I just received my mine today. I was able to register it through citizen web site with a 5-year warranty. You need to find the Serial number on the back of the watch. I’m very happy with purchase.
OBTW, I’ve been wearing an older atomic radio Citizen World Time watch for almost 3 years. I paid almost $490 at Macy’s at that time. I’m very happy with it too.
I just ordered a Black Horween Shell Cordovan standard leather strap, from Jack Foster, to replace the stainless steel came with my new watch.
Hope you enjoy yours too :)
Here is my 1st citizen atomic World watch on the right with a #8 shell cordovan fro Jack Foster. I love both of them & rotate them during the week when I’m not on travel.
Except for the lack of a warranty, this is an awesome watch. Note the big size, though. Lug-to-lug is about 49mm, a hair bigger than a moonwatch.
I have the metal/silver-colored bezel variant of this (uses the same F150 movement). Comments:
In addition to having GPS sync, this is a higher-accuracy quartz watch, accurate to +/-5 sec/month (most quartz watches are +/-15 sec/month). This is important because this watch only GPS syncs every 6 days, and then only in bright light (but it's typically a fast, time-only sync that takes 3 seconds). Atomic watches try to sync every day. A full sync can take a few minutes.
Note that, being a GPS watch, this watch can automatically adjust the time, but not the daylight savings time settings/switchovers (this information is not contained in the GPS signal). You have to manually turn daylight savings on/off twice a year, unlike atomic watches.
In power-saving mode, the battery can last for up to seven (7) years! This comes at the expense of a larger battery, which can take a lot longer to charge up to "full".
The bracelet sounds/feels a bit light (on the cheap side), but it's not bad.
Here's a youtube video (not sure if it's the same watch, but it's the same movement): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5wXZ_gNAWY
Edit: if you want to search youtube for more videos, search for "cc3005-85e".
(This drop is long gone but ..)
In the absence of a GPS signal, the watch is pre-programmed until the year 2100. It automatically knows about the days in a month (30, 31, or 28) and leap years until 2100.
Got the email at 6:59 AM PST and MD shows out of stock at 7:08 AM PST.
Chalking that up to incompetence rather than "sell through"--evidently they never had them to begin with.
I have a hard time believing this watch "sold through" in 16 minutes... That's the time elapsed from when the Drop email hit my inbox and I opened it. What's the story? Why offer the watch up but then not have a way to purchase it? I'd love an explanation from Drop as to what is happening here.
Manufacturer Refurbished versions, with 2-year warranty, available now on eBay for $349. Not sure which is better ... $349 for a refurb, but with 2-year warranty ... or $400 for a new one with essentially no warranty. The eBay deal also offers a blue dial, in addition to the black/gray one shown here.
This is a great watch.
I have a JDM Attesa version in Titanium that cost more than 8 times the cost of this one. It runs the same F150 mechanism and has been rock solid through all my travels and looks great in the board room as well.
