"CITIZEN BEATS GRAND SEIKO! (3hz, 40hr, low accuracy, stamped clasp)" A solid PRX rival but not really a GS rival is it? Come on BB - you're better than these click bait titles 😂
Citizen has their spotlight since a long time ago. Great history, innovations, and achievements in horology, a lot of people just don't know about it. I've Citizen Attesa ATD53-2841 with the features like sapphire crystal (anti-reflection coating glass), antimagnetic, perpetual calendar, titanium, hard-coating band, eco-drive, radio controlled, duratect (scratch resistant), got it second-hand just for $50! Swiss-made just never on that level of insanity price worth comparing to some japanese watches.
As an independent watch repairman I just love the Citizen/Miyota movements as they are so well designed and reliable. I take a Miyota movement over a Seiko movement any day, and the Seiko movements are pretty darn good!
Miyota movements are what watchmakers call a throwaway movement… it’s not even worth the time and effort to fix one versus just buying a replacement and being done with it…
Thank you. Another great video. Interestingly I’m a hardcore Grand Seiko collector (10+) and I recently fell for a Citizen chronomaster in titanium. Crazy specs (washi dial on a solar quartz with perpetual calendar, insane accuracy, zaratsu polishing), gorgeous looks and design, and half the price of a basic GS 9F…
@BR81-iv6lt you realize there's people that can afford nice things and feed thier kids right? Not everyone is in the shitty situation as you. Drying doing better instead of hating people that are
I recently bought the Citizen Attesa Moonphase AT, and I absolutely love it. The finishing of the titanium is amazing. With the protective coating, there are no marks on the finish, and I've hardly taken it off for several months.
Fantastic review!! Citizen is really nailing it with their releases lately - this and the AW0130-85ZE with the Salmon dial are probably my favorites so far!
The watch itself looks like Iwc ingeniour but the dial looks like an OP. Fantastic job Citizen. Normally I’ll only go for higher end watches but citizen made a fantastic watch here
One of my favorite watch reviews from one of my favorite reviewers. Great footage and I think Citizen has been on a roll lately. Citizen is doing what Seiko simply can’t anymore, it’s offering good quality at their affordable price.
I own citizen nb1060 and i think the dial is one of the most beautiful dials ever created. This one in particular is astonishing as well. Hope they will make more of such watches in the future!
I was already thinking about this one. Really nice watch with a beautiful dial color, like a tropical turqoise bay!! 38/39mm preferred and shame they did not use a higher beat 9 series movement. Thanks man!
Impressed ! ... good to see Citizen waking up & shaking up things in the market offering some nicely thought out & well put together pieces at a sensible price. i think the clasp would be a fair niggle but other than that what's not to like .
Thanks for the review! What a gorgeous watch! Such a pity that it is again so oversized... If it had a reasonable size (36 - 38 mm) I'd buy it without thinking twice.
At the beginning of my watch collection I tried an NH35, then I been only collecting solar watches most of them (90%) Citizen titanium, just one Seikona.. But this last release from Citizen is very tempting. Citizen is offering fresh designs with great specs at affordable prices, I'm just waiting for calm down the hype for this automatic release
I decided to buy watches with manually wound mechanical movement or solar quartz movement. However, there are so many interesting watches with automatic movement. So tempting.
Just wanted to thank you, this video introduced me to this watch and after months of scouting I finally got my hands on it. And I really love the watch! I have the GS Sakura as in your thumbnail as well. They're not really comparable and it's no killer at all. But still an insane value for the money and a great watch that just gets more beautiful as you wear it.
I bought one of these for my wife in the last days and it looks really nice and well built. If you put also the price into the equation, it becomes almost unbelievable!
Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops! amzwatch watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.
