I bought the same watch from COSTO almost 2 years ago, great watch! My favorite still is my old Seiko world City Watch (purchased on my first HKG layover 15 years ago) . Also have a Torgeon T1 the wife gave me for a Christmas gift, but too big to wear on a trip. Besides, I don't to wear it consistently to remind myself that as an airline pilot I have a small schwanz

citizen def makes the best rugged and trouble free watches in the quartz realm.

I like many of the analog GMT watches with a 24 hour bezel. They're simple to use and no button pushing to take your brain out of the loop. When you twist a dial, it makes you think a little bit as to how much. Once set, then this part of your brain can be switched off.

My favorite (not exactly trouble-free at over 40 years old) But I am a nostalgic fool....
