Cheapest it has been on Amazon for well over a year by 3C. Seems to be a pretty solid watch with (mostly) good reviews.
I'd love to hear 28Degrees' opinion though, s/he is the watch guru on Ozbargain.

Thanks, great advice. I've set some alerts for some eco-drives, I just hate paying $15 to get the battery changed.
Citizen Eco-Drives won't need a battery change for well over 10 years from what I have read.
You can get 37mm Seiko 5 automatics for less, like the popular field watch in 4 different colours for under $80.00 delivered
I have seen photos of these with brown leather straps & they look really smart.
There are still 5 Eco-Drive models available for $99.00 + shipping at Starbuy, follow the links here
The 5th one is in the comments.
It should be noted that as a titanium watch, it's suitable for people with metal allergies. The weight of titanium watches are also very low compared to those with stainless steel band/casing.
Useful for 1/20 people, potentially.
You are really just paying for the titanium..
Titanium is not only lighter in mass, but also softer, so it can blemish a bit easier. It will also react more with skin oils and discolour requiring a clean with a cloth. The mass might be important on a hefty watch, but this isn't one.
Funny how 37mm dial is now regarded as "small"
Back in the day…….
Hi mazorn, Seiko is one of my favourite brands and Camel records go back to Nov 2008 so it's a good deal, I haven't looked anywhere else though.
It all depends what you like really. This is only 37mm diameter so it would be ok for small wrists. It's also only a quartz watch, so I guess you are paying a higher price for it being titanium which I personally don't really care about.
If you are after a dress watch for this kind of money I would rather buy an automatic like the 41mm Orient Symphony II Automatic Watch Sapphire Crystal for approx $140 (US$99.00 + US$5.00) delivered.
Orient is owned by Seiko & their movements are manufactured in-house in Japan.
