Currently on a med cruise, decided to treat myself to a new watch, dont have th funds to go crazy like the 10k Breitling the guy showed me, so decided on a citizen, had a choice of the below.



Was in 2 minds on this one.



Liked the Titanium, but too light and felt small on my wrist.


This was my favourite so far



This was my second choice.



Loved the face on this one, hated the strap.



Ended up with this one, loved the style and the colour scheme, and everywhere I looked online was out of stock.

I have one of these. Silly over complicated watch, but fun nonetheless. Often wear it as my daily driver.

I have an Eco-Drive diver . . . fit and finish, and reliability, superb at the price.

I used to have the Red coloured Red Arrows (your 2nd photo), loved that watch but ended up selling it.

I have however recently had my eye on this..

I have the Blue Angel watch and another Atomic eco-drive. Easily the most accurate watches I own, they are always correct and I believe Citizen quote a margin of error of 1 second in 100,000 years. I use them to set the time on my Breitling, Omega, Junghans etc.. Good looking too and very affordable.

My other half bought me an Eco Drive (Red Arrows World Timer) as I was travelling a lot with work. I stuck it on a cheap sail cloth strap and put it in rotation from time to time. It's probably the least hassle watch I own. Always bang on accurate, never needs a battery and never needs winding or setting!

Congrats. OPer. Do love the eco-drive range. It's amazing that they are solar powered and you don't see anything that obviously looks like a solar panel.

My cousin bought the Blue Angel while on our Cruise in the South Pacific last year. He paid £626 from memory, he has since sold it as he could not set it up.
