    I tried a bunch of these on at Chicago Windup and was really impressed. Yes, the clasp is pressed, but that's not something I notice on wrist. The bracelet is very comfortable and the clasp not hard to close (take note microbrands at the same show I won't name). It looks great on wrist, and yes it's not overly big. In fact, I enjoyed it so much I tried all the colors on other than black. For reference, I have around a 7 inch wrist. Would I love to see 100m WR and a 9000 series movement? Sure, but I'd also want a milled clasp at that point and then we're talking a $600+ watch that's now in Tissot PRX Powermatic territory. I think this is a brilliant move. As for the PRX, I know it may be a tough sell with Tissot after they came out with Powermatics galore in 40 and 35mm, but I'd love to see a 37.5-38mm PRX Powermatic. I can wear the 40, but a touch smaller would be brilliant.

    I like the look a lot, but I really wish they would have gone with a 9000 series Miyota movement instead. They really aren't that much more expensive, and they could have shaved a mm or two off the thickness. Just a thought. Great vid as always, Bruce!

    Bruce, great video. Was considering going with the nb1050 given the 100m wr, JDM made in Japan, better 9011 movement. However, I prefer the aesthetics of this watch much more. Do you know where they assemble these watches? I know the 8210 movement is made in Japan but not sure where Citizen makes or assembles these. I have a Rolex op39 in white but I love the look of this watch and want a splash of color. Thanks!

    To me it looks like a decent watch overall, but I can't get past the incongruence of the angular lugs into a rounded-link style bracelet. I think it would've looked a bit better with an angular-link bracelet to match the case lugs. I also think Citizen could've done something a little bit different by placing the date cyclops inside the crystal, instead of on top of the crystal.

    I hope they are just testing the waters with this one,and figuring out if they can lock horns with Tissot. Maybe that's why they've released it with an average bracelet, pressed clasp and an 8 series movement - to keep the price below even the PRX quartz model. In order for Citizen to produce a truly definitive integrated bracelet watch in the relatively affordable price range (and dethrone the PRX), they would need to release another version at 37 or 38mm (which is a sweet-spot size that Tissot doesn't offer), bring out the 9 series Miyota, and either bring their bracelet a-game or release the whole thing in super-titanium (it would probably have to be either one or the other since it would make zero sense for the watch to be more expensive than the PRX auto).

    I love my Citizen watch collection. I appreciate you reviewing the Tsuyosa. The one question I have since I haven’t tried one on, is does it feel solid weight wise on your wrist like the Rolex OP? I did want to buy a Rolex OP at retail, but Rolex has made sure to limit the supply and ensure the OP sells for five digit figures on the secondary market. So the Tsuyosa may be a nice beater watch for the collection.

    I can't understand why the so called 'affordable' watch segment now starts over USD 350? Just a few years ago, the Orient (Bambino & Mako) and Seiko (Sports 5 & SKX) used to cost well below this mark (hell, you could get an entry level Seiko Sports 5 for lesser than USD 200) ? The Seiko Prospex Turtle now costs well over USD 600 for its poor 4R36 movement. I am not talking about second hand or grey market watches. Is it due to demand, economics or just manufacturer's greed? As for your question Bruce, I wouldn't go for these Tsuyosa pieces at this price point- The crown at the 4'0 clock position looks cheap. They look like a Rolex oyster perpetual knockoff and don't think these will age very well. I would save my money for a Tissot PRX automatic instead.

    Dear Bruce Williams please stop sending giveaways President solid 18K gold Rolex with your Telegram channel it’s very annoying. I do not wear yellow gold watches and I never liked Rolex anyway. It’s very annoying because since I am watching your channel I thought you knew more about my personal tastes with the algorithms. Whatever. No Rolex yellow gold for me. Tnx
