Good dive watch at decent price
I bought this watch for a combination of style (an individual thing) and function. Personally, I think this watch looks better "in the metal" than it does in photos - it can easily be worn in "formal" situations, despite having utility as a dive watch. I've always liked Citizen eco-drive watches as they simply keep going as long as they get exposure to light. I bought this particular watch for activities where I'm likely to get wet (and already have while wearing it cycling, where the watch and I both got soaked in an unexpected heavy shower, without any problem) and for clarity of its display in low light conditions. I have found the legibility outstanding, both in daylight and (wet) night conditions. It needs to be set manually (and date corrected after each month with less than 31 days) but that's a fair trade-off for a watch that keeps accurate time but costs a fraction of watches that can calibrate using radio or GPS time signals. It is necessary to take care when screwing down the winder to ensure a good seal - simply something to be aware of to use it properly, not a fault in its design. I will take it with me on planned snorkeling and diving trips in near future.
