Citizen Ecodrive AW1365-19p (English review)

[@simondale3422]

When navigating pilots use minutes like this. EG if air traffic controller ask me for an ETA at my next turnpoint I will say '37' - meaning 37 minutes past the current hour. And when navigating each leg on my navigation is in minutes. IE Before taking off I calculate how long each leg of my navigation will take, based on flying at a certain indicated airspeed minus the wind (taking into account the windspeed and velocity at that location on my chosen route using data from the Met Office). When I reach a turnpoint I log the time I arrived (in minutes), then add the time for the next leg, and that gives me the ETA at my next turnpoint. I then fly the calculated heading until my watch tells me the the current time is now the ETA, and then I will be overhead the turnpoint (town, lake, hill or whatever else I'm turning over). That's why fleiger watches have the minutes more prominently. Hours are mostly irrelevant for navigation (or at least very much secondary). I've certainly never done a navigation where any one leg is longer than an hour (but it could be done, a fleiger does show the hours - just less prominently than the minutes). The problem with very long legs like that (apart from the cost) would be any errors (in calculations, in flying accuracy, windspeed blowing you off course, etc) would be magnified. You'd want to have regular 'cycle features' on the route to make sure you were on track/ allow you to correct for any drift, etc.

Good review. Very simple watch which was comprehensively covered by this reviewer. Many thanks.

Thanks for the positive feedback!

[@spankyharland9845]

the watch will tell you when it needs a UV charge, the second hand will skip two seconds. Once you give it about 10 minutes of sunshine, it will go back to ticking one seconds. Great watch, love it and I would like to get that canvas strap form mine.

[@WildBeret]

there is no stainless steel version anymore , probably the black body when it will be scratched will leave more bright marks ? I wanted this model for work

[@allosMD]

I still have this watch, don't wear it as a daily, since it is a bit on the large side for me, but it has't got any scratches on the body or the glass (yet..). I'm on the second strap as the canvas one gave up 2 years ago.

[@WildBeret]

@@allosMDsomeone mentioned that it can be whole black metal deeper but I doubt and it is just thin layer , the other version looks great it cannot be bought as new anymore

Great review pity about the size and the lume is really poor.

Great video. Question: The first watch is Orient bambino or simphony?

[@allosMD]

Thanks for the comment! It's an Orient Symphony

[@bullcity5057]

Is there any difference between this and the AW1365-11X ?

[@allosMD]

to me they look identical.. perhaps the colour of the band is a bit more dark on the -11X?

[@bullcity5057]

@@allosMD thank you for the response sir. I appreciate it

Thanks mate!

[@RampartPh]

nice watch but it's too big for my sub 7" wrist.

[@allosMD]

It is a large watch indeed

Too big a watch with mineral crystal.....it is a scratch monster......

[@allosMD]

You have a point there, yet no scratches on mine and I was wearing it as a daily..However the strap came apart recently.. :/

@@allosMD I am clumsy....and have come to the conclusion that I need sapphire.....just one of those things.....

@@miguelpinheiro8645 recently changed mine with a black leather strap..not as good looking as the original one, but still does the job

Devi stare fermo col polso e con l'orologio, chi guarda ilvideo non fa in tempo a capire che cazzo stai facendo e vorrebbe vedere l'artico qualche secondo in più x apprezzare bene
