I loved the Aqua Terra when I first had it, but ended up being annoyed by the hour hand. It wasn’t the lack of lume, which I never noticed, but the bevel at the tip. In some light it reflected ‘black’, which had the effect of shortening it. Turning your wrist was like flicking a switch for the length of the hand. After a while it was all I could see. Everything else excellent.

I also don’t like the minute hand with the arrow head which blocks the date for ten minutes every hour. I had a similar issue with my first four PO. They really need no date model for the AT. Then the lack of functional lume would be my only issue. What kept me trying it so many times is how nice the cases and how beautiful the dials are done. The stick hands on the railmaster fix the issue, but they don’t put as nice to dials on those. Hands are a pet peeve item for me so don’t let me mess something up for you . The bracelets on the A-T are also a personal thing that I can never get the ATT bracelet sized that the watch doesn’t spin on my wrist or cut off blood . This is all solved by the great strap when it has the fold over deployment, which I think is one of the best strap systems in the business. Again, this is just my opinion . I’m just real picky about what I like . This was my last one which was the real looker that the hands were again its downfall in my opinion since it’s only came on the fantastic strap.

Ten minutes of Googling and all I can find is a bare left wrist.

What a loser.

I agree. I hate the minute arrow hand. This watch could be so much better with better hands.

I 100% agree with you that they need no date Aqua Terra models.

This goes against so many of my design pet peeves, but for some reason, I still like it.



It is tempting. I wonder if it would pass muster as a dress watch. 53.5mm lug to lug sort of makes up for the 34.7mm width.

The Swedish friend I mentioned in yesterday’s WRUW is the person who sparked my interest in watches. For his 6 week vacation in the US he brought these 3 watches.

This was his most recent purchase and I like it a lot. I’d likely wear it on tropic rubber if I owned it.




He has owned this for a while. He likes the splash of color on those long Swedish winter nights. I liked this more on the wrist than I thought I would.




Finally, one of the highlights of his collection. I’m not a quartz collector but I could be convinced by this Citizen.
