I've been looking for this colour for a while now. After trying to haggle at my local shop, the closest I got was $700. The white dial was on special for $499 recently, but I haven't seen a 'domestic' authorised seller go below that price. It goes well with the $25 sign-up bonus.
Hope this helps someone on their watch journey.
Thanks - done :)
It's been lower. Was on amazing for $4 something just few weeks ago.
It was from Amazon Germany and not local stock with 5 year warranty. Happy to pay $100 more for peace of mind.
It's a watch cuz. It'll be covered under warranty. Pretty sure it's a global warranty.
@itsmoe: I never said Amazon Germany wouldn't give you a warranty on the watch. Importing it gets you 2 years, but buying from an authorised Australian retailer gets you 5. It's totally up to you if those extra 3 years are worth it.
Wow four dollars would be an awesome bargain!!!
I've seen it for $499 or something.
Either way they are struggling to sell these and the Series 8.
Yeh not a big fan of the integrated bracelet and I own a PRX which I don't like that much.
Nice…need it in a Panda black n' white though.
Seiko speedtimer is a better choice for most.
Not sure I like the blotchy/grainy dials on these and Seiko solar is better.
… Seiko solar is better.
How so? Citizen are often considered the gold standard in solar-powered watches. You’re hard-pressed to see evidence (if any) of the solar collectors, whereas on a Speedtimer they can be seen behind the chrono dials when you look. Plus, Citizen keep managing to squeeze more power, and therefore running time, into the rechargeable cells.
Just personal observations. A lot of my Eco-drives do the half speed (2 sec) ticking or stop altogether when they don't receive any sun. None of my Seikos do that.
There's no reality where Seiko solar is better than Ecodrive imo.
@G-Shock: I have a 7 year old Super Titanium Ecodrive I kept in a drawer for 2+ years. Took it out, put it on, it started up and it's been in rotation since. A friend has a couple of Ecodrives that he keeps on a shaded windowsill, that are on the same capacitors as they were 21 years ago. Maybe these are outliers, but I've had other stellar runs too. I tend to buy them for people that don't know about watches.
Edit: In any case, good to have two good options. I have no issues with Seiko, I like their Urushi dials.
Hey OP, you need to put the seller's name into the title.
Otherwise, it's a good deal if you want one of these. I'm not into integrated bracelets but this is probably one that I'd actually wear.
