My ideal EDC watch - Citizen Eco-Drive WR 200

[loobcom]

I am not sure whether you can still buy this watch, I have had it for a bout 7 years.

The case and strap hardwear are Ti and the mineral glasses slightly domed. Numerals are XLL. This watch has had a lot of wear and does not have a mark on it. It originally came with a stitched kevlar strap, but I have now put a mil type nylon strap on it.

Its solar powered so you never need to buy a battery.

Cost me about £100 ($us170) back then.

Perfect!

I recently picked up and 300m Eco-Drive Pro Diver and let me say that I am happy with the purchase... Finally a watch that never needs batteries... I live way up in the Colorado Hills and try to never go to town... so currently I have 3 (outa 6) watches that need batteries... I have a first gen Seiko Kinetic but the thing weighs a ton... this new watch is so light that I forget its there...

Nice watch.* My wife just ordered an Eco-Drive 180 http://www.citizenwatch.com/COC/English/detail.asp?Country=COC&Language=English&ModelNumber=EW1060-50E* She was if the titanium would scratch like her old watch.* I told her it's pretty strong* :armor: Now she owns more Ti then me :(

I like the big numbers. Any idea what the model number is?

That's sweet... You can't go wrong with CITIZEN....
I had a CASIO Ti but you better ask GG to show some Pictures...
Not bad for a CASIO

Anyone interested in writing a watch review for EDC Magazine? Should be about 500 words or so.

Let me know!

Looks pretty bullet-proof. I prefer simpler designs anymore, too many beels & whistles confuse me :)

I was a tad disappointed to find the original WR200 was no longer in production but have made do with this

It has the same features plus a perpetual calender.

OK so what model is the new one? Do you know how it is different?

I had one very similar to that and I LOVED it. I am sad that I sold it and plan on finding another one similar some day soon. The titanium case is coated with Duratect, which makes the finish of the ti nearly scratch proof. It also had a sapphire crystal, which is ideal for EDC purposes.

Nice watch, love that monocoque case.

I can do a watch review.* I too have a Titanium Citizen.* I have a Seiko Blue Sawtooth, and I have a Seiko Orange Samurai.*

I would totally be all over that old version. Very drool-worthy.
