    I have been looking at several different watches but this is the one that really stands out to me, looks but also price. This would be my first “nice” watch. I had a stupid Samsung smartwatch but I didn’t like being attached to my phone so I bought a g-shock ga100-mb-1a. I like not being tethered to my phone with the gshock and have wanted a nicer watch for a bit. Please let me know what you think or if you think there is a better option. Only finishing up high school so I do not really want to go above 200usd.

      I have the Promaster Skyhawk from Citizen now since 2015.

      It’s a daily for me and I work in a very physical job. I have a bit of wear but the thing is bullet proof.

      Eco drive is amazing too, most cheaper battery watches I bought had maybe 2-3 years on them before dying. Eco drive just keeps going.

      Hello!

      I’m probably rehashing what others have said but my 2¢ in a nutshell:

      • If you like that watch, you want to own it, and it’s in your price range, get it. :)
      • in my opinion, that is a nice watch. So, I agree with you and we have at the very least, some overlap in watch preferences. :)
      • That being said, what constitutes a nice watch is such a subjective thing. You’ll hear this a lot from others, but screw what others think. You do you.
      • citizen eco drive are a solid, popular watch line, also they are also not too hard on the wallet. It’s a solid solar powered quartz that you can just grab and go at any time. Can’t go wrong with it.

    You really can’t go wrong with a Eco Drive, and that is a good price.

      Yeah I have the solar eco drive and it’s my go to when I don’t want to set a mechanical.

      I love mechanicals but I tend to wear a different watch everyday and it gets old setting the time over and over.

    This is a nice first watch! Well done. I have a couple EcoDrives and never had issues with them.

    Check that it’s sapphire and also check the thickness. Some citizens are thicc bois that don’t slider under most cuffs.

    Also check out prices on OfficialWatchDeals on Ebay.

    That will serve you well… eco drives are dope and this looks fun and sporty. You can have some fun with this trying out some different bands. Might look pretty cool on a black band

    Obviously as a citizen, can’t go wrong with an eco drive like everyone mentioned. Just make sure you like the look and that the case size is comfortable for your wrist. Too big and you may not like it. Also, for this one, the date window is in a weird spot but suppose that’s not a deal breaker. You’ll be able to swap out straps to keep things fresh. Good luck!

    Eco Drives are great. I’m sure you’d be happy with that watch. I would consider whether you would like an automatic watch more. Once I started buying automatic watches with sweeping hands I haven’t bought another Quartz watch since. You can find some great Seiko watches in your price range. Check some of them out and best of luck in your search.
