Really like this my friend, absolutely love Citizen watches now, I get why Seiko has the edge as a brand, however Citizen just seems to hit the nail on the head more precisely. Great review as ever
Just bought it recently. Aside from the date window being too small I love it. Fits perfectly, the blue looks great. 41mm a nice sweet spot, almost small on my wrist (7 1/4") Very light bracelet. Good value for the price. Are mineral and Seiko hardlex similar? 5 years with my Seiko and nary a scratch.
Here I've seen it called a "Weekender" although Timex might cry foul on that. I was just getting a battery replaced at a mom and pop watch place and I saw this behind the counter. Listed at $450 but 30% discounts the norm.
thank you sir and welcome to the channel :) yeah these are a great value package and Citizen do that well, Seiko made their own so yes their's is slightly better I'd say :)
Seconds hand not hitting the indices triggered my ADHD. Have to watch the video again not looking at screen. Great looking watch and great review. Seconds hand not hitting the indices is a deal breaker for me(Am I asking too much?)
With you on Citizen not telling us about their new stuff. Also common issue with watch naming, there your watch called Sport, in America it called Odyn.
Looks pretty bulletproof. Solid construction & solar powered so no pain in the arse battery changes! I think for me it’s just lacking that je ne sais quoi! Genuinely love Citizen watches …. Just not in love with this specific model 💔
Always wanted an Eco-drive. I wanted the old hard to find Promaster Tough (indices no numerals), saw it somewhere near me for $400 but this one looks nicer, also cheaper
Hello, I am from INDIA ,I am confused in between casio gbm 2100 and this watch, which watch will have more life because in terms of looks both of these watches have nailed the market..
hey Vipul thanks dude and wow interesting comparison, personally I don't like the aesthetics of the gbm2100s, i prefer them in resin as i think the steel watch head is too heavy for the strap, but I am in the minority as many people rave about them LOL
@@thetimebombardierI'm in a big confusion, whether to buy it or not. I liked the watch (design is good, size is good) but I am personally a BIG hater of homage watches. Pls help with my confusion. One solution that comes to my mind is to buy the teal colour instead of blue (it looks less homage, I guess).
@@thetimebombardier I have Seiko5 (srpd), Orient Kamasu, steel g-shock (b200), a few resin g-shocks and a few other casios. Can you pls share the model number of these different dial watches.
@@DirtyHuman4831 nice and for different refs you can look on international websites like sakura ippo and others so you can these see different regional models 😎👍
That G-shock poster was probably super funny in its day but these days you got a fair chance to find bloke in a dress at the urinal... 🤮🤮🤮This is a super pretty watch! Yeah... Sport is not exactly catchy and neither is BM7630-80L... The watch itself is rather pretty! Citizen QC is better than Seiko QC and that's how they get it right! I like the BGW9 lume as well. The blue is soothing. Thanks for sharing man! Hope you have a great weekend!

cheers Nick and yeah citizen releasing a great number of watches recently and most are spot on :)
I really like it, Bomber, but I love that G-Shock ad on your desk 😂
cheers bud maybe I'll do a giveaway of the ad when we hit 10000 subbers or something :)
They should make more watches with this design
@@pamelaleong984 cheers Tony and yup seems their recent releases have been a big success, hoping for more of the same 😎👍

yeah that's the other aspect about Citizens is the discounts usually kick in quickly so you don't have to wait long to get one,

thanks Sankal, and welcome to the channel, you are not alone here as many of us suffer that ADHD and get very frustrated when watches fail...!!
Good to know there are others as well.😅
Mine hit the mark perfectly.
I personally love this watch. It LOOKS more expensive than it is.
cheers Josh yup it's a decent offer for a great price!!
Why make a timing bezel but make it a non moving bezel?
yup just for show :)

merci monsieur por le je ne sais quoi :D but yes totally agree it's just in need of something, maybe a white dial version?
@@thetimebombardier Je ne suis pas sûr non plus d'un cadran blanc. pour être honnête, ce n'est pas le citoyen le plus beau que j'ai vu

Man if these model numbers get any longer they're going to be rivaling car's VIN numbers
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mr.eswatchreviews yeah I don't get why they can't just name them LOL
Does it have the power saving mode, when kept in darkness for longer time (like solar powered g shocks)?
not exactly, these things go to sleep and reawake super quickly, i've just unboxed some new promasters and they kick into life very quickly,
@@thetimebombardier Okay thanks.

Reminds me of the Tag Heur Aquanaut
yup agreed there are flavours of it there :)

Will this watch be considered a homage?
