The first of two new incoming - a Quartz "grab and go" for the weekend.
I've been looking for a reasonably cheap and hopefully durable weekender, capable of taking some abuse and standing up to my usual weekend activities- cycling, kayaking, and gardening/diy activities.
As the search went on, not having to set the time and date whenever it was worn became a very important feature, so my initial search for something automatic and Seiko broadened. Eventually while trawling the net over Xmas, I stumbled on this- a Citizen Eco Drive Pro Master
Being blue also differentiated it from my other couple of divers and after reading a couple of positive online reviews, I placed the order.
I wasn't too keen on the standard polyurethane strap when I ordered it, but on arrival, decided to give it a try. However, after a day's use, I found it increasingly uncomfortable - prompting the need for a change onto one of Eddies NATO's.
Initial impression after a weeks ownership, apart from the strap, impressed with overall finish.
Positives - time keeping spot on and very legible with great lume.
Minor gripes - the date window is probably recessed a little too deep making the reading of it difficult at some angles and the bezel's outer surface is a little smooth making a little fiddly to turn.
Finally a picture with newly acquired blue Zulu.
Anyway, I have another incoming tomorrow which I'm really excited about. It should have arrived before Xmas, but was delayed.
Iconic assure me that it will be delivered in the morning, so I hope to be posting again tomorrow.

Looking very good indeed.
Vary nice.
Citizen is more adventurous in styling then Seiko in this range. And, way less boring.
These are great and come with a 5 year warranty unless I'm mistaken.
For the autistic brigade (me included); how well does the second hand line up with the markers?
That's something I was going to mention in my original post, but decided not to as I thought this wouldn't be of interest.Originally Posted by TimeOut
The answer, smack on the markers.
And yes, a five year guarantee.
Rock on!
I 'think' you can make it 6 years if you register on line
Yes that's correct.
