How is this better than a satellite connected watch for a lot less money?
I get a solar powered quartz watch for $300... but not for $16,000!

I'm not interested in Citizen

Or moral fluidity Nothing against Jack, but if you search this you will see basically an infomercial by/for Citizen who originally wrote ads themselves for Hodinkee, provides tech support, art, watches etc and likely Hodinkee will sell the watches too. Th...
Wow, I wasn't aware of this ad...

Now even a genuine passion for watches, that many decent men and women around the world should feel proud to share, is exploited by some brand and "tied down" into moral confusion and political correctness... Let me join you here, in this beautiful year 2...

I agree there is some impressive technology there. Also didn't realize that that particular version (for $16,000) was gold. Might be worth the high prices (various versions at different price points) if ultimate accuracy is your goal. Asthetically I feel ...
I would rather spend money on a G-Shock.

This watch doesn't have an alluring dial when compared to an Eichi. If it has a beautiful dial and half the price, I will consider.
I read the article and WOW

What a technical marvel and achievement. Like wearing an atomic clock on your wrist. Kudos to Citizen 👍. I would definitely add this to my collection.
True! (nt)

Totally absurd pricing... Zzzzzzzz, I could not be less interested in ANY quartz watch.... Design is clean, very nice, but above 500-600? NEVVVVER.
Like many here, I will never ever consider it, especially at that price.

Technically, obviously it is interesting and it is an achievement. However, i don't get its purpose as a wrist watch. If one loves mechanical systems, then one would get a mechanical watch. If one loves accuracy and one lives in the covered zone, then one...
Yea I would

But they will only be making 100 of this, so Citizen is aware of the limited appeal. Cost is also partially justified by the fact it's a precious metal. The titanium version is produced in greater number and less than half price.
No [nt]
