Basically the title says it all. I picked up one of these brand new off eBay for $120 and I think this is a fantastic tool watch. I ended up with one for work as I’m in healthcare and didn’t want to gunk up my nicer GADA watch. It’s a great size for my slender wrist, easy to read and so far keeps great time! Yeah it’s an eco drive, not automatic but I mean for a watch I just can slip on and head to work I can’t think of a better model in ths price range. Definitely a firm recommendation from me for whatever that’s worth.

Like some others I wasn’t keen on the original strap but I picked up a few from CNS and I’m loving the single pass strap on it!

    Everybody needs a “quartz grab and go”.

    A GADA is about design, but a “quartz grab and go” is about simplicity.

    Citizen, Timex, and Casio all make great watches in this category.

    These aren’t beaters. No watch is really a beater unless you are using it as a hammer. It isn’t a daily driver. These are watches you simply put on because you are in a hurry and don’t want to fiddle around. Trustworthy, reliable, and fits any occasion.

    The garrison is a great example of this style of watch.
