Superbly filmed & edited. The script is witty, self-aware, and very entertaining, unlike most watch channels that are either snobby, boring or a mixture of both. This has the potential to be an amazing watch channel. Please keep it up, looking forward to more uploads.
Citizen is KILLING it last couple of years. The ltd edition ones they did of the 84 chronograph with the loft as Japan release only are phenomenal too. Also loved the weird square diver you covered a while back
we have a citizen store in Vegas. If you have one, visit and get on their email list. They have incredible in-store only sales
I’m not a watch collector, but this was my first nicer watch I’ve bought, I don’t count the Fossil I bought 10 or so years ago. I had been wanting a nice watch, and I’m a space nerd so this was perfect. I would love to see more from them like this. I would definitely buy one that had other planets on the face.
They need to increase the number of Atomic Clocks to cover more areas, many countries can't receive these signals and that's a shame. That's the reason I don't buy Radio Controlled Citizen and Gshocks as much as I appreciate them. Great video Evan 👍🏼 thank you
There's an app for Android and iOS that lets out a series of high frequency bleeps and bloops from your phone's speaker and emulates the atomic tower. The watch syncs from that perfectly. Takes less than 30 seconds to complete - I simply do it every couple of weeks and my Citizens are in perfect time again.
He writes on his phone
There is what a that does what now? Really?
Yah, used it today to sync after resetting my PCAT Ecodrive.
@@YoureTerrific Yeah, it's called "radio watch sync" for Android and I think "Clockwave" for iOS.
Review was beautifully filmed and script was well put. This just might be the reason I'll buy this watch.
The uk also has a atomic time transmitter. The MSF signal is transmitted from Anthorn Radio Station in Cumbria by Babcock International, under contract to NPL. The signal covers the whole of the UK, and can also be received throughout most of northern and western Europe. It is monitored against the national time scale UTC(NPL) and corrected when necessary, ensuring that the transmitted time is always correct.
But no Citizen is set up to receive that signal, and the signal from Germany covers most of Europe and the UK/Ireland so it's okay.
Great GADA watch. I used an Eco-Drive for a number of years as my beater watch. 10 years later, throw it in some sun light and it keeps functioning.
Great watch. Citizen is one of the most underrated watch producers. I own an Citizen eco drive atomic watch since 2008. It’s still working accurately. Although it’s my daily watch it has no scratches on the cristal but many on the case. I think I‘ll wear it forever. Still waterproof!
Yes I have one also, excellent watch. I also have a satellite wave.
I love Citizens. I've had more Eco-Drive and atomic watches over the years than I have fingers. They're just so perfect "doomsday tools" as they just keep going and going no matter what. My oldest Eco-Drive was from 1981 and still working perfectly without any maintenance.
I'm particularly fond of a Citizen Skyhawk that I have. I mean, my phone and smartwatch do everything it does, but it has a different value proposition: no recharging needed.
One day after the bombs fall, society collapses and we have no electricity, I'll be the coolest dude on the block with stopwatches, alarms and timers on my wrist. Hunt for rats in the sewers? Not me thanks, I'm busy checking the time in Kuala Lumpur.
Oh, and kudos for the absolutely amazing scripts you write for these videos. Very engaging and the humor is really what separates your channel from all the other dry and boring watch channels.
if the bomb falls there will be limited sunlight, so your time checking will be limited aswell
@@onraj9mm good thing eco-drives work off the light emitted by a fire as well
I just picked one up yesterday! Amazing!!! So happy so far!
That Citizen is gorgeous. As for quartz it is the new cool especially now in the modern era of Eco-Drive watches, radio control or GPS wave time, and the added functionality in movements without the astronomical price. Even brands like Grand Seiko have embraced quartz-based movements in their mechanical watches like the famous Spring Drive movement.
Tried on the Red moon version at the WIndup watch fair and fell in love. Been scouring youtube for video reviews and bam one of my favorite watch youtubers drops a review
What if... the ENTIRE DIAL was a moonphase!? Patent pending.
I think Christopher Ward has done that.
Well they’ll be hearing from my lawyer
@@deant5006hahaha
@@YoureTerrificChristopher ward has beautiful looking moonphase watches.. Can you put in comparison of Or compilation of10 best moonphase watches that would be great
I'll do you one better, e-ink moon phase display, patent pending.
