Movement: Citizen Miyota 21 Jewel Caliber 8215 Automatic (no hacking feature but with handwinding)
Keeps excellent time (Only +5 per day! I was shocked!)

Why:
This is an obvious choice for those who have dealt with the company before and at $239 it's not bad on the wallet for what you get!
It's water resistant to 200m and is of exceptional quality.
- Sapphire crystal
- Great quality bracelet
- Great unidirectional bezel
- Super Luminova
- 316-L surgical stainless steel
Only downside is that there is no dive extension.

Why?: A great watch at just under $100 delivered on a thick stainless bracelet. Has day date complication and is quite accurate from my experience. Wet ink blue dial, good lume, red-tipped sweep, screw down crown and pusher, 200M.
