The Tissot range looks like it’s taking on Seiko and Hamilton at the same time. Nicer in the leather strap. I wasn’t expecting to like the Citizen, but for eye catching visual appeal, it wins. Love the weighty crown guards, not too dissimilar to the bulky ones on a Panerai. The video image quality is definitely noticeable, 5k well spent.
I'd gone to a Citizen boutique a couple of months ago and tried the Series 8 on. Stunning watch, but the important part is that the sales consultant said it was a La Joux-Perret movement. So if it's super similar to a Miyota 9k movement, it's probably that newfangled LJP caliber that's based on the Miyota 9k series. Hope that helps!
are you talking about this specic Citizen model in this video or in general? Because as I am aware there are variations of the Series 8 with Caliber 0950 instead of 9051 like this one? If so, very cool.
If I had to choose I would go with the Citizen out of the two. A less expensive, Eco Drive version of that Citizen with a similar shape would be quite interesting if they ever made something like that.
@@markiangooley ...and with titanium case and bracelet, plus G-shock type of protection would be even more nice. Hmm... Nah, I'd still rather go with Oceanus.
Just a quick comment reacting on the intro: well done and good luck for your full time on YT (thumb up already) ! Video quality is way better and looking forward to your video about it :) Now back to the review !
Tissot for me I like the green dial; I’m not sure on the overall design of the Citizen. Definite improvement in picture quality, looking forward to the new camera video.
I prefer the styling of the Tissot, but Citizen finishing looks amazing! Really appreciate the bump in production quality, everything looks so crisp now!
I actually prefer the Tissot, little more slender looking and well done and that green is so nice. Congratulations on completing your studies and the new arrival. All the best mate
The Tissot does not fit slender. It is a full size big boy watch. Both are very nice. Citizen is better movement, not that Tissot is bad but Citizen is better. I have Powermatic 80 Y to Tissot and it is very good.
I bought the Citizen series 8 late last year, however I opted for the other model with the round case. I could not be more happy with it, and I am happy to see that the series 8 line gets some attention. Does not seem like a lot of people know about them, and that’s really a shame.
Both are really nice, the Citizen has some great angles and a superb movement and slightly quirky. Love that dial on the Tissot and the visuals, very clean and classy but not sure about the clasp. Tough pick to choose but both are definitely great picks! Nice one Jody and congrats on the birth of your baby! 🤝🏼🤜🏽👍🏼
I'm surprised that nobody talks about the camera quality. I see great improvements especially on the highlights, bokeh, natural sharpness and colours. Good investment Jody, waiting for the upcoming videos!
Congrats on the new camera set up. A lot of people don’t realize how expensive A/V equipment can get, and it gets there just as fast as a new watch, lol. Tissot for me. Cheers from the states.
I prefer the Citizen, more soul, more character, more distinction. It might be a tad small for my 7.75-inch wrist, but its muscular shape might compensate for the 40mm size. Thank you for the comparison.
I have a quartz Tissot Visodate and it's a cracking little dress watch - wouldn't mind another Tissot in the collection, the Gentleman looks like a nice piece!
I've never owned a Tissot, but love the classic elegance of that watch, which surprised me a little as I normally go for the more modern and edgy looking watches, but not in this case. Looking forward to more content now you've finished your studies, bet you're glad of that. :-)
I have the blue dial tissot gentleman and I love it the movement is spot on and it looks great on the wrist, notckeen on the shape of the citizen. Great review keep up the good work
I just added that Green Tissot Gentleman to my collection and I really Like it Overall. The Powermatic 80 movement is Super...Dial, Fit, Finish, is Great. Also a Very comfortable watch on the wrist. A bit more of a refined watch compared to the Citizen...In my opinion. Congrats on going full time on YT and can't wait to see the results of all your new equipment..!!
Ah, you are going through the 'I have paid for the low aperture, so I will use it wide open, no matter what' phase. A bit more depth of field may be good in the tabletop sections, so don't be afraid to close it down a few stops. Also sharpens up a tad more when doing so, getting the best out of the lens for this occasion!
