Questions and answers
- Which is better for swimming?
- The Citizen. It is rated WR100 (10 bar, 333 ft). The Stuhrling is listed only as water resistant with no rating, so do not swim in it.
- Which lasts longer without maintenance?
- The Citizen. Eco-Drive is charged by light and never needs a battery change. The Stuhrling runs on a quartz battery that will need replacing every few years.
- Is the Citizen worth the extra money?
- It is not extra at recent lows. The Citizen was $67.00 on October 29 and the Stuhrling $102.00 on October 28, so the Citizen was cheaper and adds solar power, 100m water resistance, and a day-date.
- Which fits a large wrist better?
- The Stuhrling, at 42mm. The Citizen's 37mm case is small and suits wrists under about 7 inches. The Citizen's 18mm lugs make strap swaps easy.
- Does either have a date?
- Only the Citizen. It shows day and date. The Stuhrling is time only.
- Which is better for a dressy outfit?
- The Stuhrling, with its leather strap and larger case. The Citizen's green nylon strap and field styling are casual.
