I have two passions-photography and watch collecting-so I decided to combine the two by creating a UA-cam channel. The goal of this channel is to share my experiences with the watches I get to explore, offer reviews, and provide insights into the world of watches, including the latest news and trends. I hope my videos inspire you and help you with your next watch purchase. Thank you for watching, and I wish you the best in your watch collecting journey. And remember, the only person who needs to like the watch on your wrist is you.
The Complete "The Citizen" Collection From Citizen 2024
I made this video to provide a broad understanding of all the "The Citizen" Watches made by Citizen. My goal was to provide you with model details without going into deep technical detail.

If You Want A Seiko SPB143. Then Now Is The Time To Get One
This is like comparing Toyota to mercedes. Oris is a good manufacturer, but IWC is at a very very different level
Bought mine in 1995, I've never had it serviced. I will be sending it in within a week!
@@MrKjm444 I'd say it's about time 😁
$100 extra for unique and bespokely cut 18 piece Globolight on the dial? Have you got any idea what you're talking about? The CW has a ceramic bezel too btw You have just shown your utter ignorance (and bias)
@ThinkingAndInkingLtd I've stated in a previous comment that I know I am most probably way off with the nunbers. The main point I was trying to drive home was cost vs retail pricing. Thanks for your opinion.
Nice presentation of beautiful watches! The lack of variety in hour markers is surprising. The whole collection is nice but borderline dull. The various dial textures and colors saves the day. The mother of Pearl dial faces are particularly striking. The eco drive technology deserves mention, but it doesn’t excite me. I wish they put as much energy into their mechanical watches. The nature collection is perhaps my favorite segment of this presentation. Very nice.
@@just-dl I share your same sentiment. The dials are the outlier in the Citizen watches. Thank you for chimming in.
The 5s/y eco-drive models are not just "budget" versions of the 1s/y 0100 caliber eco-drive models. They have a date complication which is a functional perpetual calendar that accounts for the month as well as leap year automatically. The 0100 caliber eco-drive models don't even have the date complication.
@@dasc0yne Thank you for your input. Definitely points worth mentioning.
Cool, but would be much more useful with at least approximate prices…
@@MrZanzibar123 thank you for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind for future videos.
The Citizen watches also have the same if not better zaratsu polishing just like GS . Most of their models also have the proprietary super titanium and the platinum duratect coating ( which makes it basically immune to those micro scratches we usually get from daily wear on the clasp and case , plus it gives the titanium a brighter hue making it look like 316L SS instead of the dull dark titanium hue ) . these features should've been in the video was it's also pretty important but it's alright . The anti reflective coating is easily the best in the world too with a super clear 99% light penetration ARC crystal , this is also a great feature , the crystal looks non existent in most videos and reviews . I've had my eye on a couple of their watches for well over a year now , I consider them to be a much greater value proposition than the Grand Seiko 9F HAQ models cuz the Solar HAQ plus +/- 5 secs per year on the base The Citizen models is just more convenient and superior . Love the AQ4100 series with the 38mm case and those beautiful sharp angular lugs with the polishes bevels !
@siddhant46s54 Thank you for your insightful input. The information you provided is incredibly helpful, and I must admit it was an oversight on my part. This comment certainly deserves to be pinned.
Just got the tudor, where did you get the red strap? Link me up pls=)
@mrxops congratulations on your acquisition. All straps are linked in the video description.
Love the Hi-Beat 36k movement
I feel like the bracelet proportions are off given the size of the watch. Maybe it's a cultural thing.
@bluemystic7501 The bracelet doesn't taper which makes look larger
I used to think the same for the longest time until I tried on an EVO9 series watch for the first time and it all just made sense . This is easily the most comfortable GS watch they've ever made , The case ergonomics , how it stays centred on the wrist , the low centre of gravity , comfort are all amazing ! you have to experience it in person to understand it !
@siddhant46s54 Absolutely, they just feel right on the wrist. Thanks for sharing.
I have the blue cervo volante and I absolutely adore it! I don't agree on the packaging though. The cervo volante pouch which was delivered with the watch is incredibly nice and I prefer it to all the watch boxes I have from other manufacturers.
@@rmr5184 nice. Enjoy the blue cervo volante. A difference of opinion on the box, though I agree the pouch is well made.
Gorgeous Watch
Is that the Grand Seiko Evolution 9 Collection, Hi-Beat LE SLGH021? Stunning dial, for sure. Congratulations!
@@tuberaider thank you very much
Can’t wait for the full review Congratulations and have fun with your absolute stunner 😍
@@فيصل-و3ي thank you sir. I appreciate it.
