Citizen Eco-Drive Chrono CA0739-13H $199.00 delivered
It's a Citizen classic for skinny wrists. Not sure why you'd do that unless it was out of warranty which is 5 years and heavily scratched.
Would plan to keep it for the long haul. 10 years time a spare sapphire glass would be essential
And then what happens when you scratch the sapphire glass? Buy another sapphire glass? Why not just buy multiple replacement mineral glass if so worried?
@onlinepred: You haven't browse the seiko modding community - some things are just for the sake of the upgrade.
@Perrino: Very confused, isn't this a Citizen? Are you a part of the Seiko modding community? Are you planning to mod this into a Citytona?
@onlinepred: I have a 30+ watch collection. I've managed ot scratch some mineral and Seiko hardlex crystals, it's only a matter of time if you wear the watch enough. I have never managed scratched a sapphire crystal. Not even cheaper sapphire crystals on aliexpress watches and mod sites.
@h3rbz: Sapphire scratches for sure, if you are skilled like me. And you can't polish it out either. Obviously Sapphire is better, but at this price point surely not a big consideration
@onlinepred: Came here to say this as well. If you've not scratched a sapphire glass, you've not tried hard enough.
If you are going to mod this.. might as well just pay a little extra and get yourself a baltany or san martin. I find those two just as good and SM qc is pretty solid. IMHO of cause.
Yes just worry about it if/when the time comes - I wouldn't bother modding and potentially mucking up the seal especially on divers, and cheap watches.
For a $159 watch? That reminds me of a joke about Lada, the pride of Russian automobiles.
How do you double the value of a Lada?
Fill it up with petrol.
Ha! That's funny. The only good thing about Lada cars is the heater was described as being almost 'nuclear' because of the amount of heat it put out. Probably because the engine ran too hot.

Just need to buy a replacement sapphire glass for this one.
Genuine Anko!
I've bought one of these thing, 34mm for mine.
I'll let you know how it goes when/if it arrives.

Nice!!
I bought this recently on a weekend sale at $169 and it's great. I love the look & texture of the dial which isn't easy to see in photos. Note that the second hand is only used for the chronograph feature, it's not full-time sweeping. The sub-dial at 6 o'clock takes over this duty and shows seconds elapsing.
Thanks for the heads up but I'm wondering how Random Rob got it ticking in the video then?
Edit - Never mind, he says the chrono is running at 00.56.
Is it hard to read at a glance.. white dial and white hands, seems like a very non contrasting combinations.
I agree the black outline on the hands could be thicker, but I've not had any trouble. In fact, I bought because I wanted something with Arabic numerals that was very legible. Tell you what - those luminous hands certainly light up in the dark!
The value for money for these cheaper EcoDrives is exceptional.
Tempting. That silver/grey dial is fairly unique, and the subdials stop it from looking too plain. The strap is a bit ugh, it would be swapped out quick smart.
Tell you what though, if the CA0739-13H came up on a daily deal I'd grab it instantly. Hint, hint.

A while ago I bought several watches from starbuy, I gave them a call first and they were happy to offer further discounts. Never hurts to ask.
Holy.. shit.
Why did you link that watch!??? What a beauty and i told myself I'm not going to get anymore..
Damn!!
Deepak dropped it to $199. I've added it to the post @Astronaut Joe.
Ask and ye shall receive I guess! Duly ordered! :)
Of course, that made the decision on the original AT0200 easy, it shall have to wait for another day.
Why are you doing this… why?
Is making me poor funny to you?
ordered 😞
Must resist…. Too many many good watch deals last two weeks!
Just got myself a Berny Mondiaine homage so will have to use the excuse that I already have a white dial watch to hold off for now :-)
Received my AT0200-13A today. Holes in the band doesn't suite my wrist ether too loose or too tight. Any reasonably priced options for alternative bands or should I return it?
First "not smart" watch…
Just get a NATO or something. If you have a few other watches you could look at Barton silicon elites from. The US, sign up discounts etc
Dammit missed again!
The CA0739-13H is still $199.00.
Please bring back the deal for Citizen Eco-Drive Chrono AT0200-13A
Pretty awesome looking watch - anyone here replaced theirs with sapphire glass?