Hey there JOMW! I've been doing photography for a few years and one of the most cost-effective options I've found for macro shots are tube extensions that go between the camera and the lens. If you find a good one, it'll still let you control f-stop and retain autofocus, and this essentially makes old lenses that have no macro capability to being great macro lenses. Loving the new setup overall.
Congratulations on all the big changes in your life: new child, PhD, and best of all, new equipment! LOL. I don't know if your new camera does 4K, but in all honesty continuing to upload in 1080p is probably a better choice anyway. Of these, I'd have to select the Tissot with a quartz movement. I can't justify the price of the automatic Gentleman, and I don't go for the stop sign shape in a watch. Citizen offers a round version for 50% more cash. It must have a different movement as well.
Congrats on the new gear! The same corny jokes we all love, but now in HD! I like the dials on both those watches. Simple, but they look great. It’s too bad Tissot used a butterfly clasp on that bracelet. It’s the only real fly in the ointment for me.
Please do a full review of the tissot. I just bought the same model in the same colourway and it came last week. It‘s my most expensive watch to date and i love it 😍 i think it‘s a perfect watch for a person my age since I am 22 and it doesen‘t look to flashy but still great quality for the money. Keep up the great Vids love your channel since i got into Watches mid 2020. Greetings from Germany ✌️
I think I prefer the Tissot, but there is always something a little unsettling about a sector dial to my eyes. I find any lines radiating from the center of a dial add a moment of uncertainty when trying to read the time.
Nice new camera and lights, mate! As to the watches, I reckon the Citizen is my choice except I won’t pay the prices. Call me frugal, call me cheap, I don’t care. There are so many great watches to choose from under $500, I’m just spoiled for choice!
Jody, new equipment looks great. You can tell immediately that you spent big bucks. Thank you. Citizen black dial looks great btw. I wish they didn't include crown guards. Would have been visually more balanced. Just my 2¢.
That Series 8 is very Nice. I've been looking at these for at least a year since they've come out and I like them. Good to see them making mechanical watches again.
Love the addition of backlights! Brings so much dimension to your talking head shots. As for the watches, I like the Citizen but I'm not sure I'd actually wear it.
I would pick the Tissot, but the bracelet on the Citizen is quite nice. I did not realize there was a Titanium Gentleman, but it's disappointing it is only available in quartz. Titanium would certainly get rid of the weight complaint.
Looking forward to the super duper macro lens! I love macro watch shots. 😁 I prefer the green Tissot. Something about Citizen designs that just don't quite gel with me ever. They do do a more interesting dial variant though - NX1010-84X.
I agree with your comparisons at the end and the benefits of each (9:59). Going into this vid, I thought I’d easily choose the Swiss Tissot, but after seeing all the great features of the Citizen, I’d be happy with either one. I feel the Citizen’s case and bracelet wouldn’t be as much of a scratch magnet as that Tissot. I like your new look with the updated equipment. 👍🏻
Hey, it’s been a while since I have watched but nice to see another great video. I always wanted to love the Tissot Gentleman but I’m a Citizen man so I just never could warm to it. I would love to see the citizen in some different colours. Definitely a step up in quality.
I really wanna say “First! “, but I wasn’t!🤪 Lovin the new camera Jody!👍🏼😎 A nice pair of watches. I’ve got a plethora of Tissot & several Citizen! Mr. P, you’ve done well. 👏🏼
Nice review. Both watches have their strengths. Both very worthy additions to the collection if you get the right deal! Pic quality is awesome/ a touch more light required in the studio. Love your work!
I am not super interested in either watch, but what struck me (and it could be my imagination) is that the video does seem noticeably sharper!? I knew you got a new camera, but I figured I'd be loathe to tell the difference!
The tissot in green is already on my 'watch watch list.' It's likely to be my next purchase. The citizen, not so much, and this review didn't change that.
