What a nice concise and, at the same time, comprehensive review! The presentation, delivery, and features you emphasize are right on point. Keep up the awesome reviews!
I have the yellow and absolutely love it…huge value for $
What's the accuracy on the watch you got?
prob +- 54 sec
I also just received the yellow one - stunning!!
+5 to +7 seconds /day with my model. 😊
Make no mistake! Citizen is definitely flexing their muscles - really going after Tissot, Seiko, including their Presage and Grand Seiko line with Frederick Constant.
Very happy they went with a date because this is definitely an everyday watch, and probably my first Citizen.
Disagree strongly. Utterly useless feature in the modern day, ruins the dial symmetry and the bubble is woeful. Japanese manufacturers are insistent on adding a date to everything, ruins so many otherwise great watches IMO.
@@MPD90 Maybe not useful for you, but having a date on your watch is much more useful in your day to day life than you think. Most daily watches people consider as dailies have dates.
@@bottomtext5872 Horrible thing, ruining good dials.
I think Citizen has created a very stylish design with this model, I liked it very much. I have the one with a dark blue dial and I love using it.
Got to love that yellow dial! I'll have to pick one up for myself
I've been enjoying my Yellow Tsuyosa for a few weeks now. Great budget friendly watch!
I got the textured blue. And it’s been my favorite watch so far.
Citizen Tsuyosa Watches, you have an exceptional for beauty and artistry. Keep sharing and may your love for watches continue to grow!" Can't wait to have it on my wrist soon. I have my personal favorite🥰love the blue.
Just got the yellow one. Surprisingly nice looking watch!!!
I have the yellow and it is a very fun watch, nice review.
I have a green dial PRX (quartz) and just yesterday I bought the Tsuyosa with the teal dial, love both!
I got the light blue, such a beautiful watch!
I tried a bunch of these on at Chicago Windup and was really impressed. Yes, the clasp is pressed, but that's not something I notice on wrist. The bracelet is very comfortable and the clasp not hard to close (take note microbrands at the same show I won't name). It looks great on wrist, and yes it's not overly big. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I tried all the colors on other than black. For reference, I have around a 7 inch wrist. Would I love to see 100m WR and a 9000 series movement? Sure, but I'd also want a milled clasp at that point and then we're talking a $600+ watch that's now in Tissot PRX Powermatic territory. I think this is a brilliant move. As for the PRX, I know it may be a tough sell with Tissot after they came out with Powermatics galore in 40 and 35mm, but I'd love to see a 37.5-38mm PRX Powermatic. I can wear the 40, but a touch smaller would be brilliant.
That orange one, my god. Some affordable fun right here
100
Definitely going to get the yellow and colorfade teal. Beautiful watches.
I was just gifted the red dial version. Looks great in person.
I like the Tyosa, nice looking watch and bracelet.
I have several Citizen Eco models which I have had excellent service from. With an automatic, do you hear/notice sound from the movement? Would like to know before I order one for ny Citizen collection..😊
Just got the fume turquoise. Really beautiful color. Wish there was no date and the bracelet were better quality.
To me it looks like a decent watch overall, but I can't get past the incongruence of the angular lugs into a rounded-link style bracelet. I think it would've looked a bit better with an angular-link bracelet to match the case lugs. I also think Citizen could've done something a little bit different by placing the date cyclops inside the crystal, instead of on top of the crystal.
I totally agree that they should have gone with an angular bracelet
I bought 2 already , green and tiffany . Very happy with the watches specially the tiffany the colour is very refreshing .still room for improvement for the clasp and the crown
which one of them is more for everyday use do you think?
I recently bought a green prx, I will definitely be buying a citizen watch in that tiffany blue color way!!
I like the look a lot, but I really wish they would have gone with a 9000 series Miyota movement instead. They really aren't that much more expensive, and they could have shaved a mm or two off the thickness. Just a thought. Great vid as always, Bruce!
💯%
i got the light blue but i love that yellow, is there another brand's watch that comes with that yellow face that you guys recommend? or should i just get two citizen watches
Bruce, great video. Was considering going with the nb1050 given the 100m wr, JDM made in Japan, better 9011 movement. However, I prefer the aesthetics of this watch much more. Do you know where they assemble these watches? I know the 8210 movement is made in Japan but not sure where Citizen makes or assembles these. I have a Rolex op39 in white but I love the look of this watch and want a splash of color. Thanks!
Very Beautiful Dials
I think u hit the nail on the head with this one... This is def my fav release for the $500ish category... With that saod at this price you cant expect everything to be crazy hi quality like everything you get what u pay for..but great watch for its price range.
These are pretty watches. I was going to buy one but ended up getting the call from Rolex and I haven't got one of these yet! It's on the radar tho!
