Here is my Citizen BM8180-03E review, also known as the 'Chandler'. It's one of the best affordable field watches you can find out there. Powered by the popular Eco-Drive system, this watch will never need a battery. Watch my video review to find out more about this excellent option!

Wrist Diet Yes I want buy one

@aikirunner 4 года назад

I’ve own one for 10 years. I did replaced the band with a dark brown leather band.

@wristdiet 4 года назад

@@aikirunner Yes that's the way to go! A silicone band is also a good fit!

@DeathByCactus 4 года назад

Just bought one, with a Crown and Buckle Chevron Fifty 19mm. It's now never leaving my wrist.

@sopwithsnoopy8779 3 года назад

Owned one for 4 years now. The band is just getting to the point where it needs replacing. The face is also more scratch-resistant than one might think. I work in a factory and have banged mine around, including the face, and still no scratches yet.

Probably my favorite watch I have. Simple, looks great and has survived everywhere I've taken it (Afghanistan and Iraq). Alongside a Casio G-Shock, can't go wrong

just ordered this watch Feb. 2023 cant wait to get it next week!! great review.

@gersan8056 8 месяцев назад

Any updates on the watch? Thanks!

@roadgent7921 4 года назад

These are phenomenal watches. I've owned for 14 years. Strap it comes on is not great. Once on a nato 18mm they are ultra comfy.

@wristdiet 4 года назад

Exactly! I completely agree with you and I am glad you say you own one for so many years!

@nemes15G 3 года назад

I have one of these and would recommend changing the rather stiff and uncomfortable stock strap for a nato. It's a brilliant little field watch for the money

@maximus3233 3 года назад

It's available on Amazon, does CITIZEN still manufacture this model ?

@nemes15G 3 года назад

@@maximus3233 lug width is 18mm and citizen still make this model. I wouldn't put a steel bracelet on, what is essentially, a field watch but each to his own.

@peteglanton9259 5 месяцев назад

I bought one of these around 2013, but ended up swapping it for a solar g shock. I bought another recently, and I’m sure the lume is weaker than the watch I had in 2013 🤔 I wonder if they started using cheaper lume, or if I’ve got too used to Seiko lumibrite. The lume has now got me thinking of swapping it for something else… 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Biblicalgiants 3 года назад

I'd probably take this watch over a Seiko 5 field watch...and probably even over a Hamilton Khaki field due to the better price.

@Christian_from_Copenhagen 3 года назад

Good review! Seems like great value for money.

@wristdiet 3 года назад

Thank you for the nice words. Indeed this watch is great VFM! Don't forget to subscribe for more videos like that :)

@CSltz Год назад

Sorry but I do like the band. I think it fits the style of the watch very well. I would like it better if the face was a little bit larger. Guess we both need to keep looking. But I think it’s a great value overall and would make a great gift for a kid’s grownup watch.

@DouglasLippert 2 года назад

Great video 👍🏼

@travis3430 Год назад

I've went with an alba AQPJ402 instead 👍. That has a decent bracelet but this has eco drive.

@romeo6048 4 года назад

Nice video. I like the simplicity, design, and functionality of the watch. I just ordered one from Jomashop but it's on backorder and ships 4-8 weeks if they're able to locate one. Does anyone know if it's still in production or discontinued?

@wristdiet 4 года назад

Hi Romeo. Thank you for your comment. Yes, this is a great timepiece and I think you describe it very accurately. I personally love it! It's still listed on the Citizen site but I am not sure they still produce it. Why do you ask?

@romeo6048 4 года назад

@@wristdiet Hi, thank you for your reply. I asked because they've been out of stock on several online sites including Amazon. I think I'll wait as Jomashop offers a good price. Best wishes!

@wristdiet 4 года назад

Excellent choice! One of the best solar options out there!

@Seffsqautch 3 года назад

Where does the tag say the watch was made? I know it’s a Japan movement, but the tag with the barcode should said where the watch itself was made.

@wristdiet 3 года назад

Unfortunately, I haven't kept the tag!

@terrylew6565 4 года назад

Would the band get small enough for a 6 inch wrist? I am also wondering if this small watch would still look too big on me.

@wristdiet 4 года назад

Hi Terry, yes that would suit your 6-inch wrist. This is a small watch, especially in real life, so you will be fine with it!

@roadgent7921 4 года назад

Watch size will be perfect for you. Also, put a 18mm nato strap on it using the single pass method and this will be your most comfortable watch. 👍

@seashellsonazure 4 года назад

On the good side: Light, durable, not bulky, accurate, can go down 50m which is more than enough for most people. On the bad side: Strap is shit (smelly and won't last a week of real heavy use), date feature is useless but who cares

@wristdiet 4 года назад

Yes, the strap is a clear weakness here but I think it's easily replaced. Other than that, it's a great watch.

@ProviantoWibowo Год назад

under 100 dollars? I don't think so at my place, this citizen bm8180-03e sells for over 200 dollars, too many positive reviews makes demand go up made me turn to its equivalent competitor, the seiko sne095p2 for value for money reasons
