Yeah, but the hands on the Australian model turn counter-clockwise.

kkinaI heard you lose a lot of accuracy if you turn it sideways and try to read it.

1s1kJust not a fan of any solar powered watch. Give me mechanical or a battery. If it was my only watch and I wore it every day then no problem but if it’s in rotation with others you always have to leave it on a window sill or something.

My Citizen is in a windowless room & the ambient light from the next room & occasional lights on in the room is sufficient that it always shows a full charge.
YMMV, obviously

The Euro version (left) would be the one I would get based just on the more visible, easier to read hands. Shame they didn’t offer a green handset similar to the Euro’s yellow on the USA version. (Right)
It looks like this movement is the same Seiko movement found in the Prospex Chrono Diver and Prospex Speedtimer which retail for $400-600+ so I suppose it is not outlandish with the pricing compared to other somewhat similar watches with similar if not identical movements.
I like the dial on the right, but the hands from the left.
The green hands seem to get lost. Not sure if it's the color or the skeletonized.

Looks like these have orange hands, etc. Maybe the green ones are numbered?

I agree. I have the one on the right but wish it had the hands of the one on the left.

Left-hand version for me - seems it's the only Glock I'll ever own again.

They must have improved them over the years because Citizen is who I was referring to. I had two that were both a pain in the but that ended up dying. Started out fine then needed to be left in a window sill in between wearing and then after a couple years of that directly under a lamp would be the only way to get them to wake up.
Threw both in the trash before either of them were ten years old.

I thought the Australians said they turn anti clockwise...
I'm sure all the folks who always say you get what you pay for will be all over this overpriced watch.

HK AgI see the new one is in orange, that would pair well with my Astros gear.