I can feel a real improvement in image sharpness, however I think the skin tones are not the best a bit pink/red and green. I am sure it will get better with time and experience ! Great video and great content, as usual !
1. Hi Jodi, I was watching you on my TV. Huge difference with the new equipment! Vader and I shared both 'happy' and 'amazed' expressions, 2. You said no improvement in the jokes........What jokes? Vader and I shared 'confused'. 3. Tissot or Citizen...I think on this one I would have to say, Tissot. I would go quartz.
i quite like the new 'the citizen" with the black dial and angular case, with that LJP G100 in it. If you can get your hands on one of those that would be interesting.
Nice equipment, nice watches, nice shirt! I would do the Citizen for it's unique flair and the bracelet is much better. 21 mm is almost as bad as 19 mm. I hope the little one is doing well and you did not get too wet recently?
Both nice. I'd lean towards the Citizen. The case design is more interesting and I like the angles. And, can get that (faux) integrated lug look but not be limited to strap options.
I would love a review of that green Tissot gentleman. I’m seriously considering it as my wedding watch. I love Tissot and my fiancée’s favorite color is green and I think that watch is beautiful!
Year later update: I got the green gentleman for my wedding! And it's quickly become one of my favorite watches and is now a strong part of my daily rotation. I loved it so much I got another one! The black dial with brown leather band for something more subtle. And I got quartz versions of the black with leather strap for my groomsmen, and they both wear them regularly! I have large wrists so the fact that it's a bit chunky for it's size is a bonus for me! The green dial is the real showpiece. In direct sunlight it just dances with color! But in more subdued lighting, it becomes much more subtle. If you were to catch it at an angle in low lighting, you would think it was black, which is great IMO. It stays under the radar until someone really gives it a good look, then it becomes so much more! The movement is still spot on. It looses about 1 second per day. I couldn't be happier with that. I was worried about daily scuffs and scrapes on the high polished links on the bracelet, but it actually gives it a really unique character. This one is definitely *mine* now :) In summary: The Gentleman is an amazing GADA watch that I would recommend to literally ANYONE who wants a watch in that style. It's Well worth it on the leather too in my opinion :)
I prefer the Tissot… something about the watch head on the Citizen doesn’t do it for me. Congrats on completing your studies! The new camera is great too! 👌
Congrats Jody on completing your studies, and also on getting new gear. Definately you can see the difference in video quality. As to the watches, they are both very dressy, especially the Citizen. The Tissot still has that "Field" or "Oyster" look, but the shinny links and the non clasp bracelet makes also a dressy watch. Like the green dial with the crosshairs on the Tissot, so I guess if you put it on a decent strap, it can disguised itself as a field watch. Anyway, keep up the great work!
Looking good Jodi! I’m excited we will get a video about your production equipment upgrade. As nice as that Tissot is I think the Citizen is the more compelling of the two. On that topic, I’ve got my first citizen coming in the mail, not entirely unmotivated by your video on it though I’d been eyeing one a long time. It’s the Promaster NY0084 automatic diver with the green bezel. Still a deal at $189 USD. CHEERS MATE
The citizen 9051 movement is based on the 9015. It comes with a new balance assembly, specifically to achieve higher anti-magnetism and use screw like adjustment system (similiar to ETA 2824) instead of the lever type in 9015.
The picture quality of your new setup is great! It’s like a veil has been lifted 😁👍 I also prefer the Gentleman over the PRX, not really into integrated bracelet steel sports watches…with a few exceptions. This Citizen is really nice too!
I have the tissot powermatic siver dial...one of my collection...very classy with rolexish impression on wrist...that green is pretty tho...the citizen case style is attractive wish the inices were more like the tissot but iverall very asthetic look...
