Citizen Men's BM8430-59E Eco-Drive WR100 Sport Watch

I am a very picky person, and originally i wanted an Omega watch that looked great, but the price tag was $3,000. I did a lot of research before i found another watch that i liked in the price range i could afford.

I found this watch in a jewelry store and came home and purchased it on Amazon for about half the price. It is a great watch for what I need it for and for the price. I wear it with business casual wear and even with jeans. It looks great and so far has held up great. Overall a great watch for the price.
