This is a unique watch in terms of performance. As a watch, however, it's like any other watch; you respond not just to its technical properties, but to how well the whole thing hangs together, and how well the aesthetics express the technical soul (or chilly sentience, as the case may be) of the watch. On these criteria, and in terms of succeeding in being the kind of watch it strives to be, I think Citizen has hit a home run. In white gold, the Citizen Eco-Drive Caliber 0100 feels like nothing else I've ever seen on my wrist. It is as close to perfection as a wristwatch has ever come in terms of accuracy, and at first glance, it seems obvious that it's a watch whose clear and immediate appeal is to real dyed-in-the-wool precision mavens. But so much human effort and ingenuity went into it, and its precision is so much a result of a really artisanal approach, that I think it has much to offer to the open-minded lover of high end mechanical horology as well.
