rckh Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 Dear All: I found something very interest; & I want to hear from all of u. What do u think? Is it worth? "Citizen Eco-Drive BL-9000" ~ Perpetual Calendar ~ Minute Repeater Function ~ GMT Dual Time ~ Alarm ~ Curve Sapphire Glass ~ Date and Month Display ~ Eco-Drive (Recharged by any light sources, no need to change battery) ~ Eco-Drive 240 Days Running Time From Full Charge ~ Insufficient Charge Warning Function ~ Quartz Movement ~ Price are below USD$400.- Why I'm interest? This is the first quartz watch which provide "Minutes-Repeater"Demo + "Perpetual Calender" (According the information from official-site; no need to adjust the day until Year 2100) + Dual Time GMT & less than USD400. If the above function provide in a mechanical-watch; the price will un-touchable sky-high. I knew it's not a cool or good looking watch. Any comment ?

georgegrasser Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I don't like it. I do like some Citizen. Like the Campanola. But not this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 if I am going to buy a perpetual calendar it will be a mechanical powered watch...the same goes for the min repeater...I am not buying anymore quartz watches...dunno what would really need to happen that i buy one...so this one is defintely not going to be bought by me...as for the citizen...i like only a couple of models..those big divers...those are nice!...and have a mechanical movement...

anton Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 I don't like it. I do like some Citizen. Like the Campanola. But not this one. I remember when I first saw it and was awed about the accuracy of these watches. I was pulled in by their print ad. But the copy fails to mention what kind of mechanism it is, so I had to do the research myself. But at $3-4K, with these complications and metals offered is still a bargain if all you care about is aesthetic appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear what you are saying, Raymond, but I'm afraid I will also say The white face looks too plain and nerdy, and the blue face looks unserious. It doesn't even have the quirkiness of an all-white Timex Triathlon Dual-Tech which Will Ferrell wore in "Stranger than Fiction". Sorry babe.
