Quartz is great if you want a set it and forget it mentality. Much more accurate and Cheaper maintenance. Usually are less thick than a mechanical as well. Can be more durable with less worries. A quartz watch technically does a better job of telling you the time. Mechanical watches though are more like a piece of art. There is craftsmanship that goes into making a mechanical watch (some much more than others). If you do not care much about that part, go quartz. To me, the biggest part of this deal is sapphire. Any time you can get sapphire near this price point it is worthwhile. I own some mechanical watches and some quartz watches. I often grab my trusty tag formula 1 quartz. It looks good, is always ready to go, and can take a beating.

I have this exact same watch that I bought a little over a decade ago as college grad present to myself. I considered its to be one of the best present to myself since it's still my daily driver to this day! The band is pretty beat up but since the face is sapphire crystal it looks like the day I bought it.

Highly recommend this beautiful watch!

Nothing is wrong. It's like an abacus vs a calculator. An automatic watch is basically a mechanical watch (like the abacus). It stores energy from you winding the crown, or from kinetic movement (from you swinging your arm while you walk), and uses that energy to operate. A quartz (the calculator) requires solar or battery. Quartz is more accurate, but much cheaper to produce. An automatic watch might have only 35-120 hour power reserve before it needs you to give it more energy (wind it). A quartz will go a few years on battery power. A fancy automatic movement can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. They are like engineering + art. They can be extremely complex. They can be a pain in the ass, lots can go wrong when you have many moving parts, hence cheap ones don't hold power for very long or are inacurate. If you see the second hand ticking every second, it is most likely a quartz watch. If you see it "sweeping" it is most likely an automatic watch but there are some quartz watches that "sweep" like an automatic from Bulova and Seiko/grand Seiko. Quartz is nice if you don't want to worry about dealing with your watch. Just set it and forget it. Don't wear it for a few weeks, no problem it's still ticking with accuracy. Automatics are more like a pet, requiring a bit more from the user. Any high end watch Rolex, Omega, Tudor, RM, Grand Seiko, AP, Patek, is all about automatics for the most part.

One other question:
I am comparing the same model on the TISSOT and Nordstrom site VS this one on the RACK.

The dial numbers are VERY different. Counterfeit???

https://www.tissotwatches.com/en-...04700.html
I think Nordstrom rack is selling an older model hence it looks a bit different. The bottom Chronograph window looks different too. I like the new look more but it's so subtle. Either design look great overall.

Yes, it's quartz, but after owning a Tissot automatic that will cost up to $200 to repair the movement (to accurately tell time again)... I'm okay with that .. esp when it's a chrono.
$200 to repair? What? How does it become "bad"?

I haven't spent much time with my autos to know I have to repair them.

Yeah, autos have accuracy life spans. My Tissot Auto (PRS 216 or something) ended up being off by minutes every day. Tissot, to their credit, offered to repair it, but told me the cost could be around $100 - $200. Autos are cool, I have a couple of them, but they're also not maintenance free, like Quartz.

Thanks! I spoke to Nordstom to see if they would PM, they would not. But the agent assured me it was not a counterfeit and I bought it. I hope the hub likes it.

Also, FWIW, the same pic on the Rack site is on the Bloomingdales site, so *shrug*.

I also asked it if would have a box and paperwork was told yes, so maybe slam dunk? I hope so. Decent watch for $5 less then it would cost to fix the Citizen. Mad

One last question for you, since you own it: I loved the black one but I was sure my hub would hate the yellow hands. He loves blue. How do you like your blue one?

Seems like a good deal. I wish the PRS200 was on sale though. Don't love the look of the 12/3/9

Hi, what do you mean you spoke to Nordstrom and asked if they would "PM" and they would not? What does "PM" mean?

Also I looked at both and decided on the black after watching a few youtube reviews of this. You can see from the reviews the actual tone of blue. I chose the black as a personal preference, but like you said I really wish they did not use the yellow as well. Regardless both look good!

Sorry I just bought it yesterday so it hasn't arrived yet. If he likes the citizen eco drive, I'm sure he will love this one.
I chose blue because I don't already have a blue yet but both look great. Check the picture on one of the reviews. The blue looks stunning with the little glare on that picture.

Here's a nice unboxing of this exact watch in blue: https://youtu.be/nF8da-uIR0I

The on wrist look is nice.
I saw a few videos of the black too and it's also quite nice.

I called Nordstrom customer service and asked if they would Price Match (PM).
I have had luck doing this in the past with competitors. Nordstrom is pretty great with things like this, but this time it didn't work because the item is on further sale. It was worth the call, though. I would have preferred to buy from Nordstrom. Hope that helps!

I'm leaning towards the Ballade as well, but that dial pattern bothers me. It looks a bit...cheap. The newer version looks way better but they changed the ring around the dial to have a more Rolex look. Not a fan of that one either.

I'm looking at the Tissot gentleman watch now lol. Here's a great video comparing it to seiko presage https://youtu.be/ntgxme0rkZA.

Too many choices...but that's the fun in this hobby.

Automatic watches need to be service every 5-8 years. Omega charges $550 to service a non-chronograph and $750 for a chronograph watch. If you don't get it serviced, eventually the oils inside will solidify and the watch will stop working altogether.

There is a great channel on YouTube called wristwatch revival that goes thru a step by step process of servicing and repairing watches.

I don't even like wearing watches anymore, but I am getting seriously tempted reading this thread and watching the unboxing. I kinda like the way the blue one looks. Damn you SL! Smilie
