Since I gave my son a Citizen Promaster Eco-Drive last year, the little seed has continued to germinate to also give me an Eco-Drive. OK, we are not the nobility of mechanical watchmaking but rather in the functional watch that tells the time very well. It must be recognized that the operation of the eco-drive is remarkable. I had already been troubled when acquiring the Promaster on the movement in two-second increments of the second hand! Sacrilege, it is new and does not work properly... Even constant for this one but with experience in addition 😎 Its thwarted movement is simply an indicator of low battery charge. A short day with the current little sun and Hop it resumes its jerky rhythm characteristic of quartz watches! For this one? I had already hesitated a few months ago with a promo on a merchant site and by dint of procrastinating, the lucky one was gone! Chance made me meet a buyer of this same watch but with a black dial. I put it on my wrist and it just matched. The design, the lightness and the visual and touch softness are very very cool... OK, the look is not ultra-innovative either... But it is precisely a watch made to be functional, without more or less questionable aesthetic attributes and especially not a "Fashion Watch". A beautiful watch, simple to have one on the wrist - otherwise I am unhappy! From a figurative point of view we are close to the void but from a literal point of view, it is a good 3-hand watch and the date that gives the time in good conditions of aesthetics and sobriety... The most important thing is elsewhere, here we are both, with my son, in Citizen Boys 👍

Zenshin means "moving forward" and facing adversity while remaining calm. This is a strong and symbolic word to describe this watch. Light and robust thanks to its titanium case and bracelet, it is forgotten on the wrist. Its movement, a Miyota 8213, nevertheless accomplishes its task very well. Larger than its Swiss cousin, the PRX, its dimensions are 44 mm in diameter and 12.1 mm thick, compared to 40 mm and 10.93 mm for the PRX. Its dial appears smaller thanks to a small hack. The framing of the indexes by the black seconds band gives us the impression of a smaller dial. I chose this green shade because it reminds me of a lake. It is a really pleasant and soothing color that sparkles in the sun. A watch that is worth it in terms of quality for the price and which exudes a lot of charm.

Not having a titanium watch in my collection, I set my sights on this new Citizen. The advantage, a great lightness, 90 grams! Grade 5 titanium, octagonal case, nicely textured green dial.... Small downside for the basic movement but it does the job well. I am won over, Citizen knows how to do as well as Seiko. The quality-price ratio is excellent. A pretty Citizen on my wrist.
