have elsewhere seen that 20-years of service is not a rarity. All in all, I don't know where the truth lies, but I do know mine keeps excellent time & there is no expense/trouble in having a battery change every 1-2 years or so. Eco-Drive is a no-brainer.
I have a Citizen Eco-drive from 2004. Still works, and keeps accurate time!

Seiko 5 can be up to 45 seconds a day over …. And usually they are.

It's apples and oranges to compare quartz vs automatic…. Unless it's automatic vs another automatic (or Swiss automatic)

What is the time drift per year? I've been thinking about solar powered atomic watches, but the atomic part may be unnecessary if the quartz movement doesn't drift much per year

You can adjust the second hand so it returns to 0. See the manual or various tutorials on Youtube. Here is one example:

Other than when it ran down due to failure of proper light to charge the battery, I don't ever recall having to reset the time.
