Citizen "The Citizen" AQ1030 is a high end high accuracy quartz from the top tier within the Citizen lineup.
Featuring Zaratsu polishing and being hand made, it rivals the more popular Grand Seiko
Movements wise, the A010 caliber is rated at higher accuracy of +- 5 seconds per year vs. Grand Seiko 9F which comes with +-10
This also has a perpetual calendar until the year 2100.
independently settable hour hand for easy time zone and DST changes, and is solar powered being an Eco-drive movement with a 1.5 year power reserve.
Other technologies include an anti-backlash system for the seconds hand, impact detection and protection as well as instant date change at midnight making it one of the most advanced quartz Movements currently in existence, surpassed only by the latest Citizen 0100 movement that boasts a +-1 second per year accuracy!
The case and bracelet are both of Grand Seiko quality in both fit and finish and only the hands and markers under extreme macro shows the level of finishing is Slightly below GS.
In person the watch is stunning and wears like nothing i have tried before.

    I find both very appealing on paper, Citizen probably more than Seiko. The thing that ruins Citizen for me is the fact that once it develops a problem, that's the end, the watch is bricked. If I'm going to spend $2k on a watch I expect to be able to have some options if there's a problem (including batteries/"capacitors" as they are erroneously called by enthusiasts). If not official warranty support then at least some way to obtain parts, "capacitors" especially. Praying that something will be available on the black market 5-10 years from now doesn't seem like a real solution. So for me, Seiko wins even if it needs batteries at 3x the rate of the Citizen. Any problems can be addressed through my country's service center. If the risk of buying a $2000 paperweight doesn't worry you, then the Citizen definitely is the "better" watch.

    @@diegocastellanos8329 theoretically you would think so right? Unfortunately, the general consensus on the English speaking watch internet is that Citizen in Japan isn't responsive to non Japanese speaking foreigners sending them watches from abroad. Whether it's a language issue or an issue with their warranty policy or what, no one can say. With regard to service outside of Japan, local Citizen service centers are not equipped to handle these things. Perhaps if you get it through a reputable Japanese exporter who deals with mainly foreign customers who is willing to deal with your situation, they could help you with it. But it's very unlikely you could get it serviced without a Japanese AD helping you, from Japan. Perhaps this will change in the future, or perhaps not. They're getting more attention now, but Citizen doesn't seem to have any interest in promoting them internationally. The increased attention to Citizen HAQ among international watch hobbyists is largely a side effect of Seiko's promotion of GS quartz watches.

    Beautiful watch but setting of the year seems confusing. You mentioned leap year in all the hour indices but also said it was the month, and from what I am understanding each second mark represents one year. So how does one set in years ending after a 5?

  • @davidg1830

    Addeded second marks represent years passed since leap year. If it is a leap year you add cero, if it passed 1, 2 or year you add +1, +2 or +3. You don't need to add more as next to +3 is leap year. To determine if a year is a leap year you divide (with remainder) year number by 4, the remainder can be 0, 1, 2 or 3 (it can't be 4). 0 means it is divisible by 4 and it is¹ a leap year. If remainder is for example 1, it means it is nota a leap year and it passed 1 from previous leap year. ¹: This is correct for all years except those ending in 00 (century change). Those century years are leap years if they are divisible by 400. For example 2000 was leap year, but 2100, 2200 and 2300 won't be; 2400 will be leap year.
