Citizen watch made just for golfers: BM7120-01A

Hit the links and then hit the pool!

Citizen made a watch just for golfers - the BM7120-01A pictured here in the white/gray version (also available in black). This Eco-Drive watch is powered by light and comes with a 5 year warranty on the movement.
Citizen mounted the crown/stem on the left side so that golfers will be able to wear it with comfort - even while swinging for the pin. The lightweight titanium watch is mounted in a premium rubber watch band.
The crystal is scratch resistant sapphire and you can swim in this watch (rated to 330 feet). All this for less than $300.

Citizen Watch is working with Susan G Komen.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure is proud to partner with Citizen Watch Company of America as the beneficiary of the sale of specially-marked Citizen Eco-Drive Paladion Limited Edition watches. From September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, Citizen will sell the watches through department stores and fine jewelry stores nationwide. Citizen has guaranteed a donation of $100,000 in 2010.

They have two limited edition watches for this fund raising effort. We have one of each at Chimera.

One wonders how they get away with this stuff.

Just got a Memorial Day sale mailer from a major Department Store. Looked inside and found an add for 25% off Citizen watches. One of the watches is the Skyhawk pictured above.

The flyer claims a "regular" price of $650.00 and with the 25% off it comes to $485.00. I wonder where they get their "regular" prices because the Skyhawk has a suggested list price from the manufacturer of $599.00 - in fact they are shipped with a price tag in that amount. From time to time we put our watches on sale at 20% off which means you would pay $479.00 for a Skyhawk at Chimera Design - six bucks less than the Major Department Store.

Gee whiz - how can my 20% off sale give you a net price that is less than their 25% off sale? Oh, I see now - they mark it up to mark it down and still charge more than we do!

The reason I like to point this kind of thing out to you is my attempt to educate you about the games that are played with prices and discounts. The fact of the matter is that retail stores have to make a certain amount of profit to stay in business. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, but it is wrong to mislead people with artificial prices and discounts which really amount to the Major Department Store (in this case) making more profit than we do - even though it looks like they are discounting the item MORE than we are.

Eco-Drive Citizen watches coming to Chimera.

If you know me at all, then you know I get excited about watches. I also get excited about Green technology - Citizen Eco-Drive watches feed my excitement in both categories. THEY NEVER NEED BATTERIES - they are powered by LIGHT, natural or man-made. Eco-Drive watches take their power from the sun or any light source. They have a 5 Year Warranty.

The Citizen Eco-Drive watches are coming to Chimera. We have 24 models, all of them Eco-Drive, on display in our show room.

They range in price from $135 to about $700 - and they all run on power from LIGHT!

Great for the environment, great for your wallet!