I have one and absolutely love it. The size is brilliant for me and reminds me of the quality pieces from the earlier to mid part of the 20th century. It is a beauitul piece.
@@mandeepsinghsehmi1951 Enjoy your IWC. Thanks for the feedback.
It is extraordinarily generous of Oris to replace your strap. After all you caused the marks by splashing water on it. As regards the “unboxing experience” you are right it is a super trivial point. But it’s worth noting that Oris is trying to minimise wastage and environmental impact. Hence the smaller cardboard boxes.
Very perfect video
People that buy a grand seiko instead of Swiss are the same people that buy a Lexus instead of German 😅
I believe that you cannot go wrong with any of the colour options - they all have their charms. These are fantastic looking watches.
@@pete5534 you're absolutely right
love the video and your voice. keep it up mate
@MohitYadav-by2hx Good to know you've enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Beautiful timepiece! I love the close up shots of it; makes you appreciate the watch in all it's glory!
@b.3015 Thank you for commenting.
accuracy is for per day or per month?
@cenkbel4082 All accuracy figures mentioned in this video are per day.
@@WatchFocus8800 thank you. for a good watch, what should be the max accuracy seconds per day? according to you?
@cenkbel4082 There is no specific rule or maximum number of seconds a good watch should be. But the more accurate, the more goes into the making of a watch movement and the more it costs. I have watches that are accurate to 1 second per day, and others that are 20 seconds.
No Time To Die and Quantum of Solace look best to me. 💯
Great upload !!
Even though it’s a fake they say to avoid doing date changes around 12 marker 😅😂
That’s a beautiful piece. Congratulations.
@johnrb9397 Thank you, John.
Spb 143 is more every day. But if you were to go on a dive tour into tropical waters or sit on the beach in summertime it would have to be the blue dialled watch!!
@@johnrb9397 I couldn't have said it better.
Love the colour combination on this strap!
@johnrb9397 Thank you. Appreciate the feedback.
I really like this model. It represents what I look for in a dressy watch.
What a load of bull. Essentially the same watch? Apart from a different case and strap material, a different COSC certified movement, a different dial and ceramic infused with BGW9. Apart from that, the same watch 😵💫
what about their inserts ❤😊
No only SEIKO SPB 453 CAN😊😮
Nice Video.... 💪
Seiko’s bracelets are inferior to even to micro brands… they might as well sell their watches without a bracelet since no one keeps the original one on
thanks for your review, this watch looks incredible! whats your wrist size ?
@@Alphavmaisoui thank you. My wrist is 6.75 inches or 17cm
@WatchFocus8800 thanks ☺️
Great production! Also I agree 100% the winter is the GS to get!
@roochmartinez102 thank you. I appreciate he feedback.
I love the field watch look, so I'll go with the Farer
Which Seiko model at start of video? Beatiful
My I decide for myself what I should?
143 all day. That hour hand on the 083 looks cartoonish and still don't get why any watch company polishes the case of a tool watch.
@@nwerdscissorhands7475 tool watch. Polished? Fair point.
Wrong comparison since both watches have different movement..Maybe you can compare SPB153 to SPB143 there the movement is the same. But what to choose a design or comfort?
Thanks for your comparison of these watches. I have the Seiko SPB083J / SBDC065. It's a fantastic watch. I was lucky enough to get it new from an authorised dealer for AUD $899 = US $583 = GPB £460 = EUR €555. Another thing worth mentioning is that the SPB083J case is stainless steel with a super hard coating.
@ElectricShadowsZone thank you for the feedback. That's a great price
great review!
@@himikhail thank you for your feedback.
Sbp083 for me.looks more premium and the bracelet is much much more nicer than 143s.
Tried them both on. It's like you're wearing a tank on the wrist.
SPB143 for me.....
Christopher Ward is an excellent brand, but only at a sub $1500 price point. They just don't have the cred yet to justify the kind of pricing being sought.
@mfrankel8321 Well said, thank you for the contribution.
About the movement: the spb083 has the 6R17, it is a previus generation movement with 50 hours of power reserve.
My Seiko SPB083J has a 6R15 movement.
@Dalla192 I don't know how I may have missed that. I'll double-check and make a note on the video. Thank you.
PRO-SPEX not PROS-PEX you own them you should know
@xtr1092 Thanks for pointing that out
Thank you for this video! But I am missing the WISE Adamascus GMT and the Henry Archer Verden GMT.
@donpedrodestuttgart5165 When I made this video, I hadn't heard of the Wise brand, which is currently my favorite microbrand.
