To me at least the Citizen Garrison series are about the most readable watch series currently available from any maker. Other than dial and markings colors, which are reversed, they pretty much follow the guidelines for railroad pocket watches that were current requirements up to circa WW2 The below pictured model, in Titanium with a sapphire crystal, is due for delivery this afternoon. I personally prefer both DOW and date indications. What is your nominee for most readable current…

I just spotted this on Amazon. Not sure about having it myself but to me it looks like some of the watches in a famous Salvador Dali painting, "Persistence Of Memory". Miyota 8215 movement per the Amazon listing. Certainly unusual.

Looking at the forum asking members to show their dive watches made me wonder what should be the criteria to call a watch a dive watch or a military watch? Some shown in the thread are to me pseudo dive watches. Lige Foxbox makes numerous look alike clones for Seiko and Citizen dive watches but they are all apparently rated for 5 ATM water resistance. To me this is the rating for a watch that might survive wearing in the rain, cold showering or surface swimming maximum. Certainly not a…

Anyone know anything about these under $200 dive watches with their claimed 1000 meters rating? They are large watches at 45mm diameter and 14m thick and include a claimed automatic helium release valve at the 9:00 position on the case. Back marking is per ISO 6425 but with no mixed gas diving compatibility statement. NH35 movement claimed and very good lume for the price. Comments from anyone with knowledge or experience with them would be appreciated.
