I've had a couple Ecozilla and a couple Autozilla pieces over the years, get rid of them and buy again a year later and dump again!!! Put the watch on Suppa Adapters (a must) and your strap option are limitless! Great job Bruce on the review..
If I had larger wrists I would have owned one of these back when I was actively diving. That said, sport divers are not supposed to dive below 120 feet. 200M is more than adequate as far as WR resistance ones. The night dive capability is what would have attracted me to this watch. Nice review Bruce!
I bought mine used from a co-worker 10 years ago for $100 and wear it everyday... The rubber straps started showing cracks a week ago, so I spent $60 for original citizen rubber straps and it came in today...Amazon has this watch for $320 new. I love it.
I bought mine for $120 but had to drive a two hour round trip to get it. Very well worth it and more. I woulda paid more. It’s a hefty watch. Nice looking watch. I love it. Great review too 👍
I was looking for a watch in the Mall a while ago suddenly I passed by citizen It's like screaming my name and saying heyyyyy BUY me! This watch is a beauty.
Stunning watch, unable to wear mine everyday as I kept smacking it off door frames etc so I sold it, bit regretful now though, I know it's not meant for everyday wear but as I'm not a diver sold it to someone who would have a use for it, beast of a watch 👍
I got this on Ebay for $204.00 with free shipping.....brand new!,I was like what?,so I bought it!,its well worth the money...the most heavy duty badass watch I've owned!,don't need a battery either...its solar powered once fully charged it can go 6 months with out light!,great deal!
The citizen Eco Drive watch is so cool. The original rubber strap can be replaced, and the 24mm lug adapter can be used to match the 24mm metal band, which is more comfortable and beautiful to wear.🤣🤣
I like the exclamation, it reminds me of my car. German cars really crack me up, I service mine every 500mi so sometimes the service computer thinks I’m neglecting it and I get a “SERVICE NOW!” displayed. I could see a German breaking out in a sweat seeing that message not daring to defy it. I surprised it didn’t come equipped with a klaxon just Incase someone pushed it a few mi beyond the service interval.
Ecozilla was my first love ten years ago. But there is a fly in the ointment: That strap creates wrist fatigue. My least comfortable strap to wear. In contrast, the strap on the Tuna 033 and 035 models is so comfy.
@@redastrachan8978 I remember reading that many years ago. If I still had the Zilla, I would definitely do that. However, the new models don't have same straps.
I owned one of the original Seiko monsters back in circa 2002. Not in same league imo as the EcoZilla. EcoZilla is a true competitor to the Seiko Tuna 300m. Only reason people compare it to the Monster is due to price points. Watch snobs will disagree, but it is what it is...
Bruce - all eco drive watches from Citizen have that warning message at the back of course not with the exclamation mark though...the idea being there is no need for anyone to open the watch other Citizen if there ever is a problem with the watch....
If I didn’t have small wrists, one of these would definitely be in my collection! I am not generally a fan of blue lime, but that blue lume is so well done, I would make an exception and get it anyway. Great review of a very cool watch Bruce. Keep on keepin’ on!
They have a version with auto movement nicknamed autozilla that can do 1000m, I guess it's just a marketing gimmick to not dwarf the more superior and expensive version of their own watch.
I have the SS and the titanium version love them both, but one day a friend of mine says that my watch looks like an ashtray... I still love them both but every time i look at it i see an ashtray now!?!? And a little side note if there is an RN stamped on the case-back you will be able to remove the bezel to clean under it.
WAY over-kill bezel and casing! As someone said, 300 meter is really disappointing, looking at the watch. It ought to be....like 1000 meter! Ought to be. By the way, compare to Seiko Lume, which one is brighter and last longer? By the way, it looks like a watch that a huge body builder might wear. good review. 7 out of 10! PS: However, love the look of back casing.
If you hadn't already named it I'd suggest Quasimodo because it's so monstrous! Built for a purpose and no excuses about its looks. How do you beat that price? Do you review chronos? Looking to add one to my stable as I already have a diver, 70's vintage Caravelle (Bulova) "Devil diver" - good to 666 feet.
Ugly in the video but when this thing is in your hands it's super cool. It's even cooler on a bracelet. There is a company that makes bracelets for these.
I will congratulate the first person I see wearing this watch in person. After the congratulations I'll ask them about their experience of being in a decompression chamber. I bought this watch once because it was a really good deal and I like to swim underwater in 10 foot deep pools. After owning it for 5 minutes I had to sell it. I wasn't deserving of this fine watch. The person I bought it from, bought it new, and had just come back from vacation in the US Virgin Islands.
I bought mine used for $100 in 2010. I still wear it everyday. Only thing I changed were the straps, since the old ones (rubber? Or polyurethane material?) started cracking. Pretty reliable if you ask me.
For diving in shallow Waters a divers computer is overkill these watches still do the job I use mines last year while on vacation. That's like saying the casual trap and skeet shooter needs a $40,000 shotgun not any pump will do
I am a Divemaster and started diving in 2002. Navy dive tables are still part of getting certified BUT 90% of divers do not plan their dives in advance as a diving computer solves many inconveniences. Define shallow waters and define overkill. Specially on vacations, using a diving table is trickier as one must be familiar with the diving site in order to be able to program the diving profile safely. Any entry level diving computer will cost much less than this watch. I don’t kill animals so I have no clue about what a skeet shooter is... closing the fact that you decided to use your watch to dive doesn’t represent the majority of people. I’ve logged more than 5000 dives and very rarely a customer will wear only a normal watch. I dare you to try to use your watch in an unknown diving site and try to follow your preset diving profile. The computer’s algorithm is constantly adapting to the characteristics of your dive, in other words, much, much safer.
@@eldiabolico3750 better hope that battery never fails 😐😐... Just saying. And my trusted Seiko is great for measuring distance out from the boat I'm good with that. Which leads me to the question.....why are you watch a video about a dive watch ........😉 FYI trap and skeet shooting is not hunting animals 😊
Phillip Pugh I love dive watches. I own a Sub, the new Seamaster 300 and a Pelagos. But obviously I have better tools for diving. Batteries don’t run off like that, besides the meter, these watches are also serviced regularly. No failures.

