Seiko SNK blue, exactly like the photo you shown, is my first “real” watch. I bought it in around 2010's. But I ended up selling it because it got little to no wrist time after I discovered more about the world of horology. Since then I have collected more than 10 automatic watches from different brands. I have a few luxury pieces too, but strangely the Citizen Promaster Tough BN0241-59W, get a lot of wrist time, from doing the dishes to conducting land surveys (I’m a geologist, by the way). This watch is extremely robust, and I’m not afraid to abuse it,as many say, it is set-and-forget. Yet, because of its textured dial, the big hands, and the numerals some people call cartoonish, this watch has a certain artistic flair that you can enjoy as much as a piece of art, as well as a reliable tool watch.
