@@misteragb7558 I agree that it’s a great watch, but to be honest I personally prefer the dial on this watch. The overall aesthetic is very sleek. Of course this is my opinion. Rock whatever suits you.
Thanks for sharing- it’s a beautiful watch and great value. I agree the blue sunburst dial is fantastic It would have been nice if you had set the day to English rather than keeping it in Japanese for the review so we could have seen what it looks like! Also if you had wound up the watch so we could see the moving second hand sweep when it was on your wrist. Only saying this because I thought generally it was a good review - very clear and a really good length and I know you might want some constructive criticism!
Did you get the strip besides from the watch? When I search for the watch I only find the blue one with a metal strip. And if so where do I find that strip?
Hey, can you tell me what leather strap that is? I really like the look of it and would like to replace the metal bracelet as well if I buy this watch. Also do you know how long it usually takes for dutyfreeisland to get items back in stock? Thank you
What is the dimension of your wrist? I have quite thin wrist unfortunately (just under 6.5"). I suits you well, so if you can reply, that would be really helpful for me. Thanks (Y)
Hey! Can you give an exact information about the lug size? On some Sites it says 19, 20, 22mm... Unfortunately Citizen doesn't have any info on their website...
It was hard finding this exact color so i had to go to my local store to pick it up. I would recommend that you go to your local store(if you have one) so you can get the right color. Regards GAW
Hi GAW, could you confirm that the strap you added was the HIRSCH DUKE BROWN ALLIGATOR EMBOSSED #010280-10 (www.longislandwatch.com/Hirsch_Duke_010280_10_watch_strap_p/010280-10.htm)? The design looks similar but not sure about the color (it might be because of the way the picture is taken though). Thanks!
Hi! I can't confirm that actually. I had to go into a store selling Hirsch and look at the straps and then pick the right color. I would recommend that you do the same. Also keep in mind that there are slight variations between the same "model". Hope you find it! Regards GAW
It only comes in stainless steel. That is a Hirsch Duke strap bought separately. Generally I am not a fan of bracelets but I recently bought this watch and the bracelet looks awesome!
What a beautiful watch! Are there retailers that carry this watch? Everyone seems to be sold out. eBay sellers are selling these without "tags" (I assume that to mean without paperwork and boxes). I am looking for reputable sellers. :/
Panda Ppanda This is a great first watch. You can also look at the Orient Curator. For an additiona $50 you'll be getting a sapphire crystal and a power reserve indicator. The coffee brown dial, if you can hunt it down, is impeccably gorgeous.
hi gaw, i love your videos, i can only got the roman numbers version , what do you think about that version ? wich one looks nicer? am i missing something really awsome? thanks
Thanks man, appreciate it! You can never be sure before you buy it of course. But i'll be very surprised if it's fake. Most Citizen watches are made in China. Most watches in this price range are either fully made in China or have Chinese parts. Nothing wrong with that. The important part is the quality control, and Citizen is pretty good at that from my experience. Regards GAW
Nothing wrong with the watch. Looks like he left it on the Japanese date option and it's still changing over at about 2:20am. He should have just set the time and day/date complication before recording the video.
Wishman Kailanathan As long as you have anything blue or brown on, you're good to go. That's assuming you switch out the steel bracelet for a brown leather strap. If you keep it on the bracelet, it goes well with pretty much anything.
There's a very similar watch from Vincero collective that is great quality and looks identical to this, which comes standard with the burgundy colored strap, instead of the steel that this watch comes with which the video maker replaced. vincerocollective.com/collections/watches/products/the-kairos-blue-brown Just plugging these guys, because I wasn't able to find this watch being sold and had a hell of a time finding a relatively cheap and good quality alternative that looks similar. The engine powering this watch is also based on Citizen's design / movement, so the quality is definitely not low at all. Hope this helps! ;)
Yea, but that one doesn't have the day of the week. It does look nice, but the day of the week is a selling point for me. Plus its quartz. Not a close enough substitute for most, I would think.
I was having problems finding an 83L as well, and started looking at vincero. But after doing some research on the brand, found Lots of negative reviews. Refocused on the 83L and found one at watches88. Ordered on a sun, had it in my hands on tues. beautiful, and gets lots of compliments.

