Yawn.

The blue and black versions are great. Simple and very approachable size and price.

If ever a watch cried out for a no date dial…. This would be a good one.

For the price, these are pretty solid pieces in my opinion.

They did the right thing and added useful information to the dial.

Love the textured black dial. Reminds me of my Breitling Blackbird but the Citizen texture appears to be more pronounced.

Looks like the clasp has ratchet micro-adjust.

Looks like a good Seiko alternative

The hands looks a little odd, but otherwise it's a great looking watch. Looks like they're already at Joma in the low to mid $200s, seems worth a shot. I'd probably go for black on rubber.

The overall look is nice right?! But the way they did the dials is
really cool too, with each color bringing a different feel to the
watch. And although each looks great, maybe the orange is my
favorite.

Oh, and Jeff, I am not sure if the hands are paying tribute to
a classic or not perhaps, so that might be why they have these
hands. But I read you, they look maybe too classy right?!

In any case, I can’t thank everyone enough for chiming in, and
giving your thoughts !!!

I think the original Challenge diver had that skeletonized mercedes hour hand, but not that arrow-type minute hand. Plus the minute hand could be a little longer. But honestly, for $200ish I could live with it. I've added it to my list of watches to consider when I get that itch!

You sure you don't need antibiotics for 'that itch'

Thanks so much for the insight Jeff. I sort of thought they were similar to
the classic, and now we know thanks to you.

By the way, I did not mean to tempt you with this one. I just was reporting on
it to everyone. But I am glad you like it so much.
