Is it a good choice for everyday one watch collection?

Citizen also offers great Super Titanium Eco-Drive (Coated Titanium and Solar powered in fancy words) watches that'll do the same thing but with more attention to detail. Also opens the window for more design options to find a watch of your liking.

I wore a version of this as my only watch for over 10 years. It finally got retired when the crystal got cracked kayaking and I couldn't get anyone to repair it. Even so, it still worked, and I bet if I put it in the sun now it would start up again. Awesome travel watch with the dual time, alarms etc.

Im sorry for your watch, May I ask how it got cracked and I it really that bad to not service?

Not sure - likely smacked against something, I never babied it. I couldn't find a repairer for less than the price of a new one.

Yikes, $120+ for a repair? I wish you luck finding a fair repairer.

Yes. I owned one and it’s excellent.

This is the watch I wear the most. It’s also the most justifiable one in the collection.

Superb, glad you love your watch. Hope it's the same for me 🤞🏻.

watches are kinda like getting bit by a vampire and you turn into one....but don't know it right away.

I got a white PRX quartz as my one watch collection in July right after I graduated my masters degree. It’s doable to hold just to one watch but if you like them and follow the phenomenon, the hype and design or specs of newer releases will lure you in. The watch you chose ticks all the specs boxes for me but I don’t find the design that interesting so I think a prettier watch would make me expand my one watch collection to two…
