PRX style bracelet with Grand Seiko vibe dial. I feel like they understand the community better..
Then they should offer an option of Tsuyosas without a cyclops.
Then ruin it with separate seconds hand, integrated bracelet, and octagon shaped case. I want something like SBGY007 under 1000$.
@@barryallen6927 They have a 3 hand dial option too AW0130-85A. Still integrated bracelet since well, it is a Forza
@@barryallen6927 That is something VERY different. I would say the SRPB43J1 is close and not even close to 1000$

The clasp the part ot the watch that the wearer interacts with the most. So, watch manufacturers need to stop cheaping out on their clasps especially on watches with integrated bracelets. Instead of giving me a display caseback for an unremarkable movement, just put a solid caseback and a better clasp.
Agreed 💯
💯 if they release a new version with butterfly clasp I will definitely buy it . I'm pretty confident that they will correct that mistake because they listened to thier costumers and fixed that default on the Tsuyosa small seconds.
Not to mention display caseback either brings WR down, Increase thickness or both, making it sit little higher on the wrist.
I gotta disagree with this one. As long as the clasp doesn’t fail, doesn’t really matter to me. We interact with it 1 second a day, assuming you wear the watch all day.
Never not bought a watch because of the clasp... But certainly will immediately exclude a watch as an option if it has a solid caseback and it isn't for acoustic purposes like in a minute repeater or alarm watch.
I'm glad to see Citizen stepping up their game, but I also think its criminal that since they also own Bulova, they haven't applied their Eco-Drive technology to the Lunar Pilot. Imagine the marketing for a Solar Powered Lunar Pilot. Here's hoping the YT review channels start asking Citizen about this.
I got this with the Green dial as my 2nd watch (1st being the Omega Seamaster 300m).
This has now f'd my life!!! My favorite watch is no longer the most expensive watch I own!!
It is the Citizen Titanium that just drapes perfectly on the wrist and is getting the most wrist time.
man.. watching your videos is a good enough fix to keep the watch addiction at bay. There is always a new watch and there is always something missing… which leads to the continual search
I love how your review wearing the watch and showing how the watch look like in real life. Most reviewer are very technical in which i can read on website. This is how watch should review. Excellent job.
if this was anything but a citizen it would have been the watch of the year
This looks great.
The main issue I have is that once I've worn a bracelet with on-the-fly micro-adjustment, I can't wear one with out.
Gorgeous Watch! I bought it after watching this video and always find myself admiring the dial whenever I look at it. Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 looked nice in pictures but hated it when I put it on my wrist. It didn't feel special and lacked character not to mention everyone has it, but the Citizen wears beautifully on the wrist, the textured dial, and the integrated bracelet is the best bang for your money.
Eco drive 3 hand white dial on my list! Snow flake for a fraction of the price
I bought it. I like it. But, I hope it has little smaller case or dial. It looks little big.
It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.
I did sell my PRX (long before this came out) and I just picked up the baby blue forza chrono. Love it.
I have an old citizen eco-drive. 30 years old. Same clasp. Simple. Works! Nice! Do not fix what's not broken! And a few days ago, I bought eco-drive version of this - Citizen Zenshin AW0130-85L. Just love it. Dial like WOW!
I have the green dial Powermatic PRX and the rose gold tone, red face Tsyosa. Integrated bracelet watches were never my thing before, but I love this Forza, especially the texture of the dial. Also, with my Tsyosa, I replaced the scissor with a milled one while keeping the original outer clasp. It was an easy upgrade that looks and feels great.
Love your watch video content, Max! You are one of three UA-camrs I follow often to get my watch fix and updates. I just wanted to chime in on this Citizen’s pronunciation because it is pronounced “Tsu”-yosa and not “toy”-yosa. I point it out because I care deeply about your videos and the watches you showcase. 👍
I prefer citizens eco drive
what about the eco do you like? im curious because im interested in buying a citizen
@@sealedindictment I’m into solar and citizen is the leader in this field . I have plenty of automatic watches and lately started expanding my collection to solar powered. Just bought a Casio mud man last week
@@sealedindictment Got myself an AQ4020-54y and I love it so so much
There is an eco driver version of this watch
me too 😀
got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on amzwatch 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.
Had a PRX and after it needed to be serviced 6 or so after buying in new. It developed “helicopter rotor” and had to be returned to Tissot. I also had another watch with a powermatic 80 that developed the same issue. I sold both of them due to movement unreliability. Before I sold the PRX, I bought a Tsuyosa. I owned both at the same time for a few months. The Tsuyosa got more wrist time, and the Citizen movement is seemingly bulletproof. A few months ago, I say the watch in this review on another channel and went right out and picked up one from mastersintime for about $400. They had it to me in the USA in under a week. After having both Citizens for a month or so, the Tsuyosa wasn’t getting any wrist time so I boxed it up and put it on the shelf. I guess I’ll be looking to sell it or trade it in before too long. The new watch looks great and wears better on my wrist than the Tsuyosa did. I’m very happy with the purchase.
