シチズン メンズ エコドライブ クラシック ペイトン 腕時計 3針 日付 サファイアクリスタル 夜光マーカー, シルバー/グリーンの文字盤。, 9 inches, クラシック

I used to be a watch snob all hung up on Swiss automatics and higher end high beat Japanese automatics. However, after my 2002 Omega Seamaster automatic stopped running for the fourth time and Omega wanted $750 to service it, I decided automatics are cool and all with their smooth sweep hand but just far too expensive to keep running. Those ETA 2824 and Sellita SW200 clones run well for about 5 years but then they start to slow down as the oil inside dries up and congeals, and then you have to pay someone to disassemble it, put the parts in an ultrasonic machine, and then reassemble, oil, and adjust it. Too much effort. Too much money. I decided to get a low maintenance simple watch. I have a few requirements for a watch. (1) It has to have a sapphire crystal. Mineral crystals just scratch too easily. (2) It has to have at least 100 meters of water resistance (preferably 150 meters like the aqua terra). (3) It has to be 40mm at a minimum as I have a 7.25 inch wrist and I'm an older man with failing eyesight. Unfortunately the fashionable trend at the moment is for smaller watch faces like 38mm, not a fan of that. (4) It has to have a clean, legible dial. I cannot tolerate a busy watch dial. Are you really going to time your track meets with your Omega Speedmaster? Just want to look down and see the time. (5) No date function. I can't see it anyway so it just clutters the dial. Don't want it. This watch met 4 of my 5 requirements. Unfortunately it has a tiny date window that I'm pretty sure no one on planet Earth can read, but I can overlook that I guess. It has a sapphire crystal, is 100 meters water resistant, has a clean and legible dial in a very attractive green color, and it has a fairly large watch face, although I wish it were a few millimeters larger. I despise bracelets so the first thing I did was remove that and put it on a 22mm 3 ring zulu strap I had laying around. Much more comfortable and it looks pretty good. It reminds me of those simple watches from the 60's. There are only two downsides to the watch. (1) There is no anti-reflective coating (AR coating) to the sapphire crystal and this thing reflects light like crazy making it hard to read at times. It's probably expensive to apply AR coating so whatever but I may have to put some polarizing film over it. Could come in handy if you get lost in the woods and need to signal a rescue chopper. (2) The lume is terrible. I mean it's weak. If you were out in the bright sun for a few hours and fell into a sinkhole, this thing would be legible for maybe 10 minutes. I was surprised by this. Seiko has terrific lume and Citizen does on their dive watches too. Omega has great lume as well. This lume is equivalent to what my 2014 Christopher Ward dive watch had on it. But overall I'm happy with it. Keeps great time and I don't have to worry about it stopping due to my sedentary work from home lifestyle.

I ordered this watch and was a bit hesitant due to the price being as low as it was. The box was a bit scratched but not a big deal the watch however was immaculate and brand new as advertised definitely worth what I paid for it.

Can't get over how nice this is for the price. Also shipped very fast.

Watch looks and feels great on the wrist. Vibrant green color on SS case and bracelet really jumps. Eco Drive so battery life is no concern. Analog face makes it easy to see the time. Size is great on a smaller wrist. I recommend it if you're looking for a green dial and a Stainless case and bracelet. One of the nicest I found after looking for a long time.

Very beautiful watch at an affordable price for what it offers. Elegant design, bracelet and it has sapphire crystal. Very pleased with my second Citizen Eco Drive watch ⌚
