Haven't warn a watch for decades, but the Tsuyosa caught my eye as soon as I saw it. The case that seamlessly transforms into the band looks great and the crown at 4 o'clock makes it less vulnerable, while I find it an appealing design touch. To top it off, it has a scratch free sapphire window. I've owned the watch for have a year now and no regrets at all.

Very nice. Can never go wrong with Citizen.
I got a 61-6818 Citizen automatic watch for my late grandfather and it still operates perfectly after so many years
Back in the early 90's I took up Scuba diving. Really got hooked. Finished up just short of instructor at PADI Dive Master. Along that journey I bought a Citizen Aqualand diver. Loved it. Measured your depth in 100 mm increments, alarms for ascent speed, depth limit and time. Brilliant piece of kit. Kept going wrong though and very expensive to repair which put me off. Many years later I now have a good and eclectic collection. New to vintage. My wife has bought me a black Tsuyosa for Christmas. Feel like a little kid again, can't wait to get my hands on it.

Nice, I just got the yellow one. I like the back side of the bracelet a lot better. it would match the case size better if the bracelet would look like the underside of it. More angular and minimal

They should release a unisex size like 34mm for women or guys with small wrists. 40 is still big. Rolex has them at only 36mm.

I recently bought this watch in this very same colour and I love it. Being a woman I was a little concern that it could be a little too big for my wrist but after two weeks of wearing it feels very confortable. The reflection on the date cyclops is the only thing that annoys me about this piece. For around 280€ I think value for money of this watch is superb

What a bargain! Yes, the crown is too small, the clasp is ordinary, and the date should be at 6, but it is a bargain.

@LastWatch

Tool watches are generally brushed rather than polished, both are prone to scratching but a brushed finish hides them easier, a polished surface will show scratches and smudges more readily. Then there is the option of different metals and treatments that can add more or less protection
Butterfly clasp & 100 WR., this watch woud be perfect...

@LastWatch
6 ай бұрын
How active is your husband, for example if he sits at an office desk all day then the watch may not be getting a full wind due to his lack of movement. If that’s the case he may have to consider winding the watch manually before wearing it. If he’s on his feet all day with lots of movement the watch should run for approximately 40 hours when he takes it off, if not then it may be faulty
Round links on the bracelet while the body of the watch features a more square design is a big flaw for me on a minimalist integrated bracelet watch.
Love all the colours, but I'll have to get the white dial variant, which they released after the others. If I am not mistaken, that is, correct me if I am wrong.