I personally don't see an issue with a stamped clasp. It's functionally identical to a milled one, and you can't see or feel the difference when the watch is on your wrist or in your watch box.
But you know 🤔
@@WatchCrunchOfficial But we dont know. Is there really a difference, or is it a matter of principle?
@@bertholdbach4959 I'm with you milled clasps are thicker and heavier. Everyone cums over Rolex yet so many came with the crappiest folded link stamped bracelets into the 2000's
@@WatchCrunchOfficial
You also know there’s a horrible 20 bucks movement inside. You simply can’t have good exterior finish and real substance at this price point.
On the fly adjustment is way higher on the list for me as a want rather then stamped vs milled.
I like the watch I got from amzwatch. That rubber strap combo looks really cool! Been wearing it since last year and love every minute of it.
Beautiful honest revew . Beautiful watch . Many thanks
Nizar
Thank you for making high quality videos!Love amzwatch ’s watches
Toyoza haha. Sounds like a Toyota. Should be “Tsuyosa” Max haha…😂😂😂
💯
Instead of silent T, he doubles down on the T lol.
Citizen needs to make a 1000 to 1500 dollar version of this. What they've done for $500 is very impressive, so much so that I want to see them release a more refined version at 2-3x the price.
Well said. Completely agreed.
Put in the series8 movement.
Titanium. 39mm. Better bracelet clasp. Sold.
No one will buy a 1500 dollar citizen. Not for a few next years at least
Though not similar to the watch reviewed in this video, Citizen actually has come up with a very expensive (relative to their collections) watch line already: The CITIZEN. If I'm not mistaken, it costs > USD2,000. So, if you're looking for a very expensive Citizen, there's an option.
@vankodoq have you tried one on? I'm curious to see how good it is
@@TMansWorld101 Unfortunately no. To be very honest, I have never seen the piece in its physical form with my own eyes. ^^)a
"A pattern that looks like it can grate cheese" HA!! This is a great description of the 12. Lots to like, but not my jam.
Just bought the Citizen super titanium bm7570-80x. Great dial with a beautiful green/grey/blue colour thats impossible to catch on a photo. No integrated bracelet, so you can switch straps. The only problem that I see with the clasp, is that it has only one micro-adjustment.
This look like high end grand seiko watch..........impressive will get one.
I'm genuinely impressed with how close amzwatch were able to replicate every aspect of this very very goofy looking classic watch.
Hello nice video. It is uniformly accepted by industry and observers that Jean-Claude Biver, CEO of Blancpain at the time, was the person who was the most influential person in turning the tide of quartz.
My watch was purchased 2 years ago from amzwatch and, to this day, it still looks and runs as well as it did the day it arrived. That movement has never missed a beat despite never having been serviced. I can't complain about that.
Great watch. Add a better clasp + a 9039 movement n... Viola... Best watch of the year! 😁
I dont know what color to get the green, white or blue, they all love so good I cant decide.
This was less than $400 just a moment ago. 😂 now its 500. Next it would be 700.
$682 including taxes on the Citizen website as I type this… 😂
Outstanding video.I have to go with the amzwatch, especially with that green dial as my favorite
This and the citizen weekender with ecodrive solar power are in my list to buy within the next few months
I own a Oceanus OCW-S100-1AJF that appears to spec out very similar to the eco drive version of this watch with great accuracy
These are awesome. I'm trying to convince my friend to buy one
Thanks for not saying, “stay crunchy.”
Bought one for a friend's birthday, great value for money. Ways lighter than the Tsuyosa but yes it misses the butterfly clasp and the movement finishing from the small second Tsuyosa which would make that a watch a all time hit
I don’t think the 40mm Tissot is a good point for your 6.5 inch wrist because there is a 35mm version.
The blue and the white are my favourites...
These models seems to come with there “super titanium” that is 5 times harder then 316L steel. That seems to be reason enough to shop this model vs prx.
Outstanding video.I have to go with the MAMACOO, especially with that green dial as my favorite
I just bought one with the green dial 😍 for $429.
Love Citizens, but the Casio Edifice line is killing it with a great price point. Eyed this watch but went with a Casio Edifice EFB-S108 instead. 👌🏼
The integrated bracelet and watch opens up a lot of room for artistic expression. Art, as we know, is subjective but most I tegrations are exciting!
End links also create a cohesive design.
Not a big fan of the integrated bracelet. Seems to greatly limit case design.
They should release a 37mm with Ecodrive!
I think people are slow to implement the "Collections" feature...I really like it and appreciate all you do for the website!
Max. Rapidly becoming one of my top 5 content providers. Thanks for your efforts.
