I see what you mean. It is a bit of a jungle. I was coming from an angle of being conscious that many companies don't treat their workers right and I was more thinking of the actual watch fabrication companies. You sort of wonder how some companies and I'm thinking perhaps of Casio can make their watches so good and so cheap.
Thanks for your input. I was just sort of scouting for what people thought and feel about ethics in the watch making industry. I agree also that the companies in many industries use concern for the environment as some kind of selling stunt.
I see what you are saying. I'm sure they work fine. I suppose I'm just being over cautious or overthinking it as you would say. It's more of a hobby for me at the moment anyway.
I suppose it's good to have a hobby. At the end of the day though they are just another item of clothing; if not a useful one. I'm really looking for my forever watch. But I am enjoying the hunt, browsing the internet, looking at youtube videos and even going on this forum.
But that's just it. From the manual downloaded. Presumably from the citizen website it appears to suggest that you need to give the watch 4 hours of internal light per day so it doesn't drain. I don't wont to be watch conscious all day long. But apart from that I am thinking of going solar.
