They REALLY did THAT! | Citizen Tsuyosa NJ-0151-81 Collection Review 

Kudos to Jenny for being partial, yet submitting to Gumbi's wisdom

I thought of it as a "cat scan."

@@jsusna1972 Badum-bum!

😂

tbh i was expecting a gubel paw rising from under the table to jiggle the bracelet.. but, it'll suffice

I love Gübi

Yeh I think the integrated band on the prx is just much better

But these are cheaper. Automatic prx is costly.

The tissot prx is unoriginal, ots basically a cheap royal oak. This is much much better

I own both a Powermatic 80 PRX (blue dial) and a Citizen Tsuyosa (yellow). The PRX is miles ahead imo, but it costs 3x more, so it should. Even the quartz PRX costs considerably more than the Automatic Citizen. Citizen offers great value - this is a watch that you can easily buy under 250bucks and you are getting the integrated bracelet design, a sapphire crystal and a reliable movement (the new versions even hack - mine doesn't actually, it's one of the first batches). I don't think the PRX is "the main pronlem" to this Citizen - they can definitely coexist and the Citizen is getting to a market that the PRX doesn't.

I definitely agree with you, my friend. The same watches with the same colours as exactly same as these ones must be created with Quartz versions as I personally do not like automatics falling behind in time due to their very mechanism.

Totally agree! Don’t like large watches anymore.

No

The size is just right. It doesn't wear big.

@@yongye1122 I agree.

They need a 34-36mm version for people who like classic style.

I associate Citizen with busy overdesigned chronograph watches unfortunately, even though some of their designs are really nice that's what I see in jewelers windows.

Ah, but 44/45mm is my sweet spot. Yay Citizen!

Agreed with you, Citizen does get overlooked. When I went to college, Citizens were generally worn by students on a budget and you could buy them at discount stores along with Timex. The company, like the other brands, tends to reserve some of their better designs and finished watches for their domestic market, but if you're willing to order from oversears you can get some great deals on watches that will be unique in many countries. Currently I'm looking at a Citizen Mechanical Silver Leaf Lacquer Dial NB1060-12 (JDM) watch with a dial that rivals that on many of the Seiko Presage line. The blue-green dial makes me feel like I'm looking into a deep pool of water. Runs about $700 USD so competitive with many of the Presage line.

@@hibernopithecus7500 I am happy for you, but as a guy with embarrassingly small wrists, watches with a width of 44 mm and above starts to look cartoonishly large on my wrists. The only watches that I will wear that are that large or larger are Casio G-Shocks as they have a tactical look, and appearing large and muscular is part of their appeal. However for the more dressy or casual look 38mm to 41mm is ideal for me.

@@balesjo Thanks for informing about the Silver Leaf. It looks beautiful and definitely can rival the Seiko Presage - a line of Seiko that I love and, of which, I own two. Speaking of higher end Citizens, I have grown particularly fond of Citizen's Attesa line. They strike a nice balance between dress and sporty.

One of the most subtly striking watches I’ve seen in a while is the Axiom BM7580-51L, as recently featured on Watchfinder’s “Watches Under $300” videos. As a technical design, it struck me as something that was designed by a Zoomer who was tasked with designing a watch that someone in the 70s thought watches would look like in 50 years. And from a more “romantic” (for want of a better word) perspective, it’s like that person whose blended in with your environment for years suddenly getting a hair style or wearing an outfit that, while not killer, perfectly accentuates their best feature, but then they go back, only now you notice them first everywhere & can’t remember why. See, now, that’s not supposed to happen with a Citizen 😄

Citizen was making interesting watches before you were born son

dude its literraly a 1978 citizen reedition ; you kids are so ignorant .

Get the bambino, total class.

They will become seiko … an overpriced brand after some time

@@dostoevsky90 OS is underpriced, if they charge more for their watches will be fair

Owned by seiko

@@ekimandersom4478 yes, but is a whole different brand completely independent

This. I'm waiting for this. Need a replacement for my existing ecodrive, I broke it in an accident ;-;

If you wear it daily you won’t have an issue with it stopping so eco drive isn’t really important.

@@troxigg Eco Drive's are way more accurate if accuracy is important to you.

Eco-Drive still need the battery replaced regularly. That sucks

After a year, how do you find it? I thing is my next watch

@@aminabellalvaradoaguero9190 i sold it a couple of weeks ago. I found it to be to big for me.

Or... Just buy both!?

The other dails are not the from the same line. But also amazing! De other colors are from the 88 line. This is the 81 line if i am correct.

I'm waiting for the white dial version I just bought to arrive....any long term thoughts since owning yours?

Lucky to find the yellow. Impossible to buy it now.

screw down crown or gasket? I'm thinking about getting the white dial. this watch interests me. does it wear big? I have a smaller wrist but 40mm usually sits fine enough. thanks.

No, it's not It's similar, but neither the case nor the size nor the dial are the same. In fact, even the Miyota movement is a more modern version, 8210 vs 8200

@TheChzoronzon Citizen Eagle 7 did launched an exact case design for this new Tsuyosa, probably in mid or late 80's. Of course, the case is smaller at that time, and yes, the dial design is different and at that time, they use the 8200 with day date complication. This new Tsuyosa is an upgrade version to the original in terms of a larger case size, a Sapphire glass, solid bracelet, a very clean dial design without the day & the Eagle 7 logo and a different movement with a date complication only.

@@iXus78 I can't find any case from back then that is EXACTLY the same in their old catalogues... just some SIMILAR, as I said. But if you want to post the precise Reference, I'll check :) Or link to a pic, if that's easier for you

Leave internet , or better don't use , you understand Exactly 0

Can you tell the name of the german store? Thanks

There’s a £400 difference between the 2 lol it’s not comparable

Is it pineapple, banana or lemon jello?

The unfavorable critique of the clasp is an overstatement. Don't get me wrong, the clasp could be better, but I appreciate the micro-adjustment. The only thing the Prx does better is the clasp and how it fits on the wrist; the lugs on the Prx have a better angle, so it hugs the wrist better. The lugs on the Citizen are short and don't have a sharper angle, creating a small space where the bracelets and lugs connect. I don't understand why RU-vidrs give PRX automatic so much hype. The movement is not even serviceable. It is a con; they try and sell you the idea that this is a watch you can pass down a few generations because the build is excellent at an affordable price, but to service these watches, all that happens is they switch out the entire movement. Modern attitudes about watches may find it acceptable to call the watch the original watch even if the whole movement was replaced and not actually serviced (fixing/replacing just the broken part.) The parts are from China. It costs about 20$ to 30$ to make.

+ of course the cyclops is very reminiscent of the oyster datejust/daydate. Love that feature too 😅

Well said.. seiko these days is overpriced and esp in india its a worthy market after 65-70k INR….