Andrei my first watch given to me by my now late father, was a 1970 Citizen manual date watch wayyyyy back in 1972! I still have it now & recently had it serviced. Honestly I only knew the Citizen brand here in Australia at that tender age of 10!🤪This new titanium auto is a definite to add, especially with those specs let alone the price!🤩👍🏻
As someone with modest income I used to look at Seiko and Orient...they were cheaper than Citizen for roughly the same specs. Now that Seiko has moved upmarket Citizen has caught my eye these last few years. I've also looked at microbrands too. But Citizen has really knocked it out...but I do wish some of my favorite Citizen watches didn't have integrated lugs. I would like the option to switch out to bands.
Citizen has been hitting home runs in the last couple years! I'm really glad I didn't yet buy a Tsuyosa and discovered this watch. This is far better in just about every way. I'm very impressed with the build quality of this watch at this price point! It even has a sapphire! Citizen has had a reputation of putting mineral glass on most of their watches and I expected this to have glass as well but I'm glad Citizen surprised me on this aspect as well. I will definitely be picking one of these up! Too bad they are not available in the US right now. Like the Tsuyosas, Citizen may offer these watches in the US a few months after the initial release to other markets. Thanks for the review. It was helpful.
Hello there! Just discovered your channel I like your genuine enthusiasm which is kind of rare to find these days Excellent production quality is an added bonus
Éste está muy bonito pero me enamoró el Tsuyosa blue small second y lo compré hace dos semanas, me parece increíble que un reloj así cueste 318€ en España, el dial es increíble y el movimiento con tan solo 5 Segundos día desviación(el mío claro) es increíble con sus 60h de marcha. Éste de titanio la verdad también se ve genial. Citizen está tomando nota de Seiko en la elaboración de esferas y quizá se dio cuenta que los solares tienen un nicho de mercado pero los automáticos también otro. Que sigan por este camino ya que con los precios de Seiko a no ser que sean Seiko 5 y unos Orient últimamente descafeinados en originalidad y diseño…. No hay mucha opción si no quieres gastarte más de 400€ en un buen reloj mecánico de marca reconocida fiable, robusto, Bonito y con elegancia. Saludos!!!
I love the content on this channel, with affordable pieces that are often overlooked, and are more interesting than the usual Ali Express stuff that other channels cover.
I'll probably buy that salmon day/ date version. Citizen is my overall favorite brand, they go from cheap solar to Promaster divers to The Citizen 0200 with an La Joux Perret movement all the way to Arnold and Son and Angelus. They are so underrated. They have better QC than Seiko, as a matter of fact I've never seen a misaligned anything on a Citizen, hell even the crown on my Promaster diver always screws in logo up. They didn't need to do that. They have great lume, lots of options... you really can't go wrong and I am glad they're finally getting the attention they deserve.
It's dope - but if I'm buying an automatic, i want that large second hand so i can enjoy the sweep. I only like the small seconds hand on pocket watches.
I like every video of yours. Kept aside how well u explain and create hype and deliver. I really like the watches u showcase and maybe its just same viewpoint of us.
After several months of searching for my “perfect watch,” I think I found it. And I would also consider this a field watch to some extent. Hear me out… The watch is 39.5mm, has a day, date, sapphire crystal, great luminous hands, 200m water resistance, screw-down crown, titanium bracelet, quick adjustable clasp with a fold over safety clasp, perpetual calendar, and is radio controlled (the radio control only works in Japan, but you can get an app that can sync it. Also, the perpetual calendar works without the radio control feature; I just tested it this past February to see if it would go to the 29th, then change to the 1st, AND IT DID!) and lastly, is an Eco-Drive (solar)! The watch is the Citizen Promaster Land, reference PMD56-2952 Japanese Domestic Model. I had mine imported through Chrono24 and it is definitely my favorite watch!
The biggest difference in these two watches is the Grand Seiko is way more accurate. Citizen however makes the most accurate wrist watch in the world, the Caliber 0100, for $6,000.00.
I wish they'd release eco drive versions of all of these. I get that automatic watches fit the higher end market better, but I love the idea of having a nice watch that's super accurate and powered by light.
