Their output is certainly big hit or big miss at the moment.

High variance brand. At least they have 10,000 models. Some are bound to be good.

Want, really hope it's at least 52mm, 23.63mm tall (the sweet spot for me) and on a 20mm bracelet so I can rock it bond style in an 18mm NATO.

I can't get my head around solar and Kinetic movements. They both use a (toxic) rechargeable battery that will need replacing at some point. Why not just use a regular silver oxide battery and forgo the charging mechanism?

Funny my watchmaker and I was talking about this the other day. The cost for the replacing the parts on a Solar watch in 10 years will surpass the price of batteries for that same amount of time.

Why not just get yourself a watch that's delicate like a mechanical, but has throw away electronic parts too? It even comes with a silly power reserve on the dial!

I though Citizen solar lasted 20+ years so long as it's kept charged
