This watch is one of my favorites. Built like a tank, Eco- drive, Outstanding Lume. Simple modifications include the Suppa strap adapters and the Strap code mesh bracelet.
I made it a point last night to really test the Lume. I charged it at 10:30PM, and the time was easily readable at 6:00AM.
It's affordable too.
Some downsides: the OEM rubber strap did not fit my 8.5 inch wrist, and the case design reminds me of a soup pot, but it grows on you.
In reconsidering my collection, this is a keeper.

I adore my Zilla. It's like an ugly Mutt. At first I thought to myself, yikes. But it grew on me. I finally pulled the trigger and picked one up and after you adopt one, it suddenly looks good to you :)

I've always wanted to try one of the Ti ones. I'm not sure I'd be happy with the weight / balance on the wrist of a SS zilla. :)

The Ti is quite light and easy to wear, but I have tried on the SS as well and didn't find that bad at all either.

I have considered buying this for the past week. Still looking at other divers. I can get it from an AD with 5 year warranty for $211 after Mr Rebate. Someone offered to sell me theirs for $210 but for $1 more I could get a full warranty from Citizen.

Hi Ras... I'd do it...it has great Lume, it's about a solid of a piece you can find, and the Eco-drive is great.
However, it's not the most elegant case design, as previously mentioned.

I'm going out of state for a couple weeks and when I get back I am leaning towards odering it. It is so different I actually like the looks of it.

Really like mine. One hell of a strap too! Had this for a few years and still looks great.