Khem... spring drive. Compared to miyota 8 it's night and day. Spring drive is a great leave and forget it movement ....until it needs servicing in japan....
Citizen are smashing it lately, the eco drive chronograph on the integrated design looks very good too, I'll be curious to see a review on their more expensive pieces like series 8 or le to see how they quality compears to seiko or other mid tie, great review as usual and cute cat btw
Citizen have always made good watches. I recently got a Citizen bullhead chronograph. The original 70's one, not a reissue. I have a Citizen diver from 1977. It's actually better than Seiko's from that period. It's automatic with hand winding and hacking. 👍
Seems like now is a great time to get a Citizen watch. They've been hitting a lot of customer demands lately while backing it up with competitive prices.
Great looking Citizen, it would go perfect with my Fujitsubo! Funny thing, I'm in my mid 30's and have always loved watches. I've been fortunate enough to own nicer brands like Breitling, Omega, Cartier and Tag. But getting started, I always had Citizen watches. It was my gateway into watches because I couldn't afford much more. I used to love the pro-master and blue angel editions (they were always in the magazines), even the Atomic time models. But now that I'm older, I appreciate Citizen watches even more than before. You get to a point in life where you can appreciate expensive watches without having the want or need to buy them. With releases like this green dial above, and unique brands like Lorier, I don't have any plans to spend more than $1000 on a watch going forward and I'm actually happier that way.
I bought the salmon dial a few days ago, at 20%off already. It is a great watch..the only thing letting it down is the clasp - the inner part is just cheap and badly finished.
@@BraveBeaters I like the outter part of the clasp. When closed/on the wrist it is ok and it matches the watch look - a big diver's milled clasp wouldn't look good (they have those in titanium). But the inner part is just folded titanium and it feels/looks pretty cheap. I'd rather have a butterfly clasp to be honest, like the ones they are doing on the new Tsuyosa models. The inner arms on those are thick and milled. I guess they don't have it in titanium though. It is fine for what it is and for the price of the watch, but it definitely could have been better.
Now i have seen the review 3 times and it’s get better and better 😇, i have curiosity, the clasp? What are they doing pressed 🤔? Everything looks luxurious, quality, finishing and then the clasp 🫣.. come on Citizen 🤷🏻
Why oh why they don’t do anything to the crown. Same as in Seiko it looks like it’s been replaced from a different watch. Like a crown for every watch if you missing original one from…your watch. Thank you for another great video😀
Well done Citizen. They are doing a great job filling the 'value proposition' void that Seiko left behind.

This is a Grand Seiko Spring drive.. it's an abomination to have these 2 watches compared aside from MAYBE the dial texture.

The inner arms on those are thick and milled. I guess they don't have it in titanium though. It is fine for what it is and for the price of the watch, but it definitely could have been better.
Looks superb ! Just picked one up! It’s a no brainer at that price!
Now i have seen the review 3 times and it’s get better and better 😇, i have curiosity, the clasp? What are they doing pressed 🤔? Everything looks luxurious, quality, finishing and then the clasp 🫣.. come on Citizen 🤷🏻
Yeah don’t spoil the ship for aypeth a tar!!!!!
The claps looks good and works decent.
Every watch YTer targeting the lower end loves the ‘Seiko killer’ Seiko crusher’ titles.
That dial is on point Andrei! Wow look at that! I was wondering if I should get the Series 8 but this is super pretty!
Honestly? This one looks better than the series 8
@@BraveBeaters I think you are right my friend.
Why oh why they don’t do anything to the crown. Same as in Seiko it looks like it’s been replaced from a different watch. Like a crown for every watch if you missing original one from…your watch.
Thank you for another great video😀
Should be re-titled to “Citizen joins the PRX integrated 70s sports watch bandwagon like everyone else”
At this point it's just a style of watch more than a band wagon. Field watches, dive watches, integrated bracelet sports watches, dress watches, etc.
Per the title, I didn't know Grand Seiko makes a $370 Titanium watch. I will make sure to grab one soon 😂
