Oceanus Watch: Citizen Men's JR3060-59F Eco-Drive Titanium Skyhawk Chronograph Watch Review

Average Reviews:
4.2 out of 5 stars

(More customer reviews)First the good news: this is a superbly designed watch. The advanced features (e.g., chronograph, world time zone settings, alarms) are easy to use and understand. Due to the Eco-drive system, the battery lasts practically forever and it keeps accurate time. The titanium version is much lighter than the stainless and it really is waterproof. If you are a pilot the slide bezel works great for calculating fuel consumption, speed, etc. The safety clasp fastens securely and is easy to use.

Now the bad news: it's shockingly fragile. Granted I'm fairly hard on watches, so the fact that the crystal got all scratched up was sort of a given. That happens to me all the time. What I didn't expect, however, is that the titanium case and band was abraded just as easily. Unlike a stainless band, it's very obvious when the titanium one is scratched; the damage clearly shows up as bright silver lines on the matte titanium finish.

If I had this to do all over again I'd get the stainless version and live with the extra weight. In fact, when this one dies (or I just get tired of looking at all the surface blemishes) I will buy the stainless one. It's a little cheaper too.
