Well done Citizen. They are doing a great job filling the 'value proposition' void that Seiko left behind.

New to watches, what do you mean exactly when you say " the 'value proposition' void that Seiko left behind."? Is Seiko not good value anymore? Edit: Context, when I watch videos about value watches, Seiko gets mentioned almost every single time.

@@skirt_skirt Yes, Seiko prices have gone up several rungs in recent years, arguably without the equivalent increase in quality.

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!

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.

I've said many times, if you want a watch that would not disappoint you and never break a bank with cheaper to need almost no maintenance -- Citizen

Bravo citizen. This is the first big brand watch that ive liked, that gives any micro brand a total run for the money.

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!

I love your videos man, keep it up! This watch looks amazing.

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!!!

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.

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 prefer the eco drive since in 19 years of heavy usage i never had to service it . The original battery still going on !

Nice watch! Even nicer photography!

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 really smashing it out of the park last couple of years. Lovely designs and very reasonable pricing.

If the Citizen Logo is embossed, it's perfect

I really wish it didn't have the pointless reminder that it's "Automatic Titanium" on the Dial.

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.

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.

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😀

Sick watch really like it!

Very tempting

Citizen has been killing it recently. Ya love to see it.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out the small seconds in this model is hackable, unlike some websites state opposite.

The watch looks stunning! And so classy. Wow! But.. in uk it cost 420-450 gbp . England…

Damn that thing is nice, I wish they had a slightly smaller size but I might have to buy that beauty

I just had a closer look at these online and they are marked "Japan Mov't.," not simply "Japan," on both the dial as well as the caseback. It's amazing how easy it is to keep something under €370 when employing dime an hour Chinese labour.
