bilmem Watch folks-- Citizen Automatic?

I found a watch like this one on ebay for about half of this price.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Citizen-Aut...item2a7390a0b4

Citizen Automatic Diving Rubber Strap Men's Watch NH8380-15E

Decent $100ish watch?

Research the seller and make sure they have a good reputation. Other than that, Citizen makes a great diver. A couple of months ago I purchased an Eco-Drive one similar to the one you are looking at.

there are tons of fakes out there these days. they use less expensive movements in very real looking cases. usually see on more expensive brands though. honestly, for 100 beans I wouldn't care if it was a knock off so long as it keeps reasonable time, which it likely will.

if you want a citizen, amazon, macy's or jomashop are better places to buy.

here's one similar:

I've had that very watch for several years now and it is a great watch.

I bought this one a couple of months ago, also a nice diver:

I had a Citizen Eco-Drive for years, but it died in a drawer.
I will say that I like the rubber watch strap.

Bought a Marathon from Nox years ago and I just swapped out a new strap that has been in a drawer for years. Still smells strongly of vanilla.

Nice watch.

Being a life long watch freak... my "automatic" days are over.
I just don't want the hassle of winding or rotating watches anymore; got enough going on in my life.

Shouldn't those watches be called "manual"?

you'd think so; but "automatic" in the watch world = self winding.

Miyota Movements, they aren't fancy but they are robust workhorses.

I once went to Vegas to drink myself to death and I sold my ’93 Rolex Daytona for $500.
