    Apologies in advance for asking a dumb question, but if I were to compare Seiko 5 Sports Automatic SNZG15K1 against Citizen Eco Drive AW5000-24E, would I be able to pick a clear winner? Both of the watches will cost ~$119.00. :)

    • sky blu on 29/12/2017 - 23:04

      It's not about winning. Don't buy a watch because of people's choice, buy it because it's your choice. Go with your heart, pick the one you fancy and curate your style over time.

      You can't really compare them as the Seiko is an automatic & the Citizen is a quartz eco-drive.
      They are both great watches, but you need to figure out what you want. The main reason some people don't like automatic watches is if you don't wear it everyday it will stop.

      The only problem I have with the Seiko is the word SPORTS on the dial. I can deal with it on my $5.15 Skmei 1134, but not on a Seiko classic.

      Seiko SNZG15K1 US$94.71 - $9.47 = $85.24 shipped (approx AU$109.50) Use Code PUNCH

      Your question is not dumb and Member sky blu's reply is indeed valid. I'm assuming you are comparing the watches from a logical viewpoint in a quest for value. The Eco-Drive has a solar battery and some people have reported 20+ years' use. I recently posted a deal for Q&Q watches with solar batteries for $28.50 each. It is impossible to buy a new Seiko Automatic for anywhere near that price and as you know ~$119 is a good deal. Automatics usually attract a premium price anyway, so I favour the Seiko in terms of value. Bear in mind the Automatic will one day require servicing - maybe not for 15 years - and that cost typically exceeds today's price.

      Creation Watches have a 10% off code CHRISTMAS.

          Excellent feel and look and quite comfortable to wear. Thanks again guys! :)

          @PJC: yup says expired and also no longer on ebay home page. I was referring to the citizen CC3005-51E and also the Seiko SRPB53K. But I need to hold off for a little while.

  • Kremleen on 30/12/2017 - 02:10

    Hey guys, I'm tempting to get a watch as this will be my first one at 20 yo. How do I go about choosing one?

    • PJC on 30/12/2017 - 02:31
      +1

      Get an idea of what you like and dislike by browsing an online store like this. I suggest that one because it has fashion brands, popular brands like Seiko and Citizen, and a good range of high-end luxury brands. Decide your range of preferences regarding case size, automatic/solar/quartz, chronograph/dress/sporty, minimalist/normal/busy, Japanese/Swiss Made/German/Chinese, metal/leather/silicon/NATO strap, colours etc. With a clearer idea of your requirements and budget, start seeking a good deal and you can always return here for advice.

      • Kremleen on 30/12/2017 - 04:21

        There are a lot of variables after looking on the link. Is there a guide as to how well a certain case size or style fits me? Or just go by your feeling? Cheers

        • PJC on 30/12/2017 - 09:11
          +1

          Try some watches in a physical shop and you will soon learn what size range suits you.

    • sky blu on 30/12/2017 - 02:46
      +1

      If PJC's advice is a lot to take in, allow me to help:

      Start with this one and you'd be rising in the ranks on Ozbargain. Trust me, you can't go wrong with that. Make sure to disclose the fact that you've never had a watch before the age of 20 when people ask though.

      Warning: it is a chick magnet so wearing at weekends only is advisable.

      • PJC on 30/12/2017 - 03:22

        Good point because unfortunately Jomashop don't sell those although they stock Breitling, Rolex and TAG Heuer.
