I think that was a great move from Citizen to not destroy the Eco-Zilla but just give it a make over. I have owned my S/S Eco-Zilla since 2009 and even now in 2022 it has absolutly no sign of wear. The movement is a high torque Eco Drive and has always lined up bang on the markers. The green colour way is a brilliant way to continue with a weapon of a watch!! I also love what they have done with the Orca....another 2009 relic in my collection that got a great make over. Kudos on the video and also kudos to Citizen!! 👏
After this review I found a very good deal of the all silver model on Amazon and bought it. Amazing piece but I had to return it because the second hand didn't hit any of the markers. I will buy it again soon though. Really liked it.
@@TheBoldHairspring Good idea friend as I think it will outlive us these Ecozillas!! If you get a good one you will not want to get rid!!All the best.👍
I have the originals..both are awesome..but my favorite is the Pingo Aqualand with gold accents..
@@davebrune4001 Citizen does make divers watches look like what they should look like for sure!! Pingo no exception either. 👍
I want both if I can afford to
The manufacturers prefer to use mineral crystal on professional dive watches because it doesn’t fracture nearly as easy as sapphire under pressure when you hit it on something. Keep that in mind on your future reviews.
ALL watch reviewers who do not dive assume a diver's watch needs sapphire glass.
The watch is nicknamed ecozilla, it has finally collaborated with Godzilla !! They were released as BJ8056-01E, BJ8059-03Z. 😄
That ecoZilla is super cool
It is! I ordered the regular ecozilla bj8050 for myself this morning. Couldn't resist 😅.

Finally someone that shows the 2000 with steel bracelet. Any chance you will get the black with rubber strap in?
Hi, I do have some Citizen reviews coming next month but unfortunately I haven't planned to review the black with the rubber strap.
My Citizen BN2041-81L Eco Drive runs about 9 sec fast per month. My Citizen JP2000-08e runs less than 1 sec fast per month.
I wish the Citizen JP-2000 has orange minute hand. I see no reason to remove orange minute hand. Also I think this watch only suits a rubber strap. It does not look good on stainless steel bracelet.
Zilla has MINERAL GLASS , NOT SAPPHIRE!
True, my bad 👍🏻
Update on the ecozilla? Recommend/ not? Ect…?
The two watches featured were on loan as mentioned in the beginning. However, shortly after I made this video, I bought the regular model ecozilla in silver. Unfortunately, I had to return it because the second hand didn't hit any of the markers, and the rubber band was extremely stiff opposite to the green model I reviewed. That being said, I still want one, and I'll rebuy in the future.
Not Sapphire !
Nice! ⌚️
Thank you ☺️
Crystal is not sapphire
Yes, it is. On both of them 👍🏻
@@TheBoldHairspring the citizen website states it is mineral crystal
@@TheBoldHairspring 6:25?
@@nikosex5282 ah yeah. I stay corrected. Only the Ecozilla comes with a sapphire crystal. Sorry too many watches around me 🤣.
