@kev Casio W-217H with the hourly chime signal activated.

I really appreciate that chime which is infuriatingly not available on Wear OS Android watches.

Also the buttons are very responsive and easy to activate. This plus-size update on the classic Casio F-91W gets everything right: all the simplicity and elegance but much easier for my Gen X eyes to read. Bonus: the back light is MUCH brighter too. 💡

Really liking the bracelet WITH diver's extension clasp -- extended & retracted 1-2 notches; later in the day collapsed it completely.

The stainless steel bracelet also feels "soft" & like the feeling. For one, the underside of the links is smooth & concave; for another, it has less friction than rubber straps.

Nice! After adding a "half"-link, while the wrist is shrunken do not need to extend the diver's extension anymore.

Bad! Bracelet pulls hair when moving the watch up|down the forearm. Looks like would need to keep the hair shorter around the region (or, keep the bracelet looser than I usually care to ... which do not see happening).

Chose to trim the hair.

After wearing the watch earlier & now, bracelet feels somewhat tight & need to extend the extension however little bit; 🤔will add the half-link on the outside bracelet.

Now pi'tures ...
- _action shot_ of "Diver's extension" being extended <image>;

- glowy-glowy dial (put extra work for that🔦 ; else it would have been shades of dull greys+blues) <image>;

- varying reflections <images>.

Clasp, with "diver's extension", of brushed stainless steel bracelet shown resting on a pale forearm. The extension has been extended by 3-4, out of 7, notches. The clasp has a flip lock with "CITIZEN" stamped on it.
A low light, high contrast color photo of a watch, on hairy & severely cut-off pale arm, showing glowing hour markers in light blue, and hour hand, minute hand, counter balance & lollipop on the second hand glowing in light green. Time is 12:10:09. The 12 o'clock is in shape of round-y-triangle; the odd hour marker are small triangles; rest of even hour markers seem to be semi-circle. The dial looks dark grey. "CIT" & "N" of the make are visible at 12 o'clock. Stylized up arrow and text of "Eco-Drive" & something in dark color are at 6 o'clock. The bezel has pip glowing light green. Minutes are marked, seemingly in light grey, in Arabic numerals at 10-minute interval, besides the 60-minute. On the inside edge each minute is marked. Bezel background looks some shade of dark grey-blue. At every 5-minute interval on the bezel, stainless steel secants occupy the space. Case & bracelet are silver/grey.
A brushed stainless steel (appears grey) wristwatch on a bracelet is on black plastic, with head tilted down, on a synthetic beige sheet. The photo was taken to produce reflection large & strong enough to obscure the dial. Dial seems to have some shade of blue. The blue bezel has the pale-green pip surrounded by a red circle on the bezel is at 0:29 mark. Minutes 10-50 are listed at 10-minute interval. At 5-minute interval are stainless steel secants on the bezel as part of the bezel. Small rectangles mark the minutes from 0-20; all are in white except at 5-minute interval which are red. Time is around 9:55:10; date is illegible. Dial seems to have pale-green markers, for the 12 hours, surrounded by polished metal outline. 12 o’clock mark is a bulbous upside-down triangle with a triangular notch; rest of even hours are marked with semicircles; odd hours are marked with smoller triangles. Hour hand is about twice the width of the minute hand. It is visibly pale-green with what looks like white outline. Minute hand seems to have orange-red outline & is also visibly pale-green. Both have distinct arrow shapes at the ends. The second hand is white; has a circle at the counterbalance & a smaller one near the tip, both filled with luminescent paint.

Resized bracelet of a #CitizenWatch #BN0231_52L #Orca to remove 2.5 links on one side, 1 link on other side & a pair of pin+collar. It took only ~an hour & sacrifice of the SIM-extraction bit of iFixIt set.

Latter was own mistake for forgetting that the springbar tool[0] has a thin+strong enough pin to push out the pin of the bracelet🤦‍♂️

Earlier thought had lost a collar; found it now (just under the bed) :raised Simba:

#Citizen_Promaster #BJ7110_89E, #calCitizenB877 (c 2019) on Bonetto Cinturini 285 rubber strap (soon after replaced with a much more comfortable, easier & faster to fasten #Borealis_rubber_strap).
<image>

The case being titanium makes it much lighter than two other watches with stainless steel case. It came with titanium bracelet which cannot be adjusted without tools, so it is useless for me.

Somewhat noisy low light photo of Citizen BJ7110-89E (cal B877, c 2019) dive watch with matte black dial & luminescent main hands & hour indices which are glowing in light-mint color. Second-time-zone hand, with yellow hollow arrow at the end, has no luminescence. It can only be adjusted in full 1-hour increments. A 24-hour chapter ring is angled at ~85-65 degrees🤷🏽‍♂️. Hours with Arabic numerals are marked every 2-hour interval from "24" to "22"; in between are thin stick indices. Markers, except the "24" hour marker which is in light yellow, are in white. The watch with a black rubber strap rests on a red/beige flower motif seat cover. Time is 23:47:22. Date window has been obscured by the second-time-zone hand; only some portions of current & next date digits are visible. Tens place digit of the current date is 2; ones place digit could be 8 or 9. (Based on last modified date of the photo, current date is 28 that is about to turn over.) Time in second time zone is 05:47:22. The pip of the rotating bezel is at 9 o'clock position. The watch is on Bonetto Cinturini 285 rubber strap (at the time of the photo).

... A 4/4
When I had sent #CitizenWatch #AP0430_51L <image> to Citizen USA for service (to have the gaskets & rechargeable battery changed), I was informed that it did not have parts anymore; it could send back the watch as is, or I could buy one at half price with some exceptions. So that was how I got #BN0198_56H (Archive: web.archive.org/web/2020111204 ).

A wristwatch with blue dial in brushed & polished stainless steel is on dark stone. Time is 10:11:26; date is 15.Dial is blue with concentric circles. Non-numerical hour markers with polished metal outline are in shape of icicle-sticks. The 12 o'clock marker is in more of a ice-cream sandwich shape. The rectangular date window at 3 o'clock has a polished metal outline. There is no partial 3 o'clock marker. Both hour & second hands have polished metal outline; second hand is silver with a small arrow near the tip. Hour hand has a merged triangle with a circle divided in 3 parts as the end. Minute hand is in shape of a straight sword; when squinted just so, with a tail past the center looks like a boat oar. Hour markers & hands look off-white due to luminescent paint. A metallic circle connects all the hour markers. A 60-minutes or -second track in the same shade of blue runs at the end of the dial. At 12 o'clock seems to have applied "CITIZEN" & "Eco-Drive" text on 2 lines. At 6 o'clock is applied stylized up-arrow as "Promaster" logo & "WR 200" on 2 lines. Stainless steel rotating bezel has minutes engraved at 10 minute interval in Arabic numerals, filled with black paint? In between are 7 circles engraved & black color filled, 4th one is larger. Bezel "60" minute is at 19 minutes. It has screw-down crown with crown guards on the right hand side. It seems to have non-standard lugs with a notch. The center link is "U"-shaped & polished; outside links are brushed.

0- Do have one "automatic" mechanical watch ... another story.

1- Next was #CitizenWatch #EcoDrive #AP0430_51L bought c 1999. After ~19 years, changed to one -- Citizen #BN0198_56H -- with larger hands & dial so that could tell the time easily sans glasses.

Had a #TimexWatch Ironman watch, analog cum digital, with yellow accents c 1996-something. After could not have its battery replaced at mall|department shop(s) (not the place where I had bought it), have not looked back from preferring light-rechargeable watches[0,1].
