They don't sell those anymore. Home Tree burned down.

I like. Eco-drive was my gateway watch. Perpetual calendar is nice to have, just wear watch routinely or keep exposed to a light source so the internal battery doesn't get drained or it defeats the purpose of perpetual.

You're not going to use the chronograph much.

I would get a black rubber strap with deployant clasp if you ever see yourself breaking a sweat while wearing it or if you want a more sporty look.

Biggest downside and one reason I moved to automatics is the lack of a sapphire crystal dome option. Glass on my Citizen collected scratches way too easily. Or maybe I'm just clumsy.

Yeah. I had to replace the glass on my Calibre a few years ago because I tapped it with my belt buckle as I was getting out of truck and it shattered

If you want a chrono, gotta go with the Daytona.

I wasted much money on many cheap watches that end up in a drawer for one reason another so I'll offer this advice:

1: Insist on a sapphire crystal over mineral glass (this, alone puts you into the $250+ range)

2: get an automatic movement and don't buy a quartz

3: a Seiko that meets the above criteria is your best bang-for-the buck

Yes. I have a few Seiko and citizen watches I wear as well. I like the solar powered watch. I have the box - I'd be willing to sale it to you.