For sure a great watch for the money. I owned the beautiful yellow dial for a while and then sold It, but it delivers a lot at this price point.
If so great why did u sell??😊
@@alanhumphrey4198 sold because I had 3 integrated bracelet watches and I sold them all to buy another one and keep only that and I'm really happy with my choice. But this yellow dial is super fun
I hope they are just testing the waters with this one,and figuring out if they can lock horns with Tissot. Maybe that's why they've released it with an average bracelet, pressed clasp and an 8 series movement - to keep the price below even the PRX quartz model. In order for Citizen to produce a truly definitive integrated bracelet watch in the relatively affordable price range (and dethrone the PRX), they would need to release another version at 37 or 38mm (which is a sweet-spot size that Tissot doesn't offer), bring out the 9 series Miyota, and either bring their bracelet a-game or release the whole thing in super-titanium (it would probably have to be either one or the other since it would make zero sense for the watch to be more expensive than the PRX auto).
Love the yellow 😮
I have the green dial and it is a fantastic watch
got me the green and mean one. pretty solid budget watch especially since citizen's automatic line has somewhat been relegated to the backburner by their ecodrive models.
Great value for the specs on this watch, have got the black and ice blue colour models. The bracelet is one of the strongest points on the watch, very comfortable and stylish. Much better looking watch than the PRX imo😊
Do they all come with polished central link
Great win for citizen.
The Tiffany Blue one is absolutely 💪
Absolutely, I bought mine last week and love it every single minute. And lots of people aks me about this watch. Its an ice-breaker.
Gold bracelet and champagne dial and I’m sold.
There’s a red and gold variant too.
I like the yellow dial the best
Just got a yellow one today. Perfect for my 6 inch wrist. I tried the prx and the normal is way too big buy the 36 is too small. I love the look.
Great to hear! I've got a 6" wrist myself and it's so hard seeing releases and worrying that they're going to look ridiculous on my wrist. I was a bit underwhelmed by the PRX and I'm a sucker for a president style bracelet. Really digging this release.
What about the warm sand color?
These watches are great, and if they come out with a burnt orange, I'll jump on the integrated bracelet bandwagon faster than you can say Tsuyosa
Does anyone know how this would wear on a 7.5 inch wrist?
I think there is a red dial gold case variant overseas.
I like the teal fume dial
I have the two tone steel/rose gold version. Really nice look but the movement and crown operation is terrible. Wish they would have released it with a better movement.
Really want the yellow dial, but gotta wait at least until the new year or my wife is gonna kill me
I have a 7.25 inch wrist. The Tissot PRX40 overhangs the wrist and the PRX35 is way to small, but this Citizen sits perfectly on my wrist.
If Citizen would make a version with a quartz EcoDrive movement, I would buy different colors.
Would it fit with a 6 inch wrist do you think?
U mad bro?
I have a 7inch wrist and even a seastar 2000 fits me fine
Wdym overhangs
Your weared gold watch model?
Yellow. Iwant
Citizen should go with 9000 series with this one tbh.
I do have some confusion with the Tsuyosa tho, some reviewers said it's hacking while others said it isn't. Which one is it?
Eine der Besten preiswerteren, zuverlässigsten Uhren 23!
I own the tiffany dial. Great watch. But it would be better with a metal applied brand rather than one printed on the dial
Wish they made one at 38mm or even better at 36mm like the Rolex. Not all of us have big wrists.
The 8k series movement choice here is why this one is not for me. I wish it was better as this looks like a really fun watch.
Why? It is robust and keeps good time
It has to be GREEN!
I love my Citizen watch collection. I appreciate you reviewing the Tsuyosa. The one question I have since I haven’t tried one on, is does it feel solid weight wise on your wrist like the Rolex OP?
I did want to buy a Rolex OP at retail, but Rolex has made sure to limit the supply and ensure the OP sells for five digit figures on the secondary market. So the Tsuyosa may be a nice beater watch for the collection.
It's similar in weight as it's about 130g. The Rolex is a bit more but definitely has a solid bracelet and clasp which this does not have
dont tell me u acquired all colours range of this model????!!! i only got the yellow one about 1 to 2 years ago ....(i am in asia, singapore and that was probably the last piece left then in singapore as i acquired it via a watch retailer quite unknown to watch enthusiasts as they sell more to kids and middle age aunties )
How solid do people find the bracelet feel on these? I know we can’t expect Rolex level quality at these prices but i can’t try one on anywhere and don’t want to buy something really flimsy
Think Seiko sports level
@@BruceWilliams Thanks Bruce! Great content as always 👍🏻
I can't understand why the so called 'affordable' watch segment now starts over USD 350? Just a few years ago, the Orient (Bambino & Mako) and Seiko (Sports 5 & SKX) used to cost well below this mark (hell, you could get an entry level Seiko Sports 5 for lesser than USD 200) ? The Seiko Prospex Turtle now costs well over USD 600 for its poor 4R36 movement. I am not talking about second hand or grey market watches.
