Islander watches has a few sub $500 watches that rival any brand for quality. Some have the Miyota 9000 movement.

Citizen is probably the best watch brand for budget

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.

eco drive is actually god tier for what it is.. cheap, reliable, precise. no downsides

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.

When one of my favourite channels uploads... I click immediately! ;) I loved this comparison! For the pricepoint, that Citizen is REALLY DANG GOOD!

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 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.

You buy Rolex to impress others. You buy Citizen to impress yourself.

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 have the ''tiffany blue'' one, opened it, played a little bit with the raquette, and now it goes at plis minus three seconds 👌

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. 👌🏼

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.

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.

the movement with gold finish looks beautiful.

Citizen Eco drive Nighthawk.. aesthetics, functionality and durability 💎

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.

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.

Beautiful watch!!❤️

I love the citizen. Mine is with Black dial🎉

Awesome watches. I got two already😍

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.

I want these bad, also you would fall in love with the Citizen NB-1050s

The Christopher ward c63 Sealander 36mm was a great alternative to the Rolex when it was as available, but do have other colours available.

Wooow wooow I will buy one citizen watch full color . Thanks 🙏

I will be buying the orange one so excited

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.

i got the yellow dial, looks incredible under direct sunlight

Thats a great looking watch, looks better than the OP IMO. I'm really over boring oyster bracelets. If that Citizen had the 9000 movement, and was made of titanium, it would be perfect, although dearer.

What is the Swiss secondhand marketplace where you buy your watches?

Tolle Uhr für kleines Geld. Ich mag das Bild im Hintergrund. Hast Du das selbst gemacht oder kann man es irgendwo kaufen?

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

i'm wondering if there is a better bang for buck watch in existence in this price range at all.... beautiful piece

I have the green dial one and its awesome for the price 250 Euros only

This one is really nice but, Citizen nb1050 is a wonderful watch!

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.

I would love to see a review of the Christopher Ward C1 Bel Canto🤩

Does anyone know how this would wear on a 7.5 inch wrist?

Thought I clicked on wrong channel for a second lol cool piece

i bought the yellow and aqua blue ones

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!

Citizen is 🔥🔥🔥

Well, at least Citz is also co-found by a Swiss guy, so I believe it's not out of concept from your channel ;)

How did get Rolex Oyster for so cheap I can see it everywhere at thrice the price.

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.

How is your watch experiences..??

I choose the green one.

Is it legal to wear a watch other than Swiss made in Switzerland? 😁

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 ???

Even if I could afford the Rolex, I’d still go with the Citizen as it looks better.

Wer braucht eine Uhr? Bei den alles wollmilchsaeuen Handhelds?

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 dial work from Seiko and Citizren will put some swiss watches to shame.

Весело, но поверхостно.

Is Toyota Corolla an alternative to Mercedes-Benz S-Class, maybe ?

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.😊😊

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.

From the photo the citizen has a better looking yellow than the Rolex.

The cyclops ruins it for me

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.

Trust me. Wait for the Rolex.

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 .
