Review: The eco-zilla, boy oh boy is this thing a chunk! - I received my watch today. First and foremost, its a 'watch'. A watch the size of a small planet, but nonetheless still just a watch. It has no chronometer on it, nor a barometer, nor even an altimeter. But you are not buying a Casio here, I suspect if you buy this watch you already decided that you aren't bothered about bells and whistles. It tells you the time and date, glows like a neutron star in the dark, and doubles up as a blunt-force object if you are ever caught in a tricky spot against some big lads sporting tattoos and steel cap boots. You can also wear it in a cat5 hurricane and not worry about it failing on you. Its a tool watch, and it serves that purpose in droves. Plus it looks DAMN good. Its a watch that serves as ego-food for those who want everyone ELSE to know what they are wearing. This will just keep going, and going, and ... well, you get the point. And you can dive with it, it has ISO certified water resistance down to 300m/1000ft. The extension strap for wearing the watch over a dive suit, or a big thick Shetland wool jumper, is a welcome addition. Packaging is nice, the black box with silver trim instantly tells you you bought a watch that your neighbour never even realised existed, let alone might be sitting on his mantelpiece. This is an eco-drive, so works on both indoor and outdoor light. It supposedly has a 180 day reserve when full, so shouldn't ever run out of juice with normal use. I suspect this might just be the last watch I will 'need' for quite some time. Desire is another matter, but I wont have a material need for a working watch because I suspect this will be on my wrist in 10yrs time still going like a beast. The date is a little small, but that seems to be the trend in dive watches. If I need the date its on my smartphone or the TV guide, so its not a dealbreaker at all. Its not so small that you cant see it with a little prolonged focus, or with reading glasses. There is talk of how uncomfortable the strap is. Myself, it seems fine. Not uncomfortable at all. No more than any other rubber strapped watch I have. I will probably get the suppaparts or citi adaptors, in case I decide a NATO strap is the way to go in the future. Right now im blissed out that it is on my wrist in person, a big smile on my face. This watch is no joke, its a total monster. A very worthwhile purchase. UPDATE- Three weeks in, this might just be the most accurate watch i've ever seen. I set it by BBCNews when I got it, and its not lost or gained a single second. Not ONE! Unbelievable. Every hour BBCNews hits the hour, and the EcoZilla matches it to the tick. Incredible watch, BUY! I doubt a £2000 watch would match it for accuracy
Review: Ecozilla, big heavy and incredibly well made. - I also bought a Rotary watch for similar money, both this and the Rotary are Dive watches, but this is far superior in terms of build quality and luminescents. It is a big watch, well huge, so not a dress watch as it's thick and heavy and the strap is very stiff, but it's actually very comfortable to wear (and I don't have big wrists). This watch is a bit of a collector's piece, as well as a fantastic watch to wear, and at circa £230, it's a really good price. It came well packaged in a scuba tank "box" and it is a watch you'll love to own.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Received the watch , great product. But why isnt the watch container different from the one advertised ??**
A: Mine was just the usual Citizen box. The images show old packaging.

**Q: Is this watch brand new and does it come in original citizen packaging with paperwork etc**
A: I bought this watch a few months ago from Amazon, it arrived in a very attractive, but completely useless, scuba diving tank shaped box with the relevant papers. It's definitely a big watch, but I am absolutely delighted with it.

**Q: Can you change the strap?**
A: well - its a brilliant strap - I swim in the sea a lot and this strap takes whatever gets thrown at it and still looks box fresh. ditto the watch. but I guess any reasonably competent real watch store (ie not apple watch store) could do this although I expect it would cost if you were asking them to change a strap that you had purchased elsewhere

**Q: ls this watch made in Japan ?**
A: Yes and no, some where made on Japan and some where made in Singapore if I'm not mistaken.....still a very good watch the ecozilla, becoming s bit rare now

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ecozilla, big heavy and incredibly well made.
*by C***M on 27 June 2019*

I also bought a Rotary watch for similar money, both this and the Rotary are Dive watches, but this is far superior in terms of build quality and luminescents. It is a big watch, well huge, so not a dress watch as it's thick and heavy and the strap is very stiff, but it's actually very comfortable to wear (and I don't have big wrists). This watch is a bit of a collector's piece, as well as a fantastic watch to wear, and at circa £230, it's a really good price.
