I've gotten on this Invicta kick lately, here's my latest.

And then a Swiss Legend as well, not sure on this brand yet, a little cheaper but they have a lot of nice looking models:

What are everyones thoughts on the Citizen Eco Drives? I found one locally that I really like and might add it to my Christmas list. Are these decent watches or should I look elsewhere?

Your Swiss Legend reminds me of a Technomarine.

I think I'm going to start on their low end with a maxi marine chronometer. I love others they have but they get steep in price real quick. Big fan of the freak models and the more artistic ones. Really like the sonata silicium. But it's not like I can afford one let alone get my hands on one.

If Ulysse Nardin is the brand you like, the Maxi Marine Chrono is a good pick. There are enough of them out there to get a deal on in the used market. When you are ready to make a move, check out
http://www.pduggan.com/
He is in Boston and has a good reputation with some big time collectors I've met. Great prices, warranty and you'll see the watch in person first since you are from the Bay State.
New watch, can't beat Singapore dealers.

Thanks for the heads up on the local place. Will check it out for sure.

I have a an Eco-Drive it's a titanium and is light as a feather
One thing I have been told is that there's a battery inside the watch to store electricity (when it's dark) and the life of that battery is >10years. I like it alot though. I am lately digging the automatic watches and have 3 invictas and 1 Seiko and fake Rolex Auto. I also have a fairly nice Victorinox Chrono

Here's the business end of my gold Invicta with an automatic Miyota movt.
I also have a stainless Steel one that is indentical looking but actually has a seiko auto movement but branded as Invicta, it is NICE and keeps great time. I think as a whole invicta could use higher QC standards. JMHO

It vibrates whenever I receive any of these 3 along with showing me who is making the phone call, or showing me the text message, or showing me which account received an e-mail.
Plus I get the weather! Best. Purchase. Ever. (I've been using it for a week now - wanted to make sure it really worked. I work in a factory so I can't hear my phone ring and usually don't feel it vibrate...but the vibration on my wrist is hard to miss)

Alright - so it has been 2 months now. I've gotta say...I'm never going back to a watch that doesn't bluetooth to my phone.
I can actually FEEL the vibrate feature since it is strapped to my wrist, I can glance down and see what the weather is outside, read all incoming text messages, and see who is calling. Best. Watch. Ever.
