Hello fellows,
I just wanted to share my impressions about the Ecozilla that I finally got. The price is really affordable for me, respectively it's a gem watch. I don't even know if they are Citizen reps, because the brand is quite accessible overall...
I had my eye on an oversized watch for a long time. but as the trends of the previous years were in favor of more modest watches, I didn't seem to have enough courage to buy them. but I took it anyway.
I know that many will consider it too overbuilt, but I see and feel it as charismatic
DD So the first thing I would like you to know about this muscular beauty is that it feels extremely solid and impressively firm. if someone is looking for such experiences, feel free to consider this baby...
The watch is big, and it looks big... I say this because some big watches can look modest due to certain design tricks. in fact, this one is really massive, without any trick. It is 48mm in diameter and 18.6mm in height... I know it sounds huge, that's what I thought at first. But I want to remind you that I wanted an oversized "amigo"
. Despite the size, it feels very secure on the wrist. I think the security feeling that it provides is its main selling point... it's lug-less, and that's one of the most essential elements drawing back its proportions. Also, it's 9 o'clock destro, which means the screw-down crown will never dig the hand behind it.
the horizontal brushing on the outer parts of the case looks very good, I don't feel them textured at all, they are very smooth to the touch. The upper ring with rugged diamond plate knurling is very well executed. I didn't expect it if I'm honest. I thought the pictures on the internet were retouched...
What I like most about the case is the unidirectional dive bezel. I would have liked the Arabic numerals to be a little smaller. They are oversized, and against the background of the already massive watch, they seem a bit too exaggerated. it wasn't supposed to be that big but in the end...
It seemed to me at first that it would be difficult for me to read the bezel of the watch. but it seems that Citizen solved this potential problem with an inner bezel ring in contrasting black and white with 60 min markings to ease legibility.
By the way, that's a true diver, being resistant up to 300 meters. I also have a vacation scheduled next week and I can't wait to test it from all points of view, including in deep water.
Technical: it runs on the in-house Eco-Drive B873 solar quartz movement. so far, since I've been wearing it for 2 months, the watch shows +/-15 sec for a month. That's how it should work, it doesn't register any errors so far.
I was somewhat reluctant about the yellow band. I don't really have anything to match it with if I look in my wardrobe. but I thought that if I still intend to go diving with this beauty, it would be good to see it well underwater. From a comfort perspective, the band isn't comfortable at all. It's stiff and it still bothers me. we'll see along the way, maybe I get used to it...
But the impression about the watch is good. the case is a safety monolith)))) I would like a fabric strap, but otherwise, it's a real mountain)
