Try to find a better style quartz watch than this
So I bought the AT8020-03L recently. Fantastic watch. Nice style. Plus sapphire crystal. I probably would have bought the Tissot if the glass wasn’t sapphire.
I was in Times Square and already went to Swatch and Tissot and I was planning to visit Seiko in Madison Ave. But they were already closed so I decided to look at Citizen too. Nice staff, pleasant and efficient.
The Citizen Eco-Drive World Chronograph Radio-Controlled Blue Angels immediately caught my attention because of the style. It didn’t hurt that they have an ongoing discount promotion. But the watch was stunning regardless.
I always liked automatics. It would take me a lot of effort to buy a quartz because I don’t like the idea of getting the batteries changed, but this is different. Light-powered, any light. Quartz precision, sapphire crystal, world clock - choose your time zone, daylight saving function, perpetual day and date - even leap years!, radio signal atomic clock synchronization, chronometer, slide rule and analog computer conversion like Breitling, 24 hr clock indicator, water proof to 20bars pressure, nice style... what’s not to like? 42mm bezel like a Speedmaster. I’m sure I missed something.
I'm very happy with it. My friend was shocked I bought a quartz but after showing him the features, he ended up buying the same model! Useful when traveling to other countries; just set the new time zone and the watch readjusts!
Only the GPS versions have a leg up but I still gravitated to the AT8020 style. It’s a fun watch. I actually enjoy using the radial logarithmic and conversion calculator.
Anyway I’m geeking out. Way better than Breitling, function-wise. It’s a wear and forget watch. It won’t let you down. Better than an automatic: 6 month life on one full charge.
Ok let me stop. Check the pics online yourselves. Im not a photographer:)
