That ring around the bezel is removable...But I'm asking myself, what's the purpose?

[promalefish]

It is defintely a best value for money diver you can get today, once you get used to it's dimensions, and it is also a very impressive and appealing. Has anyone noticed that, at twelve o'clock, the lume marker is sligtly out of position, maybe a quarter of a milimeter to the right? This is even more noticeable in the SS version

Always enjoy your reviews...but how can you review a dive watch, especially the 'zilla, without mentioning that beautiful blue lume?

[fleetingdays]

Excellent review.

I purchase the same watch about 2 months ago, and last night it stopped working. I tried placing the watch under light thinking the watch needed to be recharge. I think i may have to send this watch in for a repair.. I am just disappointed, the watch starting acting up after 2 months. Is there any i can try before sending the watch in for repair.

I just returned my breitling with rubber strap, and went back to my ss eco zilla. I just couldnt not justify 3000 for a dive watch that looked very much like my eco zilla and was no more accurate. I think i payed 260.00 for the zilla, how could you go wrong.

The reason for the "knurled" bezel is so you can take the rotating bezel off to clean. There is a O-ring under the ratcheting bezel. If you do dive in this watch you need to clean under the bezel so the salt and sand will not hurt the watch or the O-ring.

Good choice. The Swiss are expensive for that level of watch. Citizen is a real good value and in these hard times that is what we all want... VALUE.

Best wishes, Salmo

I knew thermally regulated quartz movements were good to 15 seconds a year (and the chronomasters to 5), but I didn't know all citizen quartz movements were that accurate. That's pretty amazing. I'm picking up a Calibre AP1000 moon phase in a little while.
