Which Ti watch?

[JaGWiRE]

Looks like I'm egtting obsessed with TI.
About half a year ago I was going to get the chrono classic, but there was no TI version, and I wasn't prepared to spend that muc on a watch (it's actually not a lot, but to me it'd be the best watch I have ever bought, and I think most would agree at that dollar poin your getting something half decent.)
I have small wrists, and this would be EDC. I wish I could wear like a 45mm face, but I think best fit is between 38 and 40mm.

Both look like they would preform similarily, just different designs. Let me know wha you think .

Citizen Eco-Drive Titanium. They're damn good. I've had mine for over 9 years and it's still going strong.

Linky to what model you recommend? They all seem big and clunky though from the google result.
Not sure I want a screen.
Edit : Oh I see they have diferent ones. Still, I really like the design of these 2 swiss army watches.

 

[ErickThakrar]

There are a ton of different models, but the difference is really in the build quality. I've had mine like I said, for over 9 years. I've not ONCE had to have it serviced. No battery changes are needed. They simply last a ridiculously long time.

I like the black face on the chrono classic.

Crazy, I like it, but too big, and never heard of the company.
I'm edging towards the chrono classic.

Remind me and I'll take and post a pic of my Citizen Duratect family. Unless you get a hardened form of titanium, its a waste of money. It'll scratch like crazy, much worse than a stainless watch. Seiko, among others, has a version called Brightz.

Titanium mean's lightweight though, and no allergy problems for sure though. Plus, titanium just looks so damn cool!
What metal is cooler then titanium? Cmon!

 

[ErickThakrar]

The one I have was purchased before Citizen came out with their Duratect line. Yes, it's scratched, but no more than a similar steel watch would. And it's easy enough to fix if it does get scratched. I wouldn't worry about it.

I also like titanium watches and wear a Revue Thommen Chronograph Airspeed, it's only 38mm in diameter and only about 10mm ? thick, very light and very comfortable to wear all day. It also comes with a scratch resistant Sapphire Crystal lens and is Swiss Made. It has a matt finish so scratches won't show up as much, Do a search on that auction site for similar prices you are looking at.

I also like the Black Face Chrono Classic

Nice watch, I love it! Not sure where to get it though locally, I'd like to try a watch on before buying it to see how it looks. I'm in Canada, which is usually a problem, lol..
If a site was selling one and taking paypal I'd consider it.
Never heard of the brand though.

 

[Planterz]

I'm hoping my IRS refund comes at the same time this watch ships.

never heard of the company.

Well, you've heard of Luminox, right? Well, Trasers are made in the same factory. Both their SEAL style watches are pratically identical to each other. And of course, they both use the awesome tritium (H3) vials that glow constantly (no need to charge) for over 10 years.

Titanium and tritium. What could be cooler?

Never heard of Luminox either. I really like that watch though, and if it was available in canada for $600-700 CDN I would seriously consider it.
That watch you linked me to looks huge, not really my taste, but nice watch regardless.

I have a Citizen Eco-Drive Titanium Skyhawk Blue angels edition, its a very nice watch, I would look into Citizen's, they have a good selection of Titanium watches and with eco-drive you dont hafta worry about a battery and the are supposed to keep time for over a year if stored in the dark, all hand movement stops until it gets light. Only thing I wish my watch had is tritium.

Big watch though. All the citizens seem clunky, that's the problem. I like simplicity while still having maybe a tachymeter (probably useless) and chronograph.

 

[thesurefire]

I've been EDC a Seiko for a number of years know and I'm impressed.
Look for the old style chronograph for some smoking deals (I've seen them as low as 100 dollars) or the new style for a more modern look (retails around 400) my only complaint is there is no tritium. I believe the bezel diameter is around 38mm

 

[Kilovolt]

This is my third and latest Citizen titanium watch. It is neither big nor clunky, have a look at it:

 

[JaGWiRE]

Kilovolt, what price and model? That one is beautiful, like the chrono classic. Looks like about 40mm watch face perhaps.
Not sure where to find that here though. Citizen is a pretty common brand though.

 

[Kilovolt]

This is type and price (in Italy, including the usual 20% VAT):

I believe that if you look in your local Google for "Citizen AS4030-59E" you should find out where to get it and for how much.

I've currently got a Tissot T-Touch Titanium, and a Ti Seiko Kinetic. The Seiko is smaller than the Tissot (less electronics to cram in there), but the Tissot has loads of extra features
