My first watch and the start of this hobby
This is my Citizen Calendier Eco Drive Rose Gold Chronograph. My first watch purchased about 3 years ago.
I got this watch before I knew anything about watches and and didn't foresee the hobby and passion that it would turn into.
I remember being at a Jewelers and trying to decide between this Citizen and an Armani watch ( I was really clueless). Finally I went with the Citizen because I simply liked the strap more. So, so clueless.
I went on YouTube as I was trying to figure out how to configure it and one recommendation after the other led to finding Watchfinder, Teddy, Urban Gentry and Ben's Watch Club. I spent hours the following weeks watching YouTube and learning all that there is about watches. It's now turned into a passion I can't ever imagine leaving my house without a watch.
I'll never get rid of this watch due to the sentimental value it now holds for me.
What was your first watch and have you still got it?

Looks good!
I certainly have. Great watch and photo.

amazing brand to start with
i started with an Orient Bambino but i don't have it anymore because i just don't like open heart anymore but at first i thaught it was kinda cool :)
You can't go wrong starting with a Citizen Eco-Drive. They are one of the most popular brands and movements for a good reason.
My first watch was a Timex long since lost to time and youth. I've been wearing watches since the early 90s at the latest, so there have been many watches over the years.
I sometimes miss the innocence and carefree choices of the clueless period. 👍

That's a beautiful watch. Thanks for sharing.
That Citizen is a keeper. The memories will always be good to have, and it helps to own a reliable quartz watch with useful complications.
I sold my first mechanical watch -- a Seiko 5 flieger -- after just over a year. My taste in fashion changed, and its all black design didn't always complement my clothes. The movement always lost about a minute before the week was over, which was annoying.
I added some other watches to my collection in the past year, but Its spiritual successor is a tiny quartz Seiko Tuna that I love for its size and versatility.
Thanks for sharing mate. I have looked at the Seiko 5 flieger before and I am a fan. Yup, you can't beat the Tuna for size and its interchangeable nature.

Big fan of the Bambino, but yet to own one. I can never find it at a decent price. I'd stick to the 2nd gen bambino.

Citizen are fantastic. I have added 2 more to my collections since. They are still, sadly, underrated.
Mine was a swatch irony but today it does not work anymore and as you know these can't be repared. Thatbis the reason I do not like swatch
