I needed a new watch and have "tried out" 4 different watches.  In the process I discovered that my skin likes titanium watch bands best.  This limits one's choices a bit but I did find 4 very different watches to figure out what I would like to wear now.  The Citizen Navigator was very nice, expensive and just too big to wear comfortably for day to day use.  I had a hard time returning it because it was so cool. I liked the Satellite time sync anywhere in the world, but again just too big for me.  I also tried a Seiko (not in titanium).  It was a beautiful watch with solar charging and radio time update, but was thick and heavy.  Next I tried a Bering watch.  It was very nice, but retro.  Have to manually adjust the date function when the month was less than 31 days (in this day and age?).  Thin and light, wish I wasn't so lazy because I did like to watch on my wrist.

Finally this Titanium Citizen Eco-Drive is what I kept.  Not as beautiful but very nice looking.  Still large but not massive and a very cool watch.  Every night when I place it on the nightstand the time is synchronized with the atomic clock in Colorado at 2 am.  It gets plenty of light to keep the battery fully charged and will last months in a drawer before needed access to light for a recharge.  Day of the week, date, 24 hr. mini-dial, tachometer, an alarm you can actually hear (though not loud enough to overcome background noise) and timer functions.  Very functional and fun and rests nicely and comfortably on my wrist.

My only complaint is the watch band clasp.  It is not as rugged as the other Citizen I tried.  The other one was a double clasp and never popped open.  When I first started wearing this watch I did have the clasp pop open a time or two, but since then apparently my subconscious mind has altered my movements enough that it has not happened again.

Definitely happy with this watch.
