Citizen deserves TONS of credit for the Eco-Drive. It works, and they have proven that out over 30 years of full-on market exposure. Seriously, I saw the first ones in the early 90s. Even Seiko couldn't get their Solar movements to perform as well. Citizen is capable of great things, and this new auto confirms it.
I purchased the yellow dial citizen in November 2022 after seeing the watch on IG. The yellow dial really captured my eye and it's stunning to look at and I also have received several comments and a lot of people have asked me where I purchased the watch because it's not available in America.
Bought mine with the yellow dial last week and it’s my best watch by far! Stunning in look and accurate in timekeeping! Will be buying a second Citizen watch in the near future!
I'd prefer to get a Citizen Ecodrive in this price range because they're the most easy to use everyday watches I've ever had, no battery changes, no winding and they're accurate as well. You can choose from hundreds of models, simple 3hander to Chrono to GMT. Citizen QC is also much better than other brands in the same price range.
This sounds Interesting and makes sense , i usually don't like quarz Movements , but the Eco Drive is a good alternative to Automatic watches , not from the point of accuracy , i know quarz would beat Automatic movements easely , it's just i am oldschool , a Real watch has to be Automatic in my Opinion .
I chose the Tiffany blue face, which looks awesome. Had mine for 2 weeks now and love it. Bought in UK at H. Samuel. Ticket price was £300, but I got a discount so paid £260. Excellent value 🙂
I just got the blue frosted one for 240 euros last week during black friday. I'm very satisfied with it, and the newer 8210 calibers even have the hacking feature!
I will buy this Citizen after watching your video . The Yellow colour looks damm cool . I was loving teal colour but after watching your video I feel yellow looks more vibrant . Thanks
Thanks for sharing this nice Watch. I've got the blue one. The Dial ist awesome. But an important addition. The lug to lug dimensions, without the end links, are 45 mm.
Casio offers the most for the money, but Citizen offers the best entry level mid-range watches. Casio and The Citizen Group are all I need. Bulova, Citizen Eco-Drive, Miyota Movements, and Alpina. 👌🏼
Thank you for that great shot about Citizen. I like the yellow version indeed and it is perfect to wear when you are in Paris just like now. If they get it, no big worries, shall they take it and have fun while you can still be relaxed in that nice city.
Loved Seiko's but am now a traitor have two tone NJ diver in blue $290 sub lookalike awesome, want many of the Tsuyosas simply beautiful Citizen all the way😊
I got the black one. I have a large collection of watches, but I love the look of this Tsuyosa. Bracelet feels premium and looks it too. Apart from the deployant clasp being pressed steel but no one see's that. Not that accurate nor legible in the dark for very long but who cares? It looks premium, feels good and I enjoy wearing it.
Yep I want a yellow op but even if I had the 20+ k for it I don’t know if the tax is worth the color Got the tsuyosa and it’s just amazing and perfectly scratches that itch and mine is running at -0.6spd
Of wish there was a lume test vs the OP. The Rolly should win, but still, would be fun to see Joe close Citizen could get for just 300 bucks Edit: other than that, great vid!
I was looking for a new seiko as a daily wear, but when trying on the new models I didn't like them. To big, ugly dials and expensive. They also had a tsuyosa which caught my eye immediately, I tryed it on my wrist and now I own one, with the black dial. It runs a little fast (7-10 sec a day) but to my surprise this model has hacking, the reviews I saw didn't have hacking. The bracelet looks nice and feels very comfortable, very good budget watch in my opinion.
People sing this watches praises and I agree it's very good looking and well finshed. But anyone who is thinking buying this should know the next things. The quality feel is bretty bad, I don't expect watch this price to be solid, but this is worse thab another watches I have handeledbin this prizepoint. The date looks shotty and its really hard to wind. Also the dial look very different in real life. In sunlight it's lot paler yellow than in the pctures. And the dial color changes a lot depending on the lighting. This ofcourse can be positive thing to some. It's a very bretty thing, but all the money has went to the aesthetics in this one.
The Rolex is way out of my wheelhouse; I ordered the black Tsuyosa as a sort Seiko Sarb033 replacement. Haven't received it yet. If anything I'd prefer it was 2 or 3 mm smaller. I have a big wrist, so that's not the issue; I'm just a little tired of the big watch fashion. Big strong soldiers in WWII wore 33mm watches.
The Rolex is better but in daily use the experience with the Citizen will probably be about 60% of what the rolex experience would be,especially for someone who is not a watch enthusiest.Ive compared 5000$ divers to 125$ divers and found the wearing experience not markedly different between the two.
Make's Rolex look chunky and fussy anyone unfamiliar with brands would choose Citizen no contest.this soon to become a classic icon try to get early non hacking will end up rarer. Will have watch snobs pissed off for years they hate the movement cos it outperforms lots of exotic ones theres a reason it's been around for nearly 50 years others keep building new ones trying to get one right.😊😊
My Tsuyosa is crap. The accuracy is all over the place from -38 to +47 on my timegrapher then it will go to 0 for a bit then all whacky again. I’ve demagnetized it twice and it’s no better. The only positive I have for it is the yellow dial oh and the crown is abysmal also.
Bro , the brazalete and the watch I think citizen got it right put those two yellow bezel side by side citizen look better Quality.. you are comparing a $300 dollars watch with a $6k to 10k watch Which most likely Rolex spent less that a $1000 dollars to make this watch or any steel watch Except gold watches cuz the gold Your are just paying for the brand I did owned 3 Rolex watches They didn’t keep the time 100 % and last , sold it loose a lot of money
Decent value but the crown at 4pm, the little cyclops & double marker at 6 kill this for me. The Rolex OP is much better in 41mm, but sadly discontinued of course. Just my opinion 👍🏻
Rolex. Is butt ugly, chunky, fussy dial ugly band, looks dated anyone not watch snob would choose Rocky(Citizen) over Apollo(Rolex) . Also Citizen 8210 movement has been used for so long because it just works so well a testament to is design accurate and rugged . This time it's Rocky2 ADRIAN
lets be real , this is in no way a Rolex alternative , there is a huge quality Gap , but from the look it really has something from a Rolex , but only for People who have no clue about watches , I have the green dial version , Green is the Classic color of Rolex , but i swear i didn't buy it for this reason , it was just good looking to me .
Which watches in the sub USD 500.- would you recommend as well?
There's plenty of Citizen Promaster below that price point, I have one dive chronograph for only 180 Dollars
Citizen NB-1050 is too slept on at sub $500 right now…
Orient Kamasu, Tissot prx quartz
Seiko 5 Sport GMT
invicta 8929 i have the steel black dial version
Citizen is probably the best watch brand for budget
Seiko , citizen, Casio all same league
@@Mashburn007 but compare to QC level, Seiko is overpriced
And also Orient!
I think it's Orient.
@@thodorissaritziotis3306Those Orients look classy and understated. I may get one.

