    Hey Everyone! What do you think of this Citizen Fugu? Also, if you haven't already, check out this Dual Crown Diver from Ball as well. Enjoy your weekend!

    I picked up a bumblebee version for $325. Changed the strap to leather and wear it as a daily. Prefer Citizen over Seiko.

    I didn't no about the puffer fish on the dial. Until the kids started whining. It looked like just something to make it more interesting than just flat dial.

    You mentioned lume in this, I agree that most don’t understand that the initial brightness doesn’t last but once your eyes adjust to darkness you’ll be able to see what you need to. I own a Sangin Atlas and I love everything about it. The movement, the lume, and the durability is bombproof. I just ordered the two tone metal bracelet version of the Fugu for Christmas and am really looking forward to it. It’ll be my “special occasion” type of watch. Thanks for your review! It was definitely helpful.

    Very nice watch imho. I recently purchased the black case and bezel w/ green dial of this model 👍

    I was considering biting the bullet and buy a king turtle for my next watch, since I like the turtle but love sapphire crystal. This will be my next purchase.

    I always am reluctant to pick up any sort of coated watch. It looks really nice, though. I'm also curious how these will hold up. Seems like one good scratch would ruin the effect - I don't mind a scratch on steel - but a light mark through a dark finish sounds like the worst.

    I looked at 4 of these the other day at Kay jewelers..i really like them..my entire watch collection is 97%dive watches..i had my eye on the fully lumed dial.but when the lady said 630 dollars plus 15%off i was like whoa..the 2 tone one is Alittle too blingy looking for me and the blue dial rubber strap one seems to be my 2 contenders. They also had a green dial one but that one did not appeal to me..i thought i should do a little research on them before I pull the trigger on a 500 dollar plus citizen diver so here i am watching and Learning.all my citizen s are divers except one and that is the pro master tough with the titanium coating which is a awesome watch..and I have to say all the citizen divers I do have are half the price of tvese3 new fugus..they are quartz of course and are pretty darn accurate. And i know if I don't get the one I really want and purchase a different fugu because of cost I eventually will end up not liking it and ultimately end up with 2 fugus because the fully lumed dial is the one I really want. Maybe I should wait a couple years and see where the prices are then.

    I have the Batman version! I have quite a few Seikos, and this one is as good as all and better than most. Currently my EDC watch, wearing it on a rubber strap. Great bang for the buck !

    I've owned the version of this watch with the fully lumed dial for about a year and a half. The black case coating has held up extremely well so far. Not a single mark or scratch. I wear it more as a daily; no diving or harsh treatment, so your mileage may vary.

    Awesome piece i just bought the green on steel version with sapphire on ebay for 200$ thanks for the video. I wonder how that black case would look on a steel band?

    Bôk, the discount code didn’t work but I’m late to the party. They have two blk/green dial NY0155-07X and blk/lume dial “-58X.

    these all dropped to around $200 in the UK on sale, a more realistic price.. I purchased a few in different colour ways.

    Thanks for the review, will this work on a 6.5 inch wrist? My ny0040 which is the original 42mm model works well for me but I am considering adding this one to my collection.

    What’s the difference in movements??? Does it boil down to just the accuracy?? How are movements judged??? Accuracy? Durability? Longevity?? I’m curious I’m getting into watches and I have been leaning toward this fugu with rubber. Right now 329$ on Amazon

    Where can I find a matching bracelet for this if I decide to switch up? Thanks