Been watching for a while and it's nice to see the production quality increase whilst you remain grounded to your principles, as always great informative content in a clear structured video
Looking sharp Jody! Both the watches and your good self too thanks to the upgraded gear! It’s a common refrain I’ve heard from RUclipsrs and content creators from all the hobbies I follow, be it watches, guitars, video games, home hi-fi, coffee, whiskey etc, it doesn’t matter how expensive we think the objects of our enthusiasm are, they pale in comparison when you price up cameras, lenses, lights etc 💸😂 Of the two watches unboxed the Citizen speaks to me the most. Looking forward to hearing more about both watches either way though!
Jody this video looks like it was filmed with my own eyes! Great setup mate. Personally I was facing a similar choice recently, and I ended up going with a Longines Conquest V.H.P. in 36mm. It’s an incredible watch that I don’t think most people know about!
I’m not sure I totally agree with you about the powermatic 80 being ‘a much nicer movement’ than this Miyota 9xxx series movement Jody. The Silicium version does bring increased anti magnetism to the 80 hour power reserve party, but the lack of easy diy regulation is a big no-no. You need to be careful how you hand-wind them too, as being essentially a modded eta 2824 they can suffer with the dreaded spinnng rotor when you wind caused by worn reverser wheels. My own Tissot Pan Europ with the powermatic 80 developed just this issue within a year and had to be repaired under warranty. I think the higher beat Miyota 9xxx is more robust, much more easily regulated (especially this version with the screw micro adjust) and personally I find the rotor that only winds one way and free spins the other way a non issue, unlike yourself.
I have heard there are questions over a Powermatic 80 and servicing/repairs. I've seen some suggest that it's not as straight forward as a tried and true 2824 which any watchmaker can easily work on. If I had the choice i'd also rather less power reserve and a higher beat rate. My watches are often rotated and sit long enough that 40 or 80 hours makes no difference to me.
@@JustOneMoreWatch Yeah me too. I have a Miyota 8215 in my PD-1639 and compared to the NH35A in my Grand Diver, it's night and day. If the Seiko feels more refined, then the ETA should be night and day.
Both are some of my favorite looking daily watches! I think the citizen is alittle more interesting looking but I would struggle to accept paying $250 more for it. If they were the same price then it would be a tougher choice. Looking forward to seeing them in more detail!
The 80 hr power reserve is great, but it is achieved by lowering the beat rate of a 2824 calibre. For that reason, I would go with a hi-beat Myota in the well finished and attractive Citizen case. Swiss resale is definitely better though. Thumbs up for the new camera and lighting...till now, I had no idea what a handsome gent you are!
One thing I noticed, (though, I leave open the chance I'm wrong), is that Citizen just doesn't seem to want to sell their automatics in the U.S. Citizen watches are all over the local malls, (Macy's, JC Penney, etc.), but always quartz Eco-Drives. You have to search far and wide to find an automatic Citizen. As for me, I just recently bought a Tissot Gentleman. One thing I haven't seen many reviewers notice is that SOME of the Gentlemen have an added dial feature, like the green you show here. Some of them have little crosshair markings between 12 and 6, and 3 and 9. It's a seemingly minor addition....but to my eye, adds a ton of visual interest. Worth seeking those out.
when you review your new equipment i would love to see you include your entire studio to include your video editing software. here in japan citizen is now offering an upscale line called "The Citizen". Have not handled one yet but they look very good. I didn't really like this particular citizen until you put it on wrist.
I will take that Citizen please and thank you! Both brands are well represented in my collection. I’ve been screaming for citizen to use their own 9000 series movements more often. I think it tops though Tissot in the ‘looks’ department, and all around package, as well. Thanks Jody!
I'd almost automatically say Tissot but this time the Citizen is the one. It just has a bit more character without overdoing it, the Tissot is unexciting to be honest. Just one thing, Citizen need to start making a lot more automatic watches. Would love to see a range that would compete on price with Seiko's new 5kx range but with a sapphire crystal as the cherry on top
The new camera was well worth the money Jody. I would choose the Tissot although I notice it now has a sector dial, and kinda on the fence with that. It’s the crown guards on the Citizen that bug me, I mean why? Why? It’s not a dive watch and it makes any symmetry go out of the window. Quite happy with the SARB though so no need really for either really.