Not to mentioned Seiko Solar comes with 5-year warranty on its solar system, but *Eco-Drive system is lifetime warranty*
My Seiko Solar malfunctioned after 5 years of rarely use, had to replace batter the solar battery.
eco drive is actually god tier for what it is.. cheap, reliable, precise. no downsides
When one of my favourite channels uploads... I click immediately! ;) I loved this comparison! For the pricepoint, that Citizen is REALLY DANG GOOD!
Yeah I have to buy Citz for a while too when I save money for Omega haha
Oh it's my fav, Britt!

You buy Rolex to impress others. You buy Citizen to impress yourself.
I will buy this Citizen after watching your video . The Yellow colour looks damm cool . I was loving teal colour but after watching your video I feel yellow looks more vibrant . Thanks
I prefer yellow, or a custom piece from IFLW watches, with their hand-painted dials.
i have the ''tiffany blue'' one, opened it, played a little bit with the raquette, and now it goes at plis minus three seconds 👌
Hell yeah definitely was planning on copping the Citizen, sold, love that yellow
Thanks for sharing this nice Watch. I've got the blue one. The Dial ist awesome. But an important addition. The lug to lug dimensions, without the end links, are 45 mm.
I will be buying the orange one so excited
I love the citizen. Mine is with Black dial🎉

Citizen Eco drive Nighthawk.. aesthetics, functionality and durability 💎
I love my white dial Tsuyosa. May have a generic movement, but it keeps decent time and it has the hacking feature on one I got.
I have the blue one and it's absolutely amazing watches at this price. Thanks for the review! 👍
Cheap and nasty
Awesome watches. I got two already😍
Thank you for that great shot about Citizen. I like the yellow version indeed and it is perfect to wear when you are in Paris just like now. If they get it, no big worries, shall they take it and have fun while you can still be relaxed in that nice city.
Leaves a hell of a lot of change for the lovely Parisian lady's very wise wish I was there 😊😊😊😊
There's a gold band with green face, which looks really nice
i got the yellow dial, looks incredible under direct sunlight
i bought the yellow and aqua blue ones
Wooow wooow I will buy one citizen watch full color . Thanks 🙏

