- Is this a good first automatic watch?
- Yes. It is simple, sturdy and water resistant to 100 m, so it works as an everyday watch while you learn about mechanical ownership. It lacks hacking and hand-winding, which some first-time buyers want.
- Does it have sapphire glass?
- No. It uses mineral glass, which is more prone to scratching than sapphire. Expect to polish out fine scratches or replace the crystal after years of wear.
- Can I swim with it?
- Yes. The 100 m rating covers swimming and showering. Do not press the crown underwater, and have the gaskets checked every few years.
- How long does it run when taken off?
- About 45 hours on a full wind. That covers a weekend off the wrist, but it will stop if left longer.
- Can I wind it by hand?
- No. This movement winds only through wear, so give it a shake and set the time before wearing after it has stopped.
- What is in the box?
- The watch on its stainless steel bracelet, a Citizen box and paperwork. No spare strap or tool is included.
- Where is the Citizen Mechanical Automatic Light Blue Dial Watch NJ0191-83L cheapest?
- At Jomashop, for $179.00, as of our latest check.