This watch deserves more attention !
"I have long been searching for a perfect affordable blue dial watch and this is probably it" - my thoughts exactly.
Check out a seiko presage cocktail time and the even more affordable non-coctail presage.

A year or so after watching this video, I finally got one, exact same band as well - thanks for the recommendation!
whats the color or exact name of the band
I was also looking for an affordable blue dial dress watch. I got the Citizen Automatic NH8350-59L instead. Great review.
Thanks. Glad to help. Send me some pictures when you get the watch.

i bought it for 100$ and it is my favorite watch in my collection it is very versatile
I bought one at usd94 during the 12.12 sales.. thanks for the video and keep it up !
Did you get the strip besides from the watch? When I search for the watch I only find the blue one with a metal strip.
And if so where do I find that strip?
I have one inbound..Another great review! Keep up the good work!
Dude I got the Blue, white and black waffle dial and love them.
Looks better than most Omega watches
I am learning so much about watches,thanks!!!
Nice review...i'm sold on this one!
good review. can you put the link to the strap?
i think this blue dial pops more than the waffle blue dial version.
Thinking to buy it! Its very nice looking! Does it have lume for seeing the time at the night?

So, we're both looking for gorgeous blue dial... What about Orient FUNE7005B0? Any opinions? Thank you.
Hey, I subscribed to your channel, keep up the great content! Do you have any idea where I can buy this watch now?

I want an 8350. I'm just not sure what color face to go with.
what color is the strap exactly? gold brown, burgundy, or brown
It was hard finding this exact color so i had to go to my local store to pick it up. I would recommend that you go to your local store(if you have one) so you can get the right color.

Superb watch and video.
Can I change to the rubber bands made by Everest for Rolex? Leather tend to get smelly ,😢
Är du svensk?

The strap in the video used is burgundy.
The day/date window absolutely wrecks this watch. White and too close to center of dial. What were they thinking here??
i can only find it with a stainless steal strap, where can i buy it with a leather strap?
It only comes in stainless steel. That is a Hirsch Duke strap bought separately. Generally I am not a fan of bracelets but I recently bought this watch and the bracelet looks awesome!
what do you think about the nh8350-59l? i can´t find the 83L one , tanks
Like the -59l better but it's impossible to find
What a beautiful watch! Are there retailers that carry this watch? Everyone seems to be sold out. eBay sellers are selling these without "tags" (I assume that to mean without paperwork and boxes). I am looking for reputable sellers. :/
Long Island watch now has them $128 USD www.longislandwatch.com/Citizen_NH8350_83L_Watch_p/nh8350-83l.htm
The day/date window spoils the dial :-/
That blue dial is gooooorgeous 😍
Great vid and beautiful watch! Would you recommend this watch for a first watch or should I go with Seiko 5 SNKL23 or something?
Panda Ppanda I don't think you will find the snkl23
Gincrepe did they really take it out of production?
Panda Ppanda yes
Seiko premier is also worth a look..also the orient star which is an automatic.both these watches are under 40mm.
Panda Ppanda This is a great first watch. You can also look at the Orient Curator. For an additiona $50 you'll be getting a sapphire crystal and a power reserve indicator. The coffee brown dial, if you can hunt it down, is impeccably gorgeous.
Mine has a transparent case back
Can we have a link to the red brown strap
mine, slightly different model NH8350-08A, with roman numeral markers, has both wrist movement and hand winding. yours is only with the latter?
No both versions are automatic the one in the video and the new version (roman)
How accurate is it?
Could someone post a link for this watch at that price. Or at least recommend a site to keep an eye on?
"Or at least recommend a site to keep an eye on?"