Get the Suppaparts titanium bracelet and the strap adapters. You'll be able to swap straps and have a "different watch" every day.
@@newgunguy4176 I just bought this watch and is amazing. Where can I get the adapter and the titanium bracelet?
@@jaimejimenez7082 Suppaparts.
its now at 400 usd too expensive
I usually don't like divers, but that one has something screaming at you: "Professional Super Tool", that actually draws my attention. I like it"
I bought mine for $120 but had to drive a two hour round trip to get it. Very well worth it and more. I woulda paid more. It’s a hefty watch. Nice looking watch. I love it. Great review too 👍
were did you pay $120 thats a great deal

Another great review!And you are absolutely right,Bruce,this is really a tool watch.Cheers

I own 2 perpetual calendar watches from the Signature Collection...love Citizen.
It's that massive it can affect tides.
Blue monster vid!!! Oh, and the eco-zilla is alright.
In my younger days I was a PADI Divemaster so I tend to prefer dive watches. I have several Citizen divers including this one and I love them all.
Citizen should do this watch in Bronze. It would sell out faster than you could say "I want one".....
Once the blue monster showed up that’s all I could think about. Haha
Ikr wheres my wallet
Random Rob I don't like sorry
Excellent dive watch
I watch so damn good that I have this version AND the all steel version!
Dont go swimming with it cos it will drag you down!!
I love my ecozilla..Really like a tank
I got this on Ebay for $204.00 with free shipping.....brand new!,I was like what?,so I bought it!,its well worth the money...the most heavy duty badass watch I've owned!,don't need a battery either...its solar powered once fully charged it can go 6 months with out light!,great deal!

lol I can totally see it
Every 500 miles? As in once a month?
It is a Beast! Looks Cool maybe too Cool for my Old A&#! Lol
The size is wearable because it doesn't have lugs but the thickness is unbearable .
Ecozilla was my first love ten years ago. But there is a fly in the ointment: That strap creates wrist fatigue. My least comfortable strap to wear. In contrast, the strap on the Tuna 033 and 035 models is so comfy.
Place the strap in a cup, about your wrist size, and pour in boiling water for a few minutes. It will become much more pliable/comfortable.
@@redastrachan8978 I remember reading that many years ago. If I still had the Zilla, I would definitely do that. However, the new models don't have same straps.
Nice review of a very interesting watch.