I would choose the Citizen... Hands down!
Tissot for a first and/or only watch. Citizen for an interesting addition to an existing collection.
The Tissot range looks like it’s taking on Seiko and Hamilton at the same time. Nicer in the leather strap. I wasn’t expecting to like the Citizen, but for eye catching visual appeal, it wins. Love the weighty crown guards, not too dissimilar to the bulky ones on a Panerai.
The video image quality is definitely noticeable, 5k well spent.
I prefer the Tissot. The Citizen looks chunky for a "sports" watch. This is a good comparison review. Thanks.
I'd gone to a Citizen boutique a couple of months ago and tried the Series 8 on. Stunning watch, but the important part is that the sales consultant said it was a La Joux-Perret movement. So if it's super similar to a Miyota 9k movement, it's probably that newfangled LJP caliber that's based on the Miyota 9k series. Hope that helps!

That camera deserves all the money. The quality is just amazing. Money well spent. I would pick the citizen.
If I had to choose I would go with the Citizen out of the two. A less expensive, Eco Drive version of that Citizen with a similar shape would be quite interesting if they ever made something like that.

Eco-Drive plus radio or GPS sync with as simple a dial as possible would be particularly nice…

Thanks Tan!

The Tissot does not fit slender. It is a full size big boy watch. Both are very nice. Citizen is better movement, not that Tissot is bad but Citizen is better. I have Powermatic 80 Y to Tissot and it is very good.
Chose the Citizen for its smoother highbeat movement.
Interesting comparison, I really like the Citizen apart from the crown guards. It's nice to see movements that can be regulated by humans too 👍
Agree with your crown guard comment,to me they just look clunky, angular and ruin the whole look of the watch.
Please do a full review of tee green Tissot! Definitely want to see that gorgeous dial under macro... Both watches look awesome. Thanks.

Jorde, you have the best watch channel on the tube. I love the fact you actually have the watches to review,, not just images. Keep the great work
4k videos too pls Jodie, atleast 2k 😍 Love ur videos, congrats on becoming a pops as well!

I think the servicing costs are lower (at least here in the U.K) for Citizen and I do tend to hear good things about the customer service too.

Yeeesss!!! Congrats on the new camera Jodie! Always wanted to suggest an upgrade in the comments but didn't want to come off as rude
I think I prefer the Tissot, but there is always something a little unsettling about a sector dial to my eyes. I find any lines radiating from the center of a dial add a moment of uncertainty when trying to read the time.
I agree. I would remove almost everything from the dial. Hate wall of text, lines and such.
And that's why i prefer Dive or Field style watches, they are the easiest to read.
Nice new camera and lights, mate! As to the watches, I reckon the Citizen is my choice except I won’t pay the prices. Call me frugal, call me cheap, I don’t care. There are so many great watches to choose from under $500, I’m just spoiled for choice!

Both pieces are nice and, I’m sure wear beautifully, but I would lean towards the Citizen as I am a collector of the brand already.

Congrats on finishing your studies! I hope you are able to show more mid tier citizens, orient stars, and Seiko JDM models.
Jody, this is all great news. I'm a bit late but I'm so stoned right now. Cheers from California. Citizen is so underrated in the US.
interesting video, as always, although it keeps zooming in and out.. example at 2:18 to 2:19, and others as well. just for info, love the channel...
Both nice. I'd lean towards the Citizen. The case design is more interesting and I like the angles. And, can get that (faux) integrated lug look but not be limited to strap options.
I'm interested in the camera, maybe you can expand the empire from horology to photography... DId you go mirrorless? Grey market or retail?
Dang! The new camera looks great! Congrats on the upgrade. 💪😎💪
I would love a review of that green Tissot gentleman. I’m seriously considering it as my wedding watch. I love Tissot and my fiancée’s favorite color is green and I think that watch is beautiful!
