This or the seiko 5 for £115? Can't make my mind up!

Mechanical or (solar) quartz, depends on what you want.

Nice watch. Not sure about the leather strap. Any good? Obviously not as durable as stainless steel, right?

Normally have mechanical but like the sound of the solar charging. Citizen 5 year warranty as opposed to two with seiko. Titanium on citizen. Straps easily changed. Mmmmmm?

I've just taken a look at this in-store. Its not as nice in the flesh, in fact it looks a bit cheap and tacky. Needless to say, I didn't buy!

The one in H Samuel is a different model. No Perpetual calendar, alarm, titanium etc.

Yes does look like a £20 watch in the flesh

That's a shame - my own current Citizen and another I was considering at the time (both deals I posted beginning of the year) were actually better in the flesh (particularly the Blue Angels one as was unsure from the pictures). I wonder if it's the ion plating, as well as the lightweightedness of the titanium that contributes to it?

These aren't radio-controlled (from the atomic clock time signal) compared to some other (usually more expensive) Citizen Eco-Drives, though.
