Sharp Watch Shout Out: Citizen Men's Eco Drive Weekender Watch

I recently saw this Citizen Men's Eco Drive Weekender watch with a blue dial and a blue polyurethane strap. It's an amazing looking watch. I like the dimpled dial and the sports GT-style strap. While it may be an elastomeric polymer, from a distance, that strap sure looks like the wrap from around an old sports car steering wheel. In such a brilliant blue, this Citizen watch certainly deserves a sharp watch shout out!

The specifications for this watch match the sporty looks, too. It has a stainless steel case and 100-meters of water resistance. Amazon reviewers note that it has a long strap to fit most wearers and that the watch holds up well to sweat and activity. The watch is rather large with a 44mm diameter case. 

This watch has a Caliber J810 movement that is solar powered. Citizen Eco Drive watches never need batteries, but they may need a capacitor replaced every ten years or so.  There are instructions online for how to do this and a jeweler should also be able to handle it.

For a limited time (as of this May 2025 writing), this watch is on sale for 25% off for a price coming in at a little over $200. To take a closer look at this timepiece, check it out here on Amazon!

Titanium Tuesday: Citizen Men's Ecodrive Weekender Casual Sport Watch

Should we have a Titanium Tuesday? The lightweight wonder metal is all the rage in the world of watch making. It has many advantages.  The metal is strong, light weight, water resistant, corrosion resistant, temperature resistant, and rust resistant. It also has a natural oxide layer that tends to self-repair light scratches. There are lots of affordable options for titanium watches in the marketplace. That's why I'll feature some here. The first up is this attractive Citizen's Men's Ecodrive Weekender Casual Sports Watch.  It's bright and cheery and will help you fend off seasonal affective disorder when winter gets dreary.

If found this one on Amazon.  It has a 41mm diameter case, a sapphire crystal, 100 meters of water resistance, a date window, and a bright orange dial.  One drawback is that the bezel is fixed and doesn't rotate.  But, the band is made of genuine leather.  If you'd like to check it out, bang it here to see it on Amazon. As of this writing (11/2024), the watch is listed at 16% off of the normal retail price.  It's a nice looking watch for everyday wear.
