I had already been processed several brand watches from Citizen and other producers in the price segment up to 500. However, these watches have always been 'Mineral' glass that attracted magically within a short time scratches. But with this clock (bought in September 2013) nothing, no scratches on the glass. Minimal signs of wear on the bracelet, but I can live with. The blue phosphorescent marking paint looks great as well.
So for about 250-300 you get a mix of materials that you have to pay dearly in other watch manufacturers. Titanium bracelet / housing, sapphire were decisive for my purchase. Stainless Steel I would still take, but then the clock weighs about 50g more. A nice gimmick is the solar function with 210-day power reserve. My clock was unpacked, but jumped in immediately, as I have set it.