Seriously. You made me really want something that I didn't know existed before your video.
An amazing watch review for an equally good watch. Great work gentleman!
Great video. I'm glad to see this class of watch (quartz, radio-controlled) get some much deserved love. Tech is artistry too and we should be talking about it with greater frequency on brands that are not G-Shock. (The already get plenty of love and deserve it.) If you like this watch, you will really love Seiko's Aston, a satellite watch. It's pricier but has cooler and far more practical tech. It's not going to win any beauty contests but it's a lot more attractive than anything citizen has put out. It was actually the first watch I owned that got me into watches as a hobby. I loved the tech first and then got into the artistry.
Astron... ftfy. 😊
Dude you’re so entertaining, I don’t know how I’ve never knew about your channel before! I just subscribed! Keep up the good vids please and thank you!
Cheers
Great video. I’ve been watching this for a few weeks and now Macys has a big sale on it…so I pulled the trigger and ordered one. Can hardly wait for it to arrive.
Love Citizen watches! They keep the prices reasonable and yet as this watch shows they don’t skimp on complications. Also, I love this review! I’m all… Liked and Subscribed. Onward!
I did not know about this watch before. And now I desire it at an atomic level.
I just bought this watch, with the blue dial.
So far, after 3 hours with it, i can't belief how light weight it is. It's so great.
I hope this watch will last me a good 20 years!
Is it still going good for you?
And exactly how "blue" is that moon?
@@Kumar09BC it's a great watch. Great detail. The blue is pretty good, dark. A nice dark blue. Images from Hodinkee are pretty accurate.
Thank you for the werewolf rumor, one of today's good laughs. Meanwhile at the train station atomic time keeping reminded me of a book about the scientific search that coalesced in the quartz driven clock, and subsequently the wrist watch. What an accomplishment back in the day that included the first moon landing. Synchronized time was so important partly because train traffic had to be coordinated across vast lands. Now, we have the hyper accurate solar powered watches, autonomous even down to within one second a year, or atomically reinforced, but the trains are still not running on schedule, not even along a 50 mile stretch. At least we know exactly how late they are, and I will be. That is, unless they're cancelled, which on my line turns out to be about as frequently as the daily equivalent of the turns per minute that the 1978 LP record of a howling Warren Zevon spins, along with me.
I should receive mine tomorrow. Its currently on sale for $595 and they throw in a set of ear buds. Free shipping. Great vid!
Turbo encabulation gets all the credit for making things none more easy. Great watch and vid 👍
Great video (as usual) and looks like a really nice offering from Citizen.
this is on my watchlist. I just bought an eco-drive chronograph with all the bells & whistles and he loves it. Got it on sale from Citizen store at 65% off. $550 watch for $230 total or something
I have many five-figure watches. Why do I find myself strapping this on daily? I love the way it wears, the scratch resistance of the bracelet / case and the VERY useful and fun complications. Highly recommended. I never gave Citizen a second look until watching this review. By the way, it’s the only device that captures the atomic clock broadcast in my high rise condo in Arlington, VA.
ive had mine for two months and no matter where i put it in the house it has never received the atomic signal. i think it senses i live in california and is trying to figure out how to give me the signal to get the f out of this broken state. honestly, it is quite frustrating though. love the watch otherwise.
Citizen makes some great stuff. My daily beater/work watch is a Ti Skyhawk & it’s phenomenal (other than having to press two buttons at once to adjust stuff (it’s complex)).
I have a pretty good mix of quartz and mechanical watches in my collection. I've really been enjoying my recent Tissot Gentleman acquisition lately. However, I've had the red dial version of this in my cart for a few days now. My hesitation is that I've never had a titanium watch, and I enjoy the heft of a steel watch.
I agree. I’d love to see this movement with GMT settings and atomic timekeeping bundled into a few more watches. Something pilot-like, maybe a sport watch or two. Will keep an eye out for future iterations!
I picked up the red one. It's pretty slick. My first titanium watch, almost too light for my tastes. Great watch. Thanks.
Beautiful watch and amazing tech on it
As an aficionado of over-the-top Japanese radio-controlled photovoltaic watches and understated humour, I can't believe it took the algorithm a whole month to recommend this to me 🤓
@YoureTerrific you literally sold this watch to me... Just went yesterday to the store with my almost one year daughter and bought it, a keeper!
Lovely watch in all aspects. I want one!
