Great Value, Great Tool Watch
I have been shopping for a new titanium watch for some time. I looked at a number of automatic watches (Omega, Oris skeleton, Certina, GS). It needed to be at least 41mm as I have large wrists. I studied the designs long and hard and decided that the prices and mark ups were just too much to justify how I would use the watch. I know that automatics are "cooler" but having to reset the time or keep it in a winder just seemed to be too much maintenance for essentially a tool. After deciding to go quartz, I did a lot of research on this as well and ended up with this Citizen. I bought it directly from Citizen for a couple of reasons (even though it was $100 cheaper at the largest discounters). I wanted to make sure that there was zero chance of counterfeiting and I wanted it fit to my 8 3/4" wrist from the factory without playing around with extra links. It's been a month and I am extremely pleased with the watch. It is a great, well fitting, lightweight tool, which I decided I needed more than a "look what I can afford" statement.
