chrislaver says "Best watch I have ever owned..." about Citizen Eco-Drive Titanium Watch

chrislaver — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:13:33 GMT

I have had two of these watches - the first I inadvertantly took on a deep dive and managed to flood it. (Note WR 100 does not mean you should take it on dives).

The second had an issue with the internal battery about a year after I bought it. Citizen replaced it and had it returend to me within 10 days. They have very efficient warranty service.

I am a bit clumsy, so bash it on things all the time - both the band and the watch face do not show wear.

Overall quite a reliable watch for a much more reasonable price than the big-name brands.

A great PDA overall - quick loading, great functionality. Only drawback is the lack of hard-wired memory (those memory chips are really expensive), and the poor functioning video support in the media player.

The screen is the best I have seen besides the IPhone...but with the verizon rebate it is quite a lot cheaper.

Great dishwasher - if a bit pricey.

For some reason the JET solution (rinse aid) does not go a long way in this dishwasher...even on the lowest settings for "disbursement" (one can adjust the amount of rinse aid dispensed).

It is very quiet and the cleaning/removal of food particles from the screen trap is quite easy.

Considering this trip began as a family celebration, there was a strong negative bias from the start.

The staff made the trip enjoyable and comfortable from the word "go". The food was much better than I would expect from a kitchen cooking for an entire ship.

Some of the activities were a bit cheesy, but in all I would go back in a heartbeat.