This one is really nice but, Citizen nb1050 is a wonderful watch!
What is the Swiss secondhand marketplace where you buy your watches?
Beautiful watch!!❤️
i'm wondering if there is a better bang for buck watch in existence in this price range at all.... beautiful piece
I want these bad, also you would fall in love with the Citizen NB-1050s
you'll never go wrong with a citizen,nice to see an affordable automatic.nothing new about a yellow dial,ive an eagle 7 citizen i bought in 1987.
Tolle Uhr für kleines Geld. Ich mag das Bild im Hintergrund. Hast Du das selbst gemacht oder kann man es irgendwo kaufen?
Does anyone know how this would wear on a 7.5 inch wrist?
Hi Marko. Where in Zurich can you buy this watch? Is it about CHF 300?
seriously, i can't fault this. it looks incredible for its price.
How did get Rolex Oyster for so cheap I can see it everywhere at thrice the price.
The Christopher ward c63 Sealander 36mm was a great alternative to the Rolex when it was as available, but do have other colours available.
How is your watch experiences..??
I choose the green one.
Thought I clicked on wrong channel for a second lol cool piece
I would love to see a review of the Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto🤩
Of wish there was a lume test vs the OP. The Rolly should win, but still, would be fun to see Joe close Citizen could get for just 300 bucks
Edit: other than that, great vid!
Wer braucht eine Uhr? Bei den alles wollmilchsaeuen Handhelds?
Is that the 36 or 41 yellow op
36
Well, at least Citz is also co-found by a Swiss guy, so I believe it's not out of concept from your channel ;)
Is it legal to wear a watch other than Swiss made in Switzerland? 😁
Citizen is 🔥🔥🔥
Is Toyota Corolla an alternative to Mercedes-Benz S-Class, maybe ?

At night time they can both tell the time. Ill take the citizen.
its incredible watch at a great price. this is a real bargain. very high quality Jpanese watch. why spend thousands on swiss ???
It looks a lot better than the SNXS79 in my opinion.
why do you compared this watch with the snxs79 ?
@@TheXxsylarxx1 Maybe because that Seiko was praised for many years as Rolex OP-vibe affordable alternative.
I mean SNXS79 is 270 GBP in my country atm (it is priced more than other seikos which are better) and CITIZEN Tsuyosa is 370 GBP.

Wish the Citizen smaller size then it gone be iconic watch.
it's only 40mm, kind of small for a men's watch
@@rickhammel9541 wish a another option unisex size 35-36mm.
@@kubipro5880 there's probably a woman's model around that size.

I prefer a date movement. Wouldn't be interested in buying the Rolex OP. Datejust yes, but OP and Explorer don't do anything for me.
If only they can make the "citizen" logo a bit smaller or more tasteful. That logo ruin the look
The dial work from Seiko and Citizren will put some swiss watches to shame.

From the photo the citizen has a better looking yellow than the Rolex.
It's a shame when any watch manufacturer feels the need to put "automatic" on their dial.
What a waste of dial space.
Never heard of negative space? Most people subconsciously dislike excessive negative space. This is well-known by this point
The cyclops ruins it for me
Trust me. Wait for the Rolex.
Citizen
👍
Bro , the brazalete and the watch I think citizen got it right
put those two yellow bezel side by side citizen look better
Quality.. you are comparing a $300 dollars watch with a $6k to 10k watch
Which most likely Rolex spent less that a $1000 dollars to make this watch or any steel watch
Except gold watches cuz the gold
Your are just paying for the brand
I did owned 3 Rolex watches
They didn’t keep the time
100 % and last , sold it loose a lot of money
If you want a great watch at a good price, buy a Citizen. If you want to impress yourself and waste your money, buy a Rolex.
this watch doesn t even have 100 m rating that do have other cheapers and nice citizen watches, it s a scam for the price
5:43
I don’t want a homage so I’ll pass
Decent value but the crown at 4pm, the little cyclops & double marker at 6 kill this for me. The Rolex OP is much better in 41mm, but sadly discontinued of course. Just my opinion 👍🏻

The question is only: would you want something that looks like another, more expensive watch?
Yes!
The crown placement is ugly and stupid…can’t get over the look of it! Ruins the whole look.
Nope. Its perfect.
The watch is garbage. Feels cheap on wrist. Looks cheap on wrist. Cheap movement. Scratches easily. No brushed steel. Absolute garbage.
The citizen looks much better than the Rolex
