Is THIS Citizen Watch a Rolex Alternative for JUST $350? 

🙏🏻

Thanks a lot

Citizen website search sucks. Keyed in nj0150 - sorry no results. Sad.

@@WestCoastAce27 Because it's not global models and only available in certain country. Not all Citizen website will have info.

@@iXus78 thank you. I wish the video maker had mentioned that at the start.

Thanks. Should be in the description

seriously, why review something and not list the item#. Thanks!

Thank you

Geez finally!

Thank you sir. You're doing the lord's work.

Yeah fucking greedy monsters. They’re giving rolex a bad reputation with their orchestrated supply shortage to push the price up.

What's that?

Yeah I used to love Rolex, now I hate them, especially the greedy ADs

I am absolutely in love with my Citizen Eagle 🟢green dial

I was HOPING for it to be a quartz watch instead. Hard to find nice looking, inexpensive and high quality quartz watches nowadays. GS reserves all their nicest designs for automatic/spring drive lines. And if their quartz model looks nice then it's a limited edition and super expensive. Citizen Chronomasters on the other hand are a bit too expensive for watches that you cannot service anywhere (if you live in EU).

Im waiting for a solar quartz with sweeping seconds hand!👌🏻

I have a small collection of watches (about 25). Most of them are citizen, one or two are other makes and about 5 or 6 are total crap (£10 to £30). My citizens hover around the £700 mark and are all solar powered (eco drive). The first citizen I bought was a stiletto for my then wife as an every day wear. I was so impressed with it that after our divorce I bought a titanium skyhawk while working on a site. After 20 odd years it is still going strong but recently I have had to have a new capacitor fitted. First quote was £120 and a couple of days later was amended to £200! I went ahead anyway. Prior to that, because it had had a rough life it was covered in scratches, mostly on the glass (I could hardly read the time it was so bad) and on the clasp with a few on the bracelet. Asked for a quote for a new bracelet and clasp and got one for £300! Settled for a new clasp at £40. This was before super titanium and sapphire glass. I don't know why citizen keep pushing the 'no battery to change' myth. The capacitor is a battery! Rechargable but still a battery of sorts. I have had to get my capacitors changed (under warranty) for 4 or 5 of my other citizen watches. The advantages of the capacitors are radio control, using the stop watch without running the power down (with normal battery power you run the risk of having to get a new battery fitted earlier). To say that there's no battery replacement required is incorrect and they're a lot more expensive than no rechargable. A typical capacitor change is £120! And they are citizen service centre only (says so on the case back). Still, I love my citizen watches, especially my bullheads, of which I have 4. I have one Casio wave cepter in titanium which cost me £112 a few years ago. I'm afraid that, apart from the build quality (pressed metal) on the clasp, but it still works well, it leaves all my other watches in the shade. Back to my main point which is that Citizen make wonderful watches but my god they're expensive to maintain and the capacitor issue. They don't last for ever!

Check out Citizen’s chronomaster collection. Eco drive, High Accuracy Quartz +-5s/year.

Waiting for a hand wound Smart Watch ! 🤣

Exactly I see this less as a Rolex Killer (TM) and more of a competitor against the PRX auto. It's going to wear more similarly to the Tissot.

I can’t even swim but am drowning in dive watches

Have you seen the Citizen Series 8? Specifically, "NA1010-84X". Check it out.

@@martin4374 will do!

@@martin4374 it looks great but at 1 to 2k I'm good

Where can I get one of these?

how is it?

Same 👍

Where did you purchase the watch?

I’m in U.K. I’ve got the H820. The bracelet is amazing and the ‘ecodrive’ watch, although difficult to set up without the help of RU-vid videos brilliant, is fantastic. I wore it to my dad’s funeral as I didn’t want “Siri” from my Apple Watch shouting random phrases out!

Same here - what is the model name/reference? Can't find that anywhere... Is it citizen Toyota?

Yup the yellow has me wanting one today!

@@PeteManabat Sweet thx :)

I think it may not happen. This watch has been available for a year or so, but only in southeast Asia - except Japan. It's only gotten harder to find and more expensive. Hope it has an actual domestic release but I'm skeptical.

this yellow gold dial version is very difficult to get ..... i am in singapore. it ran out in late 2021 or early 2022 all over singapore. with the Silver , white and Green dial left mostly only . but i managed to get 1 piece for around S$430 in early 2022. then recently i heard some singapore some online sellers got some restock from citizen again. not sure how fast these will be snapped up again .

If you'd want to see a Seiko 5 punching way boyond their pricepoint, take a look at the SNKL43 and SNKL45 models. They have more complex cases and look lika a baby Grand Seiko after swapping the bracelet for a solid link one

@@kjb9001 really hard to beat that watch for ~$100

He Gringa! Yes a damn good looking watch indeed. Would like the know the reference number of the gold plated. Cant find it. And now bakc to your channel🫢🤪

Hey Britt! I know your videos are focused on high end horology, but I think it could be interesting having your opinion on some iconic entry to mid level pieces. Best wishes! 😁

Citizen is a nicer brand than Seiko, they just don't market themselves much outside of Japan, and their high-end stuff is sold only in the Japanese domestic market. The Chronomaster is a work of art that is nicer than most Grand Seikos, but is still undiscovered in the west much like GS was ten years ago. And they are one of the few brands always trying to push the limits of how good a traditional quartz watch can be. In the west they seem to just quietly sell their more entry level eco-drive watches that still last for three decades without issues and have impeccable finishing, without ever seeming to market them to watch people.

Get an automatic Tissot prx instead of this

What is the model number?

@@GarrySkipPerkins The one with the textured black dial is NJ0155-87E

₹32,900 to be exact

I recon hmt should be able to come with a similar looking peice

Thanks! Whats the refrence # ? Considering buying. After your review im not sure how to feel. What do you think of Tissot PRX ? I love the steel but thinking go gold but im worried it will look tqcky and cheesy 🤔

@@mrburnz22 i looked it in person. Its great watch. Also fits well.

Damn, such a pity they didn't go 38

Yeah looks to wear very big.

This is disappointing

And I really loved the design of the OQ

Oysterquartz was a rip off of royal oak yo

@@1148bucknasty Oysterquartz was designed after the Rolex Texan Quartz which was designed by Gerald Genta who also designed the Royal Oak and the Nautilus.

Where from?

Whats is the code plis?

@@yordansihura2850 the reference number is: nj0150-81z

@@RichardWestmoreland I know someone who works at a jeweler that sells Citizen as well as other brands. Just asked him and he ordered one for me.
