I miss watching robot wars UK & US. I miss sir kill-a-lot, mr. pycho and the other house robots. I would love to watch it again, does anyone know where I can watch it online or buy the dvds?

Citizen Watches vs Bullova Watches.?
Ivan
I'm looking for a decent watch and here are the two watches I saw so far:
Costco has the Citizen Men's CB0010-53L Eco-Drive World Perpetual A-T Watch for $220 + tax (Costco IS an authorized dealer, made sure with Citizen).
vs
Bulova Accutron - Men's Exeter Watch for $200

Keeping in mind I guess that Bulova is now a Citizen owned subsidiary.
Thanks ahead of time! (My question specifically is both on brand quality and aesthetics)
Answer
Aesthetics - If the Citizen's is the dark face rather than the white face it looks good. The Bulova is a much simpler and classic look and easier to read. The aesthetics should mostly be your personal preference since you need to wear it.
Quality goes to Bulova and not even close. The Citizen is Japanese movement. The Bulova is a Swiss movement. The pricing of the Bulova tends to be higher. That is more closeout as a model than the Citizen, though both are discontinued.
The Citizen is an electronic watch. It uses a solar battery and sets time by radio I believe and works electronically. The Bulova is mechanical-electrical with a battery and was the first electronic watch. It uses a tuning fork.

Here is a reliable watch discounter to get a better idea of selling prices rather than a retail and discount.

The question comes down to electronics vs the brand quality.
Why do people buy Rolex and Breitling watches for thousands of dollars. It is in the brand name and precision of time piece on its own. Bulova would be a low end of them in the same line of thought. Which would you be proud of the most? A watch that runs forever based on electronics (assuming the battery of the Citizen stays charged as it stores the light), or a watch that is Swiss made with a tuning fork inside?
For me, I bought a much less expensive Skagen similar to this one:

I like very thin, a smaller watch face of a simple design, and a mesh stainless steel band.
The Citizen is 11mm thick and Bulova 12mm. They are both about 43mm diameter and the Bulova I believe is a heavyweight band much sturdier than the Citizen.
It is always a matter of choice.
I also have a see-through watch. There are various brands

The idea is that any dollar-store watch tells the time. It is already on cellphones and computers and everywhere you look. A watch is a piece of jewelry that you buy as an adornment.
Youo have to love the style and be proud to own it, or don't bother.
