100% agree! Very unique design as well!

Interesting! I've had no issues so far and it's been almost 2 years since I've been wearing it...

@RageAgainstTime I guess each person has a different wrist. But the caseback is much smaller than the rest of the case and the "cushion" sides of the case rests on my wrist, which I haven't experienced with bronze watches from more established brands.

Sorry to hear. I don't wear this watch much during the summer so maybe it could be due to sweat?

@@RageAgainstTime could well be, but as I said don't have the issue with other bronze watches and 100% sure its the oversized case - which was designed for steel and not bronze. I think its one of the issues with these "basically a seiko but bronze" AliExpress homages is that they don't put thought into design when they switch the material to bronze.

Could you elaborate more? I don't see it off?

Looks like the markers are slight too small. Too much negative space for a watch that size. Casio edifice does a better job at proportions for same size for only about $130.

Hmmm that's completely subjective. I can say the same about any watch... I could complain that Panerai doesn't have minute markers if that's the critique...

@ amount of negative space in a watch isn’t subjective. Whether you’re ok with it or not is subjective part. A skyscraper is a tall building. Whether you think it’s very tall or slightly tall is subjective.

@ you could say it about any watch but you will be wrong many times. There are watches that have the proportion dialed in, no pun intended. I mentioned one for comparison which you ignored and brought a panarai. Let’s try to compare apples to apples. No problem just a good discussion.

Could you elaborate where it looks poor so I can improve on the critical aspects of it?

At a glance, the edges of the indices are rough, and the quality of the brushing is variable from the top of the case to the chamfer on the bezel. The polishing is just okay. Not bad for the price, but doesn't stack up to Mido, Hamilton etc.

The indices might be my macro lens fault as it's not that great but I see what you mean with the brushing. I don't think it's bad for the price point though. I think my TAG Heuer is similar and cost me almost $1.5k more.. the Omega is far superior but so is the price.. comparing this to a Citizen that costs the same, this watch is way superior.

Hey there! Good thought! Just did it with a random fridge magnet and it didn't stick. Of course, it might not be the best way to do it but that's what I have at this time.. Thank you for the sub! I appreciate it

@ That’s plenty good. I always feel like they’re using pot metal, cheap alloy with these types of watches because of the price point.

I had the same feeling before I started checking them out. But the steel seems similar to my Omega and TAG Heuer but I'm not a steel specialist 😅

Hey there! I actually like it like this. Haven't seen the other dial in person but from other UA-cam videos, thought they were too dark across the hour markers.. With this new version, the dial details, I believe, are more appreciated. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I appreciate it! 👍🏻

Thank you! I appreciate it 👍🏻

They have a 36mm and a 42mm as well!

@ did not know that thank you!

That's what I do as well 😆 thanks for watching

​​@@RageAgainstTimegot it yesterday and it's great, how's your patina developing? You must have had your watch for a while now?

Nice! Glad you liked it! It's a cool affordable watch for the specs. Yes, it's a bit darker than when I recorded the video. The watch has been holding up very well

@@RageAgainstTime excellent good to hear this, I am going to try to add patina using the old egg method to darken it a little. I am interested to see how it looks.

I haven't tried that... Only took it to a pool a couple of times

I understand the whole definition. However, it's simple, just do a quick Google search and you will find them as 2 piece quick release in current times.. if you want to classify them as Nylon quick release then so be it.

Thanks! And, hmmm I'm pretty sure you can buy them as two-piece with a quick release nowadays as that's what I do .. and I have over 20 of them ... And in my opinion, they are much better than the original one-piece.

@@RageAgainstTime I know there are many infinite variations of straps available, but you couldn't call them 'NATO' straps. NATO straps were invented by the British Ministry of Defence in 1973 as a lightweight, waterproof and durable watch strap. There are two designs:- single-pass and double-pass. The single-pass design is a single strip of nylon with a pin buckle and keepers at one end, and pin holes at the other. The strap feeds over the spring-bar, under the watch, and back through the lugs on the other side. The double-pass design also attaches to the watch in the same way, but also features a second piece of strap to loop the strap through before closing it. This keeps the watch even more secure and higher on the wrist. The idea behind the NATO strap was that if one of the spring-bars failed, the other would retain the watch. This doesn't happen with two-piece straps. If one of the spring-bars fails, the watch falls from the wrist and is potentially lost - not ideal if you are in a theatre of war and relying on your watch. Therefore, two-piece straps can't be classed as NATO straps. Do some research about actual watches issued to military personnel (e.g. Hamilton & CWC, and more recently Tudor) and you'll see that they have fixed bars. Good luck attaching your quick-release straps to one of those... 😄. Now, Zulu straps, that's another matter entirely....

