Update to add this video. I bought one years ago as a gift, and handling it I was impressed with the large display. It has the interesting feature that pressing the start button in the home screen will start the countdown timer, at which point you will see both the timer and the time in the home screen (see 17:25 in the video).




Update 2: After contemplating the single-push timer function and the vibe alarm, I decided to buy one. I want to try using it to help me manage my time as I work at home. When I am heads-down in a project I lose track of time and this could remind me to take breaks (and do reps :-) ). Likewise it can remind me to get back to work when I am looking for watch deals, lol. At first I thought: just use the timer on one of my various digital watches. But the vibe alarm keeps it discreet, the big pushers make it easier to use than a square, and there is little fussing with the UI. We'll see.
My G-Shock entry drug. And still one of my favorites and my most beat up G-shock. I used to use the vibe alarm at my daughter's travel softball games for timing the games. They'd never run the scoreboards at the parks, and on time limited games it was nice to have a silent alarm to not be a distraction behind the plate at the fence.

I will say it's not one to easily fit under a sleeve, so it's mostly a summer watch for me.

Heads Up! I Saw A Bargain Here! 2021

That's usually as good as it gets to buy straight from the manufacturer, with 2-year warranty. They don't carry only the low end stuff either. I'm the proud repeat owner of a blue world-timer. On occasion, you can find the flyback chronos and even a perpetual calendar every once in a while.

FC's with the high-end, in-house calibers are great value at retail and cannot be touched, value-wise, if on deal like the one above, IMO.
There are crazy good deals on the Alpina monopusher chronograph I have. If you look at specs, nothing comes close under $1000. They’re down to $800.

$880 after “extreme “ coupon

My local Citizen outlet only carries Citizens now.

Update:
According to following sites, AL-727 movement is the same as La Joux-Perret Caliber 8201 MPC which is based on ETA 7750.

It was yesterday, so it will be interesting to see if orders placed then are honored with the additional 50% off or cancelled.

NAD.

At MoT the deals are too good to be true! No cancellation yet, but Monday May bring one…or a shipping confirmation.

Per Tribus, the code was not supposed to work with the 70% discount watches, they disabled the code and will be cancelling all orders with it. I had a feeling this would happen so I only ordered one, if it was for real I would have ordered a few. As said, usually if it seems too good to be true.

There used to be a Citizens web site that sold Alpinas and FC occasionally for 65% off, I had ordered a watch from it last year. Does anyone know if it's still active? Can't find it.

I was looking for it too a couple of weeks back. I tried a bunch of keywords online during my google search, but had no luck. I suspect it might’ve taken down. :-/
