"Together, the two changes represent a significant shift for a brand that built much of its reputation on unlock-friendly policies."

Quote from: Shameful on Yesterday at 18:57:02Is this really the type of «journalism» this site wants to be affiliated with? A paid article under cover of «opinion»? Comparing quartz to mechanical service intervals? Really? Rolex too gives a 5 year service interval. Is Citizen anywhere near Rolex? Comparing entry level 4R to the top level 9000? Both brands are excellent choices for watches but this article does justice to neither. It only tries to create controversy by blatantly miring Seiko to prove nothing. It's really shameful.

the hardware spec looks sick but the price is disappointment. in the same configuration as tuf a14 it costs almost twice as much in my country