Year later update:
I got the green gentleman for my wedding! And it's quickly become one of my favorite watches and is now a strong part of my daily rotation.
I loved it so much I got another one! The black dial with brown leather band for something more subtle. And I got quartz versions of the black with leather strap for my groomsmen, and they both wear them regularly!
I have large wrists so the fact that it's a bit chunky for it's size is a bonus for me!
The green dial is the real showpiece. In direct sunlight it just dances with color! But in more subdued lighting, it becomes much more subtle. If you were to catch it at an angle in low lighting, you would think it was black, which is great IMO. It stays under the radar until someone really gives it a good look, then it becomes so much more!
The movement is still spot on. It looses about 1 second per day. I couldn't be happier with that.
I was worried about daily scuffs and scrapes on the high polished links on the bracelet, but it actually gives it a really unique character. This one is definitely *mine* now :)
In summary: The Gentleman is an amazing GADA watch that I would recommend to literally ANYONE who wants a watch in that style. It's Well worth it on the leather too in my opinion :)
I prefer the Tissot… something about the watch head on the Citizen doesn’t do it for me.
Congrats on completing your studies! The new camera is great too! 👌
The Green dial tissot is gorgeus! I would love to see another video with macro and maybe alternative straps👍
Congrats Jody on completing your studies, and also on getting new gear. Definately you can see the difference in video quality. As to the watches, they are both very dressy, especially the Citizen. The Tissot still has that "Field" or "Oyster" look, but the shinny links and the non clasp bracelet makes also a dressy watch. Like the green dial with the crosshairs on the Tissot, so I guess if you put it on a decent strap, it can disguised itself as a field watch. Anyway, keep up the great work!
When you were talking about all these amazing improvements, I was really hoping your jokes would be on that list.
I will live to hope another day.
Looking good Jodi! I’m excited we will get a video about your production equipment upgrade. As nice as that Tissot is I think the Citizen is the more compelling of the two.
On that topic, I’ve got my first citizen coming in the mail, not entirely unmotivated by your video on it though I’d been eyeing one a long time. It’s the Promaster NY0084 automatic diver with the green bezel. Still a deal at $189 USD.
CHEERS MATE
The citizen 9051 movement is based on the 9015. It comes with a new balance assembly, specifically to achieve higher anti-magnetism and use screw like adjustment system (similiar to ETA 2824) instead of the lever type in 9015.
The picture quality of your new setup is great! It’s like a veil has been lifted 😁👍 I also prefer the Gentleman over the PRX, not really into integrated bracelet steel sports watches…with a few exceptions. This Citizen is really nice too!
I have the tissot powermatic siver dial...one of my collection...very classy with rolexish impression on wrist...that green is pretty tho...the citizen case style is attractive wish the inices were more like the tissot but iverall very asthetic look...
Wow! That’s a fantastic new set. Congrats on the upgrade.
I appreciate all work you’re putting into your channel. Keep it up 👍🏽
loved your new setup jody!
good morning!
Mooooooooornign mate!
Hi beat Citizen would be the preference, but the Tissot looks better.
Been watching for a while and it's nice to see the production quality increase whilst you remain grounded to your principles, as always great informative content in a clear structured video
Looking sharp Jody! Both the watches and your good self too thanks to the upgraded gear! It’s a common refrain I’ve heard from RUclipsrs and content creators from all the hobbies I follow, be it watches, guitars, video games, home hi-fi, coffee, whiskey etc, it doesn’t matter how expensive we think the objects of our enthusiasm are, they pale in comparison when you price up cameras, lenses, lights etc 💸😂
Of the two watches unboxed the Citizen speaks to me the most. Looking forward to hearing more about both watches either way though!
Jody this video looks like it was filmed with my own eyes! Great setup mate. Personally I was facing a similar choice recently, and I ended up going with a Longines Conquest V.H.P. in 36mm. It’s an incredible watch that I don’t think most people know about!
What an awesome pink lights in the background!
