CITIZEN x NISSAN Fairlady Z Watch

[jezzza]

People go crazy for limited run fashion items, especially the Japanese. These will sell out, I guarantee it.

? first shoes, now watches?
what's next? limited ed. Z speedo?

if they do come out with the speedo and you buy the shoes and watch, i wonder if you could get a "package" deal?

I understand why people are shocked at the price, but the Citizen Geo Watches are all around this price.
The upside is they don’t need batteries, just charge from the sun…I do own one of the first ones that were released.
Im not gonna lie, it’s kinda cool how it jumps to life when it’s been in a box for a while …watching the hands spin round is kinda memorising .
My husband owns Tags, but battery replacement costs a fortune especially as he wants it watertight for surfing

They actually can be a nifty watch and as this is a limited run…even more so.
Would I buy it…no, but there will be plenty who would. and at least it’s not ugly, unlike the shoes ?

That is similar to the Kinetics from Seiko that wakes up after you move it around (replacing the old fashioned spring winding). And this was available more than 20 yrs ago. So it really isn't all that ground breaking.

For me, the biggest thing is the brand perception. Citizen isn't a luxury brand just like Nissan isn't a luxury brand. So when you sell a watch (or a car like GTR) that approaches the entry level luxury brand, people roll their eyes...lol

Japanese watch & Japanese car, makes sense when you think about it.

Even though they are not, Citizen is thought of by many as fashion brand. Maybe too mainstream for a luxury brand?

They should have been branded it as a Bulova.

What's the extra slot in the box for? Is that where you are supposed to put your shoes?

Looks like it's for the key fob.

Good guess.

 

[ceric]

Why?
Why a watch comes with a fob?
I am missing something here....

 

[jezzza]

Why a watch comes with a fob?

It doesn't. It comes with an empty slot in the box for one. ?

 

[DevonK]

Looks like the fob is the only part of the car with carbon fibre. ?

no, but a speedo could fit in there...

Sign me up! I'm partial to a speedo. Down under we call them a budgy smuggler.