In fact, there are six atomic clocks/transmitters for atomic watches in the world. There is also one in Anthorn UK, which broadcasts on 60kHz (MSF). Casio calls its atomic watches Multi Band 6 and can receive signals from all 6 stations. These have been on the market for many years already. Too bad of Citizen to launch a new watch in 2023 that cannot receive signals at 60kHz.
If you have a smartphone, you can have those atomic clocks transmitter anywhere in the world with you.
@@neogenesus Not exactly. The apps that simulate them adjust the watch to the clock of the phone.
Thanks for the wonderful video.
Quick question: Does the watch support time zones which are not UTC adjusted in integer difference. For e.g. India which is UTC + 5.5 Hours?
Excellent filming and editing. The only good one of this watch on RUclips.
Cool watch! I've always wanted a reasonable moon phase watch.
Citizen manufacture great products, i used eco drive for more then 10 years not a single complain or issue love to see it again
I got this watch in red and it's simply amazing beautiful dial and well worth the money! Went out of stock really quick in the UK
Extremely light compared to my other watches very similar to my plastic g shock GA2100
Is it a red dial? I keep seeing those watches that have a mix of purple in it, or that the red color is faded
Awesome sense of humor! Do you know if South Africa would have a radio signal that can update this watch?
How hard is it to set/sync this watch if you are not within the reach of an atomic time signal? What's the accuracy if it doesn't auto sync?
Just started with Watches. My First one was the CITIZEN H800. Love it. But then i have seen the Attesa Series. My Jeweler will get me the Hakuto-R. But i Already got my Eyes on 2 other Wachts of the Attesa Series. Citizen rly makes Awesome Looking Watches.
Question about the lume...do you notice it being a departure from the typical bluish citizen lume? In your vid it looks almost lightsaber green, but mine is almost like a pale version of that, and fades super fast...
There's also an atomic clock 15 minutes from where I live in Finland. Also my favourite watch is a Casio Oceanus, it's gorgeous and feels like wearing air.
Thanks for that information, I wasn't going to buy one as I live in Tallinn, Estonia and thought the nearest transmitter was in Germany. Think I will try and get one now for an Xmas present.
Pretty similar to the Casio oceANUS' barring the moonphase. Rumor has it though that Casio somehow snuck the oceANUS' in Grand Seiko's backdoor (pun intended) for some of that oh so pretty zaratsu polishing.
Nice watch. How big is your wrist again?
Preciate the review
You nailed it with this review. Nicely done. From my perspective, there is too much space on the dial dedicated to the moon phase.
OMG what an awesome watch! Must buy! Love your humour again! "Makes me angry esp on full moon" :)))
Beautiful watch
I love this! Fantastic.
Aw yeaa more citizens pls!
I like the introduction: I have manual winding, automatic, and also quartz watches. And one electronic Accutron.
Quartz is more robust, more precise, so works better for sport watches or beaters, and there's a lot of technology that comes with the HAQ such as my Grand Seiko SBGX261.
I have this in gray. The favorite watch in my collection.
I didn't like any of the finishes to the Tsukiyomi and purchased the Attesta BY1006-62E instead . No moon themed watch dial , but with a sheer gunmetal black finish and the same features , for a similar price. Super happy with the purchase.
Great review.
There are other options as well; a few years ago I ordered a Casio Waveceptor atomic watch direct from Japan. It has a solar charging watch face, and like the watch shown here, automatically sets it time from the global time keeping stations.
My watch picks up the signal from the U.S station in Fort Collins, Colorado.
The Wave Ceptor is not sold in Canada, but I was able to order it direct from Casio fo $175 CAD.
3:05 where can i buy this watch? Caliber w/ blue face & stars looks amazing!
It’s actually Tourbillon 😊
This is a nice watch. For anyone wondering about eco-drive or atomicité, I have a Citizen Eco-drive Skyhawks Blue Angel édition watch. Had it for 15 years and still works beautifully. It recently updated time to EDT on its own but in the suburbs of Montreal, far from CO tower, that doesn’t always work timely. But eventually does. What I don’t like about it is the computing dial. It’s serially printed with no groove so eventually the print wore off from rubbing on sleeves.
These days, though, I sport a mechanical marvel. Not sure I want to go back. But still love the Citizen nonetheless. It’s a solid purchase.
