Not to get all “fashion-y,” but don’t listen to anyone that tells you “____ is the new black.” They’re lying. Nothing is ever the new black. Except black. Black is the new black. For those of you out there looking for a new watch, the Citizen Eco Drive Stealth will fill every black need you have. It’s black on black on black. Black face. Black hands. Black nylon straps. Truthfully, it looks like it’s kind of hard to read. Not impossible, but slightly more difficult than your Timex Weekender or your iPhone. That’s ok though, because what it lacks in ability to view in the dark it makes up for with style points and, oh yeah, black. It’s equipped with day/date, a Japanese Quartz movement (no batteries, ever) and a water resistance depth of 330 feet.