Is it due to demand, economics or just manufacturer's greed?
As for your question Bruce, I wouldn't go for these Tsuyosa pieces at this price point- The crown at the 4'0 clock position looks cheap. They look like a Rolex oyster perpetual knockoff and don't think these will age very well. I would save my money for a Tissot PRX automatic instead.
I agree. I just posted a similar comment. It looks like an OP knockoff with PRX styled lugs/bracelet. I get the concept, but it's a pass from me. I understand why people would like it though.
I got a blue one, needed a daily affordable watch. Love it so far. Great value for money although it feels too much like a rolex datejust copy
They should make a fluted bezel style also
Looks great! Can we put a nato on it?
No
@@BruceWilliams thanks
If they release a sunburst white dial, i would buy one!
There is a white dial not sure if it’s sunburst from the photos
Is the movement the upgraded hackable seconds hand capable?
yes. hackable
@@stefpixwhich ones didn’t hack?
88x Sunburst Turquoise
Call me boring but I like the black dial
Classic.
Price
The watches look great don’t get me wrong but seems like they just took what was popular and went down the list
OP colors
Same op hour markers
Intergraded bracelets
Day date copy bracelet
I feel they could’ve made something more original. To me this seems not too far away from Pagani Design or something
You said they now hack. Which models do and don’t?
Green>>>
Yellow or blue 🤔🤔🤔
Just got the fume teal, great overall watch…
Such a pretty dial
But you don't have maroon color dial with golden bracelet
IMO these would've been perfect with the crown at the 3 o'clock position
But the crown barely protrudes
Also in 38 mm
Crown too small that's my only down fall
True, just makes it more symmetrical, not sure wtf they're thinking
With 3 o'clock crown AND with eco-drive!
I want to love it, but for me, this is lazy design by Citizen. It's just a homage to the Oyster Perpetual, with a date window that looks like a datejust, with angular lugs that look like a PRX. I'm not sure about the mashup style of this one. I just don't know how to feel about it. I "get it" but at the same time, I don't.
Integrated bracelet and case of oyster quartz but ok.
red???
Not all the colors. There's a red one with gold bracelet, a black one with gold highlights on the bracelet and a camouflage one.
Yea i think its the strongest but expensive
if they make alot of these and they go sub 300 why not try. the yellow one will probably be the one always hard to find a deal on. the bracelet is where they give away that the watch is inexpensive. they could have picked a different bracelet style. oh well
Nope, these are not all the colors available. Apart from the white one, there's also a gold coated one with a red dial and an all black (pvd?) one with a camouflage pattern!
Just wish they have a no date, or no-cyclop option.
I could see Cirizen expanding options on this model
What does tsuyosa mean
strength
Too big for smaller wrist. Need a 37 mm version asap
i heard that bracelet is 100% crap😮 Only hope for Strapcode.
Tissot PRX, Seiko 5, and Rolex DateJust all rolled into one.
It's a 3 for 1!
Why Screw Up such Nice Designs by nailing in RECESSED Crowns?
You don't have the gold one with the red dial 😂
Not out yet that I can see
Tuyosa all day over stissot
70s integrated case fad on a played out Datejust homage with Day-Date bracelet links and a vintage Seiko crown style and position.... this watch is so lazy lol
No😂you missing the gold-red tsuyosa
If only they were no date. That cyclops looks off.
Lose the date (and awful cyclopes), dump the cheap auto movement and put a good solar quartz in there, use that space saving (quartz vs auto) to beef up the water resistance without increasing the size. Then you'd have a winner.
It's already a winner 😂😂
@@farangtravels3956 Not IMO.
Date outsells no date especially in this style of watch so I understand Citizen decision. I don’t know why there couldn’t be an eco drive version seems like they easily could.
@@MrBacchus18 Evidence for that?
@@MPD90 I don't have hard evidence most watches don't give numbers. It is just I'be heard a few CEO saying that and the fact that most watches have a date it is the most popular and useful complication.
tsuyosa in PRX aut..😂😂🤣🤣 because only automatic..
Too big
Dear Bruce Williams please stop sending giveaways President solid 18K gold Rolex with your Telegram channel it’s very annoying. I do not wear yellow gold watches and I never liked Rolex anyway. It’s very annoying because since I am watching your channel I thought you knew more about my personal tastes with the algorithms. Whatever. No Rolex yellow gold for me. Tnx
Little too late to the party. 😂 Rolex wanna be
Nothing exciting about a mediocre Japanese movement. Pass.
