    What a beauty and great review. I've had the original version for a few years and one note: it has to be worn tight to keep from flopping around. Anyone who doesn't like their gear strapped-down will feel quite uncomfortable! (Note that suppaparts used to sell machined pieces that you could bolt into the case under the ring to create lugs if you want to do strap changes. Dunno if they're still in business, but a bonus add-on if you can get a set!) 👍

    • @dado380
      @dado380 Год назад +3

      Because Seiko said that Hardlex is on pair with Saffire(nebulose) while Citizen didn't try to invent hot water with their mineral.Keep in mind that Citizen pioneered Mineral glass and Solar drive and Titanium!!

    • @destrygriffith3972
      @destrygriffith3972 Год назад +1

      Didn't know that, thanks for the intel. Really: they helped invent the modern "mineral" crystal?
      Yeah, the Hardlex I've seen tested (I could dig up the vid, guy with a pick kit scratching) and it was not discernably harder than normal mineral. But the data I've seen online confirms that sapphire is indeed much more brittle (as harder things generally are).

  • @destrygriffith3972
    @destrygriffith3972 Год назад +1

    Just for you fellow super Diver Nerds out there: this tank is helium rated WITHOUT a release valve-it just holds itself together like a gentleman on a short flight (I suspect that's what the big giant bezel setup is all about: clamping that crystal down on).
    And speaking of that crystal and my suspicions: it is THICKKKK. In fact from all appearances online, Citizen used everything the same from their Autozilla 1000m... soooooo I'm pretty sure these divers are actually 1000m watches.
    Which if you've been watching that adorable couple at The Hydraulic Press Channel squeeze watches, you know it means they probably couldn't even scare this thing into submission-let alone destroy it-with their three-kilometer test chamber.

  • @yankeexpress
    @yankeexpress Год назад +4

    I like Citizen watches and own over a dozen of them….But in my experience Casio are much more robust and the Tough Solar works so far forever, whereas I have broken several Citizen and have had the Eco-Drive fail.

    • @destrygriffith3972
      @destrygriffith3972 Год назад

      Yeah personally I'm only in love with Cit because of function + style + cheap and I've fallen for their "serious diver" thang since i was one myself as a kid. They simply make the ultimate TOOL WATCH look imho.
      But if i wanted even better looking at 1.5-double the price, I'd go with Seiko Solar.
      But if I wanted just the functionality (and then some) at only 1/2-2/3 the price, obviously Casios are the no-brainers, hence the apparent preference for G-Shock among members of the modern military.

    great review . but the whole argument about sapphire being more shatter prone has been debunked over and over, sapphire is stronger end of story. harder to shatter , harder to scratch. as a matter of fact that last watch you shown the kraken has a sapphrie crystal and it is a pro divers watch.
    Reason for mineral over sapphire? cost. sapphrie is about 40 to 100 dollars more specially if its domed. and for huge companies like Citizen they messure cost at a large scale

    • @WatchChris
      @WatchChris  Год назад +3

    • @marvinberwart
      @marvinberwart Год назад +1

      While it is indeed more resistant, a saphire cristal cost is negligable in the grand scheme of things, ranging from 0.10 to 15$ by the piece, even much cheaper in bulk.
