Citizen Watches Men's Chandler BM6838-09X

Product Information

First, the dial. The Sea Urchin is appealing, but that’s just about it. You won’t find any design in its dial nor in its indices that stand out. If we bring other watch movements into the picture, both brands have atomic timekeeping watches (Astron & Satelite Wave Tech) and solar-powered watches. However, between the two, Citizen is a mile ahead of Seiko. When it comes to Seiko vs. Citizen in the luxury watch category, it’s a lot more difficult to compare either one from the other.

That being said, the quality Citizen provided through their solar-powered watches is unmatched. In fact, 90% of Citizen’s watches use Eco-drive technology. It’s compact—especially compared to the Promaster Diver and Nighthawk—coming in at 37mm. I’ve actually come to prefer smaller watches under 40mm, and it seems the trend of larger watches is coming to a close. The biggest difference between Seiko Solar and Eco-Drive is that Citizen watches are well-known for their solar-powered designs.

While the inspiration of the military watch is undeniable, Citizen managed to infuse the Chandler with a more chic and casual appeal. There is no definite winner between the two watches when it comes to a battle between two of the most prominent Japanese brands in history.

There’s a rotating hand under the minute, hour, and second hands with a white plane and a yellow plane spinning around. If the white plane is crossing over the 24-hour dial, it’s the AM, and if the yellow plane is passing over, it’s PM. Hіgh quality sapphire сrуѕtаl glass wіth 9H hardness presents ѕuреrіоr рrоtесtіvе соvеr frоm ѕсrаtсhеѕ іn уоur аmаzіng day tо dау life. Citizen is the clear winner of this matchup when it comes to longevity and accuracy. In the other corner, Seiko trumps Citizen in its appeal and design. Citizen watches are unique in that they’re a vertically integrated company, meaning they make every part of their watches in-house. Aesthetically, it pulls off the military look quite well. My one complaint is that it’s a bit predictable. That is to say, it doesn’t wow me with a new detail every time I look at it. It does what it does and nothing more. This is fairly typical for the price point.

Final Thoughts

You can expect an accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month, meaning you will only have to reset the time a couple of times per year. That’s really good!

If you prefer a smaller case diameter or prefer a cleaner dial with minimal text, Citizen is a good option. The silver-tone 42mm case helps give this watch a proper balance regarding its aesthetics, while the Hardlex crystal further enhances the durability with its scratch-resistant construction. The build of the case also shows the Seiko 5 Sports a solid 100-meter water resistance. Certain models, like the Promaster series, have at least 200m of water resistance, and the least expensive I tried still had 100m, which is more than most people ever need Vostok-Europe Watches – Inspiring Designs, Impeccable Quality Comments Off on Vostok-Europe Watches – Inspiring Designs, Impeccable QualityWhen it comes to features, the Chandler and Seiko 5 field watches are quite similar.

Before we dive too deeply into the chandler, let’s take a brief look at Citizen as a company. The happy occasion was just a few days away – my older sister Annette would be celebrating her fiftieth birthday this weekend. Annette was not one for grand celebrations but my brother and I decided to make her day special. The day was to be marked with a small party at her place with few friends and family. All the arrangements were complete but I had yet to get her a birthday gift.
