I got a surprising amount of buzz back from the Citizen Alterna watches we talked about just a few days ago, most of it relating to the fact that the design for these watches isn’t exactly new. While the strap and case are certainly updated, this post on the Poor Man’s Watch Forum (who knew?) illustrates that the watch internals are at least 15 years old. Citizen is selling us 1989’s technology in a spruced up form, which is fine, I guess, but I sort of like the 1989 style better. The middle generation of watch I’m not feeling so much. Of course, I own calculator watches, so my opinion is obviously somewhat skewed. (Thanks, Joseph!)