Is there a better use of the AM PM function or its position on the dial ?
You're crazy bro this watch is gorgeous! I had to buy it.
Nice watch titanium easy to understand citizen and good functions must say Bravissimo ☆☆☆☆☆
Another watch you've convinced me to buy . Doing my homework first I checked out the newest Seiko Astron watches and was shocked. One with similar capabilities (no moon phase) is nearly $2000 more. And sure the GPS function is cool for syncing, if you're within reach of Ft Collins every month or two does that even matter? Great new piece from Citizen. Love the gray dial as the one you featured. Mine arrives next week.
Did you like it?
I live in the Tampa Bay, Florida area, and it picks up WWVB to set the time every night.
@@ungabungus01not yet. Ended up buying a Sinn 105 UTC after seeing Evan's review. Need to accumulate more cash.
A very gentlemanly steel band mechanical watch, suitable for business travel👍
Sweet! It's on my short list!
Purchasing right now!!!!😍
I really like these moonphase Eco-Drives. Although I'm not normally a fan of watches with pushers. I'd consider the ref. BY1001-66e over this personally though. It must be said that it has a more boring dial, and a somewhat weird bracelet compared to this. But it is a bit smaller and I like the style of the pushers better. But most importantly, it has a much nicer milled clasp with an on the fly micro adjust, which you get with some of the higher end Atessa models.
Turbo-encabulators are what got me into time travel.
Also...do you notice "DR" stamped into the clasp? Any idea what that might mean?
I didn't know citizen made watches this nice
The second hand counter balance is the shape of a radio dish, used only on the Citizen watches that receive radio signal.
Love this 🌚 phase can't decide between classic, blood moon, or blue moon need to go to an AD to try it on!
I really like this one
Mitutoyo makes excellent Calipers if you are looking. Love this watch
I liked the werewolf joke, I am definitely stealing it.
I want this watch, and the tracking blood chips too.
Satellite wave GPS with Moonphase and dive dial.. Awesome combo❤
Just wondering if this is the same watch as the JDM version, but maybe without the moon background. Model BY1001-66E? Anyone know. Maybe if you don't like the moon background, it would be a good option.
The "Turbyon" got me 🤣 SUBBED!
7 inch wrist? or 7.1? 7.2? 6.8? Anyway, Citizen is coming out with some bangers. Have you seen/reviewed the Accutron spaceview?
Its a beautiful watch.
I was expecting an after credits surprise after the vid ended!!!
Wow, i thought the tech in my oceanus was the best, this is on-par and great design!!
Very nice, was looking for watch like that will fit my EDC just wish it would be 40mm or 41mm case
Great Review, honest and full of the right facts, I just need to know one thing. I have been told that this watch does not work in Australia due to the radio signals not reaching there, is that true, and if so can you manually set this watch?
The reason that I ask this, is that I owned a radio (Atomic) setting watch about 7 years ago, and although it worked in europe, it was useless in Australia.
As that was seven years ago, I thought things might have changed since then.
Also you seem to know a bit more about this watch than most, which is why I'm asking, and I'd like to know all the in's & out's before making a large purchase like this as citizen haven't been exactly been straight about this.
really like this
Pretty cool watch.
The first watch I considered "good" was a Citizen A-T. It was 10+ years ago that I got it. It's never off on time by more than a second and always chugs along. If I were smarter, it would be the only watch I own.
Love your videos but I can't wait for the day when you finally reveal your wrist size
Cool watch, even better commentary! You're hilarious.
This is so cool!!
You had turbo-encabulators in watches? How did you manage to fit a differential girdle spring AND cardinal grammeters into a small logarithmic casing WITHOUT substantial side fumbling?
Easy, if you know how!!!
@@michaeljones1475 Do you?
They use panandermic semi-boloid slots. It’s really quite simple.
I'm waiting for the day (and saving my money for) when we get the first Youreterrific collab with someone like G-Shock or Hodinkee...
Just wanted to put that into the universe!
Isn't there an atomic signal coming from the UK too?
Would it show the correct time in India?
I SUBSCRIBED after watching this video!!
There is also an 'atomic' time transmitter in the U.K.
So impressive and yet we can never have the damn seconds hand align with the indices! damn it xD
I don't know why the one in the video is not synced I have the same watch and it aligns perfectly
Loved the video and the jokes!
I don't even wear watches and I find this quite impressive
