    I love this brand. I have both mechanical and Eco-Drive timepieces, and they are fantastic.

    I love Citizen for unbeatable value, innovation. Just bought a "Signature Collection" NB0040-59A off ebay. Been eyeing this model for a couple years but never came across one cheap.
    This watch beats the pants off many mid luxury Swiss watches ( Ive owned Ebel, B&M, Cartier, Tudor) when it comes to value for money. Citizen is just in a league of it's own.

    That's a lot of content! I have the belief that Citizen has superior radio-controlled atomic time tech over Casio. I'm living at the fringes of the radio range for North America, and I can see which brands are reliable at receiving the signal while which ones are hit-and-miss.

    Ive got six Citizens. Oldest is 15cyears, its taken a battering, never been serviced and its still keeping perfectly accessible time keeping. Nice to see attitudes to the vrand getting more positive.

      agree 100% I own 3 Eco drives, & just got an auto signature collection. Cant be Eco for durability , fuss free.
      The Signature auto beats Orient Star & Seiko autos. #1 Japanese in my books

      @newtonlee7849 Absolutely agree with you. I've gone own any Auto Citizens but I've recently relented and bought two Seikos, a SRPF77K1 and a SPB315J1. They're nice, but I look at my Citizen BJ7111-51M for a lot less money and I still think they offer more watch for the money.

    Informative, entertaining, and engaging, as always! I guess the next natural subject would be Orient or Casio?

    Eco-Drive really is a game changer. Mechanical watches are awesome but quartz is no less impressive with it electrical soul and accuracy!

    I really like the series 8 lines. I wish they'd do a bit more exotic stuff with their higher end.. to match the beauty of grand seiko dials.

    I would love to own an eco-drive but somehow I never come across one I really like. I am quite into late 60s, early 70s retro I for the moment they don't do that with eco-drive...