This doesn't happen with two-piece straps. If one of the spring-bars fails, the watch falls from the wrist and is potentially lost - not ideal if you are in a theatre of war and relying on your watch. Therefore, two-piece straps can't be classed as NATO straps. Watch manufacturers like Hamilton and CWC responded to this concept, and their military-issue watches only have fixed bars.

Hey there, I no longer have this watch. I never got to change the battery so I'm no help on the subject. Maybe a Google research would help? Regards

@@RageAgainstTime If you know someone who works at a jewelry store maybe you can ask them.

@@RageAgainstTime I did search Google before posting the question. Subsequently I think I may have found the answer. Apparently the bezel and bezel spring must be removed on the front, revealing 6 screws that hold the case on the back in place. But I am not 100% sure of that.

Thank you! Glad you liked it! I still wear mine often.

Great choice!

Do you think Rolex is much different? Probably even more inflated in pricing...

Yes, why wouldn't it?

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Acho que só os de bateria.. eu vi uns automáticos com data..

Woah! That's an insane price! Which model is it?

@@RageAgainstTime it says Locman Italy DONNA

Glad it helped you! I'm also happy with my watch and wear it often! Thank you for watching 🤙🏼

I agree!

You can adjust the bracelet but the butterfly clasp limits the micro adjustment fit..

Nice choice! Hope you are happy with it as I still am! And I don't.. I have other brands but haven't had the time to make videos in a while. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Appreciate the feedback 👍🏼

Muito obrigado!

I have one for sale

Mine has been working well as well. It's been almost 1 year since I bought it. Great choice, wear it in good health 👍🏼

Thank you! I appreciate it

Hahaha, there are some crazy coupons on AliExpress now so you can even add a margarita to the appetizer

I actually do enjoy the bracelet, just don't like the butterfly clasp but it does look nice in person. I currently have it on a gray nylon strap. Thanks for watching!

Nice! I'm fine with the 38mm as my wrist is on the skinnier side. I agree, it's a great watch for the price. Should be worth at least 3x more! Thank you for watching!

It's beautiful in person, thank you for watching!

Thank you for the recommendation, will check that brand out in the future!

Thank you for the info. This watch was lent by a friend, not sure where he got it from. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!

Hey there, the watch in this video is the "yellow" version and you are right, it is orange in person. Not sure why they named it yellow. There might be some videos on UA-cam showing the V1 option. I would think it has something to do with the lume, movement, a change in size and sapphire glass (that's usually the case but I don't know, I reviewed my watch). Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

I wouldn't like it either. Thanks for watching

​@RageAgainstTime can you do blueberry version? new subscriber, looking for my first automatic watch under 150 euros, above that a Seiko seem to be the way to go. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

@@biglaughs99 hey there, thank you for watching and for subscribing! I don't have that watch.. I'm doing reviews of watches that I currently have in my collection/borrowed by friends. Hopefully I can get ahold of one of those in the future!

I suggest you search for the blueberry on UA-cam, maybe someone reviewed it!

Hey there! Yeah, we are lucky enough they did a 38mm.. PD usually goes over 40mm on their homages! Thank you for watching!

Hey there, thank you! Just one link left..

Thank you!

Hello, I had to translate your comment. Thank you. I'm not really "recommending" the V2 over the V1 but the V2 is the version reviewed in this video for reference. Thank you for watching

@@RageAgainstTime , Версия V2 чем-то отличается?

@@haematogenumno3263 I don't have the V1 to compare so it must have something different. Hope someone can see this comment and explain it to us. Or try looking for it on youtube, maybe there's a video with the V1? Sorry I couldn't help

@@RageAgainstTime , спасибо!

Amazing deal! Yep, I feel it's always like that with Citizen. Never pay retail!
