Citizen Perpetual Calendar ChronographvsMEGIR MESH CHRONO

Owners widely praise Citizen's perpetual calendar models for their reliability and the convenience of never needing date adjustments. The Citizen Perpetual Calendar Chronograph is noted for its functional E820 Eco-Drive solar movement, perpetual calendar, and chronograph capabilities, offering good legibility and wearing comfort. Some owners find the complexity requires referencing the manual for setup. One owner reports the chronograph times only up to one hour and mode changes require pulling the crown, with support limited to whole-hour UTC time zone offsets. Another owner experienced an issue with the crown turning while wearing the watch, changing the mode and rendering it unusable. On balance, owners and reviewers value the Citizen Perpetual Calendar Chronograph for its feature set and reliability at its price point.

Owners widely praise the MEGIR MESH CHRONO for its excellent style and surprising quality for the price, with some considering it a favorite among Chinese brands. The chronograph functions are noted, with the 6 o'clock sub-dial acting as the chronograph hand and tracking seconds and minutes, though one owner found the chronograph seconds hand did not sweep smoothly. The included nylon strap was found unattractive by one owner, who also noted the strap keeper was small. On balance, owners rate the MEGIR MESH CHRONO highly for its value and stylish design, serving as a good alternative to higher-end chronographs.