As an avid snorkler, I apporve this watch.
I am going to look at a preowned example of this watch tomorrow morning!
Good tuxedo watch
Probably the best sturdy watch I ever have looks nice and I am 7.5 wrist and doesn't look so big because no lugs so many compliments about my watch
I like it. I might purchase one.
So, a watch for lefties. It's about time. It looks like a tuna can.
Bruce - all eco drive watches from Citizen have that warning message at the back of course not with the exclamation mark though...the idea being there is no need for anyone to open the watch other Citizen if there ever is a problem with the watch....
Nice ashtray
I love this watch but the notches in the bezel kinda makes it look like an ash tray
That's a bonus. You can rest your Ciggy on there.
If I didn’t have small wrists, one of these would definitely be in my collection! I am not generally a fan of blue lime, but that blue lume is so well done, I would make an exception and get it anyway. Great review of a very cool watch Bruce. Keep on keepin’ on!
Thanks bro. I don't think I could wear this for anything other than diving/snorkeling. Its so huge
I own one and loom is looks green to me than blue. ⌚ 🤔
Very cool, but very chunky
Very
This is a great looking watch! Just too big for many people :)
No, it's not!!!! Lol!
It’s just too flimsy feeling until bracelet adapters and a heavy bracelet are added. 😂
For a watch that is so bulky I think 300m water resistance is kinda disappointing...
Your skull will crack before this watch does at 300m 😑
Japanese always under promise and over deliver.
@@mrbacchus6127 That is very true.
It looks like a 1000m plus watch. The crystal diameter looks disproportionately small in diameter too.
They have a version with auto movement nicknamed autozilla that can do 1000m, I guess it's just a marketing gimmick to not dwarf the more superior and expensive version of their own watch.
This a big watch just to be only 300m water resistant
Definitely a watch I hit someone on the face if they try to rob me
Surprisingly wearable and just very cool. Any chance you may get a Scurfa watch in one day?
I'm happy with my ecczilla. you have to get the lugs for it and put it on leather. I'ts like hauling around a big slug of steel on your wrist.
I have the SS and the titanium version love them both, but one day a friend of mine says that my watch looks like an ashtray... I still love them both but every time i look at it i see an ashtray now!?!? And a little side note if there is an RN stamped on the case-back you will be able to remove the bezel to clean under it.

Its like having a car rim on ur wrist!
It is robust and took his seat at the bestofbest diver watch class with its economic technological and useful skills
Bruce... Willis =)

How is the bezel action ? Is it loose or solid? Does it have mechanical feel in its clicks ?
How much did u guys watching pay for yours?
Bruce, whilst I like it, it is FUGLY. It would have been nice to see it side by side, a Tuna, for scale.
If you hadn't already named it I'd suggest Quasimodo because it's so monstrous! Built for a purpose and no excuses about its looks. How do you beat that price? Do you review chronos? Looking to add one to my stable as I already have a diver, 70's vintage Caravelle (Bulova) "Devil diver" - good to 666 feet.
nice video thanks for bringing this one to us. Does the second hand hit all the marks or is it seiko style lol?

👌👍

is this watch reliable?
Yes as long as you don’t get eating by a shark.

lol Monster and Coral Sumo compare vid coming up Saturday
@@BruceWilliams can't wait to see it bring it , that green monster is on my short list
Portmanteau 2:30

Great review but that's hideous.
Haha citizen should just leave the diver stuff Seiko
