Looking for a watch...

[bquinlan]

There seem to be a lot of knowledgeable watch people here, so I thought I'd ask for some advice.

I don't really require a fancy watch, but I do have some strong opinions about what features I want:

analog and digital time displays with seconds
day and date
effective lighting that works in all modes
alarm
countdown timer
chronograph
50m waterproof

Things I prefer, but don't require include:

blue face
titanium case
countdown timer with option to automatically restart when it goes off

I might be willing to spend $500 for the perfect watch, but I'm not likely to spend more. For that matter, if I could find a Casio that really fit my criteria I'd probably be happy with it.

My current watch is a St. Moritz Format 2Ti with a blue face. It is almost perfect, except that the light doesn't work properly if you aren't in the standard time display mode. (Give me a separate light button and I would never think about another watch.)

Can anyone recommend a watch that fits my, admittedly strange, criteria?

I believe that Citizen offers a watch like the one you describe, but I don't know the model number or name.

The Citizen's I've looked at in the past did not have lighting, but that may have changed since the last time I looked. I'll go see what their web site has to say. Thanks for the tip!

Bob Q,

Coming from another Bob ........
Try the Citizen Promaster Navihawk Series ... got every thing in your list and fits your criteria including the Blue face execpt no lighthing (get a Photon II to go along with it) works for me !!

oink.....oink... Bob

I like the Navihawk, but I still want a usable light on my watch. (Heck, I've already got a Photon II.)

The only reason my current St. Moritz Format 2Ti isn't prefect for me is the light. You can't turn on the light in the alarm, chrono, or timer modes (at least not without causing undesired side-effects). It just needs a dedicated light button.

Thanks for the suggestion.
