New Citizen

[admin]

I got this new Eco-Drive today:

I have one cheap Citizen, but this is my first Eco-Drive. There are many Eco-Drives that I like, but they are all $500 and more. This is the nicest watch I’ve ever had. It is only a $200 watch, but I’m on my way up to an Omega or a Breitling one day.

I’m not used to a watch this big and heavy. I tried on a Transocean, and I was surprised at how well it fit me. I thought it would be way too large for my wrist. It wasn’t too big at all.

This watch seems too big, and I can feel the weight when I move around, but I want to see how well I can get used to this. A lot of the nicer Swiss watches are quite large. I think the Transocean is 44mm. This one is 40mm.

What I like about this watch is that I have military time right on the face. I just have to get used to reading it in half a second.

I’m used to much smaller Casio watches. That’s all I’ve worn since I was 15 or so. I think wearing this watch for a few years will help me be more open-minded when choosing a Swiss watch when the time comes.

The only Swiss watch I know of that is the size of a Casio is an Omega Constellation. I’ve seen a few on eBay that were made in 1966, the year I was born. I’m pretty sure that model is 34mm. Owning one of those would be meaningful to me, being my birth year.

If I decide that I don’t like this size, I think this is a cheap way of learning that.
