Politely disagree due to the fact of the 52mm lug to lug length hanging off the edge of your 7" wrist.
How do you know how it wears on Groovey's wrist?
You are 100% absolutely, catagorically incorrect. There is no overhang. Thanks for playing though!
Can we get a photo? All I can find is the below video, in which it looks too big for a 7-inch wrist…
@electricslapper: That fellow has quite a round wrist that’s fairly thick top to bottom. My wrist is flatter/wider and more muscular.
I would attach a photo but I’m away on holiday at the moment and don’t have it with me on this trip.
Would jump if it was the 251 at this price, alas it's another $100.
I regret not jumping on it when it was $435 before black friday.
Great watch, I bought the 96A225 during the last 1 day sale…
I think the stainless is much prettier anyway.
Me too.
Agreed. I got a 96B251 (commemorative box, leather strap and spare nylon strap) at $449 back in June and it's one my favourites, I've left it on the leather strap, very comfortable despite my thin wrists, wears light for its size.
How long will the battery last in this watch? Do you need to have the watch pressure tested after battery change?
About 4 years.
Like all watches, if you want to guarantee the water proof rating after the battery change it's recommended to retest it.
Probably not 4 years due to it running a Bulove Precisionist movement - increased speed of the seconds hand compared to a basic quartz to simulate an automatic movement.
Was thinking of getting one of the Bulova moon watch for precision time keeping but holding off due to battery change. I think I will stick with my Eco-Drive that only gain 6 seconds per month, so 72 seconds for a year is not bad at all.
@Metz: Have a look at the casio t200
Looks and acts like a quartz but is synced to phone atomic time. Never out by a second.
Oops, yep that was a typo, I meant to write "about 2 years"
@cashie: Even at two years, I'd just change the battery myself. I wouldn't be taking this thing anywhere near the water. I think most enthusiasts have at least one diver these days.
@ilikeit: Do you have a link for a case opener for a quartz of this size? I could not find one to open a case back like this one size wise
I have the 225 version of this and can confirm it is a nice well made watch. Not great for those with a small wrist though.
I have the silver metal banded one, love it. It's my daily
Ugh too big , where my 42mm pilots at

Just spoke to Deepak & managed to get the silver model down to $389.00 delivered with code - lunarsteel
Oof. I paid $499 for this a few weeks ago from Starbuy. I'm going to cry in the corner now.
Well done WatchNerd, I paid $399 on sale 6 weeks ago. Good price.
Missed out big time on this one. Any chance of an additional coupon code again?
Black or silver? Black or silver? Black or silver? Black or silver? Black or silver?
Silver for sure
Got the silver one, but forgot to enter the $50 OFF discount code.
Black ! The branding script is classier too..
Great deal.
Any chance of getting a deal on the Citizen Eco-Drive BT0080-59E?
I work in TV production and accurate timing is everything. Love the velcro and leather strap option but this watch is phenomenal.
Anyone has a link to a case opener for this size of quartz?
The watch looks great but to add more quartz I need to be able to change batteries by myself, I have at least 2 quartz left in the drawer cause out of battery.
And before anything say, this is ozbargain, where we are ok to pay $$$ for a discounted watch, but too cheap to spend $40 dollars to change a battery (a proper battery in a shop where there is someone that properly handle watches)
I just bought a cheapo from Aliexpress. I figured if it breaks after opening a few watches then it's not a big loss, but it hasn't broken yet.
I think you need to be pretty strong in the wrist to use this type as there isn't much leverage. You also need to be very carefull so you don't slip & scratch the caseback.
The one I got from ebay (the standard one T shape, is not wide enough for a 45mm case (the back should be 43mm), and agree since there is not much connection while I can connect 2 of the insert area, need to have 3 to put enough force to open it with the T shape model.
Any watches under 40mm?
Thanks mate
Fantastic watch. Have the original bead-blasted finish and it's incredible. The dial is beautiful, finish is great, accuracy is amazing. Have heard a lot of complaints about the size, but it looks and wears perfectly on my 7" wrist - very comfortable indeed. Definitely jump on one of these.