I’m not sure I totally agree with you about the powermatic 80 being ‘a much nicer movement’ than this Miyota 9xxx series movement Jody. The Silicium version does bring increased anti magnetism to the 80 hour power reserve party, but the lack of easy diy regulation is a big no-no. You need to be careful how you hand-wind them too, as being essentially a modded eta 2824 they can suffer with the dreaded spinnng rotor when you wind caused by worn reverser wheels. My own Tissot Pan Europ with the powermatic 80 developed just this issue within a year and had to be repaired under warranty. I think the higher beat Miyota 9xxx is more robust, much more easily regulated (especially this version with the screw micro adjust) and personally I find the rotor that only winds one way and free spins the other way a non issue, unlike yourself.
Yeah Steve, I'm not a fan of the Miyota winding. I'd take the ETA every time, but each to their own!
@@JustOneMoreWatch I choose a smoother highbeat movement over the jerky P80 lowbeat.
I have heard there are questions over a Powermatic 80 and servicing/repairs. I've seen some suggest that it's not as straight forward as a tried and true 2824 which any watchmaker can easily work on. If I had the choice i'd also rather less power reserve and a higher beat rate. My watches are often rotated and sit long enough that 40 or 80 hours makes no difference to me.
@@JustOneMoreWatch Yeah me too. I have a Miyota 8215 in my PD-1639 and compared to the NH35A in my Grand Diver, it's night and day. If the Seiko feels more refined, then the ETA should be night and day.
Both are some of my favorite looking daily watches! I think the citizen is alittle more interesting looking but I would struggle to accept paying $250 more for it. If they were the same price then it would be a tougher choice. Looking forward to seeing them in more detail!
I would have the Tissot in a flash that green dial is lovely 👍 thanks Jody good video
The 80 hr power reserve is great, but it is achieved by lowering the beat rate of a 2824 calibre. For that reason, I would go with a
hi-beat Myota in the well finished and attractive Citizen case. Swiss resale is definitely better though.
Thumbs up for the new camera and lighting...till now, I had no idea what a handsome gent you are!
One thing I noticed, (though, I leave open the chance I'm wrong), is that Citizen just doesn't seem to want to sell their automatics in the U.S. Citizen watches are all over the local malls, (Macy's, JC Penney, etc.), but always quartz Eco-Drives. You have to search far and wide to find an automatic Citizen.
As for me, I just recently bought a Tissot Gentleman. One thing I haven't seen many reviewers notice is that SOME of the Gentlemen have an added dial feature, like the green you show here. Some of them have little crosshair markings between 12 and 6, and 3 and 9. It's a seemingly minor addition....but to my eye, adds a ton of visual interest. Worth seeking those out.
when you review your new equipment i would love to see you include your entire studio to include your video editing software. here in japan citizen is now offering an upscale line called "The Citizen". Have not handled one yet but they look very good. I didn't really like this particular citizen until you put it on wrist.
I will take that Citizen please and thank you! Both brands are well represented in my collection. I’ve been screaming for citizen to use their own 9000 series movements more often. I think it tops though Tissot in the ‘looks’ department, and all around package, as well. Thanks Jody!
I'd almost automatically say Tissot but this time the Citizen is the one. It just has a bit more character without overdoing it, the Tissot is unexciting to be honest. Just one thing, Citizen need to start making a lot more automatic watches. Would love to see a range that would compete on price with Seiko's new 5kx range but with a sapphire crystal as the cherry on top
I'd go with the Gent! Very refined and simple look.
Congrats, on the new gear, congrats, on finishing your degree and congrats on going full time! Talk soon!
I think I’d be happy with either one. Great job again on the review, keep up the outstanding work
The new camera was well worth the money Jody. I would choose the Tissot although I notice it now has a sector dial, and kinda on the fence with that. It’s the crown guards on the Citizen that bug me, I mean why? Why? It’s not a dive watch and it makes any symmetry go out of the window. Quite happy with the SARB though so no need really for either really.
