Want to make a statement? How about one that says “I’m prepared for anything.” This solar watch from Citizen toes the line between function and fashion—making it a meritable option for a trip on the boat or a night on the town Read More
Busy, busy, busy--even more so with white/silver face. I do like the way the bezel operates, but that's not a feature I'd really use. In the end it comes down to cosmetic differences between black and white dial. I chose black.
Looks like there’s probably at least 4-5mm of extra bezel alone. Get rid of that and leave the slide rule the same size. This watch will look like a monster on 99.9% of wrists.
I bought this watch in Argos UK.
And I love it.
The slide rule is cool factor. at the end of the day my phone doubles as a scientific calculator!
It's a good size for my hands. And looks fantastic. And because it's a perpetual calender, I never have to change the date.

Slide rule? Cool but archaic. My pop, an electrical engineer at a GE defense plant in Westover, NY, back in the late fifties/sixties/sevevties cold war, had a slide rule constructed with an aluminum alloy to retain accuracy. He was a quite frugal, highly intelligent man but shelled out a tidy sum for the instrument. He took good care of us five kids, so he didn't scrimp. I remember many evenings dad sitting at the kitchen table working that slide rule.
I used to love Eco-drive watches, but not anymore. The last two watches that I bought would not hold their charge no matter what. I would leave one of them in the sunlight for days, then a week or two later it would be dead. The other one has the atomic clock feature, which no longer seems to work and it can only hold its charge for about 3 weeks to a month. My earlier purchases still work well, but my personal experience was that quality dropped in the last 4 years.
I've had this exact watch for 3 years now and wear it daily. It is spot on with the time, has great build quality, and looks gorgeous! It's definitely a compliment magnet!