hi gaw, i love your videos, i can only got the roman numbers version , what do you think about that version ? wich one looks nicer? am i missing something really awsome? thanks
Tanks for never answering :( @GAW
try longislandwatch.com I think they have this watch in stock right now good luck
they also have the strap and the deployment clasp your welcome brother
What do yôu suggest if we are looking for an automatic blue dial with daydate, lume and 42mm?
What's lume? Orient Bambino v4 blue is a good option cause i know it fits 2 out of the 3 that you mentioned. Oh whoops no day. 1.5/3
Is the movement loud?
Hi, thanks for your efforts. just want to ask if there is a citizen watch made in china with Japan Movt ? or it's a fake watch ? thanks.
Thanks man, appreciate it!
You can never be sure before you buy it of course. But i'll be very surprised if it's fake.

I want to this watch please refer to the website or link
only the movement is special in this watch?
Where do you got that strap with silver clasp?
He mentions that it's a Hirsch strap, probably the Duke.
I can't take my eyes off of what I assume is the day marker (looks like an 8) next to the date...that's, really bad
Nothing wrong with the watch. Looks like he left it on the Japanese date option and it's still changing over at about 2:20am. He should have just set the time and day/date complication before recording the video.
Can you change the strap?
Thanks very nice how many price IN INDIA
where may I buy one like this
5bar is good enough for swimming
Dat gran turismo music!
I wanto this watch in india how to buy
I'm interesting on buying it. Do you still have the seller contact info?
Huy Nguyen go to your nearest citizen watch shop they probably have it.
Just came in...mine looks black
Great!, you have the link for strap? Thanzs!
1430sl It's a Hirsch. Look it up on Long Island Watches.
thanks!
it's really good information, thanks mate
Beautiful watch, but the crystal seems to be a fingerprint magnet.
Nick K All crystals are, the dial color and the lack of gloves just makes it more obvious in the video.
what clothing matches with this watch?
Wishman Kailanathan As long as you have anything blue or brown on, you're good to go. That's assuming you switch out the steel bracelet for a brown leather strap. If you keep it on the bracelet, it goes well with pretty much anything.
beautiful
Automatic ....clasp wow 👏
i'm searching for this watch for ages. Can anyone suggest a trusted shop to buy one?
BballLife Long Island Watches has just had a restock of them
To me it says "sold out"
got mine from watches88.
Dutyfreeisland. Link is in the description.
instead of saying boring (about the case or back) I prefer to say "elegant". Minimalist is elegant.
Isn't it a little bit too thick for a dress watch?
Paweł Lewandowski makes a good office watch
Paweł Lewandowski That's really just a matter of taste and wrist size. If you have average sized wrists, this would still look splendid.
Slapping a Miyota 8 series in it makes it a Parnis but three times the price.
What is the width of the strap?
20mm, according to the review.
I can't find this watch anywhere
Neither can I!

Awesome, thanks!
No problem at all :) I just double checked, and it is Japanese and Eng.
No, it's English/Chinese. Though if you buy it from the Americas it'll most likely be English/Spanish.
It is exactly chinese letter
Where can i get this watch? Some information?
J.L Hoffy where can I get the band
Đẹp thế
I don't understand how anyone can wear a watch where he's wearing it, on top of the bone on his wrist, so uncomfortable.
where do you wear it?
Glen Daly is there somewhere else to wear it?... pretty sure a watch goes on the wrist. Any further up the arm would be weird
A half inch above the bone is considered normal.
Relax Glen.....you wear your watch....where ever you want.
Sexy watch for the price
200usd???
Sorry dude but ORIENT SENTINEL model no. FAC05002D is far more better than this one and its cheaper tho :))
Haha märkte att du var svensk direkt asså😂😂
The dial is ruined by the day&date
There's a very similar watch from Vincero collective that is great quality and looks identical to this, which comes standard with the burgundy colored strap, instead of the steel that this watch comes with which the video maker replaced.

I don't trust Vincero anymore because of theie business policy
Vincero...go away from it

How accurate is it?
It has a Miyota 8205 which are +/- 10 to 20 seconds a day depending on temp and altitude