Integrated bracelets prevent customizing and prevent individualism. Additionally if anything breaks, you are forced to obtain an OEM part. When they stop manufacturing the watch it will only be a matter of time before it becomes a paper weight. It’s a good looking watch, but the bracelet really ruins it to becoming a timeless design.
Thank you for making high quality videos!Love MAMACOO ’s watches
This is now my favourite watch channel on UA-cam , such great content and done superbly, well done sir and I got my favourite watch at amzwatch， it hasn’t left my wrist for weeks
Instead of these large corps using focus groups with people that have no watch knowledge. They should tap into watch crunch. With a 9015 and a milled clasp… home run! Good review.
Citizen is definitely the new king of affordable watches. Great job from Citizen, I even like their AW0130 line even more.
Yummy asymmetry on this one, but I just got the Tsuyosa small seconds in stainless steel.
A Miyota 8-series with a pressed clasp is a "trade up" from a PRX? That gets a chuckle.
Titanium and a unique attractive dial make this worthy of consideration. I'm hanging on to my PRX, though.
Wish the date window was color matched to the dial and it was a tad smaller and i would buy immediately
I own a Direnzo Mondial red dial and it’s executed very well, and so I can’t justify spending more money on a similar watch, but this citizen looks like a good product except for the clasp
I just got into watch collecting. I've loved watches since I was young but I never had anyone teach me or bring deeper into the world. amzwatch brought closer to a community and hobby I always wanted to get into more and that is incredibly meaningful to me !
Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops! MAMACOO watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.
The Riviera isn’t from Maurice Lacroix! It is from a much better brand called Baume & Mercier. A very old brand with cosc certified inhouse movements with a 5 days power reserve and very nice finishing.
This is literally a PRX KILLER! Gave my PRX to a buddy a while back, but always missed the style. Ordered this watch immediately when I saw it.
That’s absolutely beautiful! The clasp is ridiculous but whatever. I have the 40mm PRX I got it when they first dropped the auto and it’s still the best overall package for the price.
That thin ass stamped clasp on a $500 watch is NUTS💀
This kind of shit belongs on $70 dollar Casio watches.
Not sure if you know wut u talking about, those "PRX" Casios are feels like 5$ fake-metal clumsy shiet, Citizen even tho overpriced still feels like solid thing.
I really don't get why they put the "automatic titanium" on the left side. If they put off this text, the watch will be 100% perfect
Citizen change all the image of the brands,thanks to tsuyosa model,they are all great,nice and good quality,lot of my friend worn it proudly,my question is: did the acuracy of this automatic citizen is good?
It’s not bad actually. Mine is within 10 spd. Same movement, different watch.
Citizen are really making some compelling watches, their designs are really on point right now. Six months ago I would have politely bypassed Citizen, but now these Forzas are incredible.
I am not going to sell my PRX. I will get a Forza in addition. I also don't see an issue with a stamped deployant style clasp whatsoever. It's a non-issue. A butterfly clasp may look classier when opened, but at the end I do not consider the clasp when deciding on which watches to buy.
Id be curious to see how this compares to the citizen nb1050, its pretty much around the same price. Definitely prefer the 9000 series movement though if i was going to pay over half a grand for a watch. Nonetheless the design of this watch is outstanding imo.
9000 would be stellar
Ever since I bought a watch from MaMaCoo , My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?
Been watching your videos for a while now and was inspired to start a collection. Started with the mamacoo, its specs for price and clean looks, now am looking for a dress watch to add.
Maybe its just the bezel shape, but this watch just seems bulkier to me, especially when compared to the prx. Granted I prefer clean minimal designs over character and have a 38mm prx as one of my dailies.
to me, it’s a must-have for the era … only a matter of which color😅 mine is the jade stone
Love this review! I do wish they had an option with the green dial from the other release, it’s a very traditional Japanese color (very popular in 90s, brings back nostalgia) really looking to fill that green dial void in my line up.
just have mine with the white dial, amazing under sunlight😍
the dial looks great! I do wish it was smaller though, like 39, or even better at 38mm.
And why offset the small seconds??
The offset small seconds is one of the reasons I like it. It’s fun.
@@AlbeeBarrett fair enough. We all can’t like the same things
@@AlbeeBarrett I'm the opposite it's the thing that kills it for me. I love everything else. I don't do quartz so I'll probably get a Christopher Ward instead.
Citizen are killing it, stellar looks, fabulous materials and even better value. I prefer all my watches to be 10 ATM. As for the Direnzo, it has it's charm too, but it's going to be far more expensive, is stainless steel and so will feel differently on the wrist as it weighs 50% more. Citizen has a the NJ0180-80M which would be my preferred watch out of them all.
Thank you for the video. Can you please check your audio and equalizer - the words with "S" are really hitting the ear.

Not selling my PRX p80. Pd 500 2 yrs ago on a cruise. Not paying more for the quasi upgrade. Maybe a CW12 in the future. Maybe not. Wear my PRX every week.
got the mint dial version a month ago for a good price, absolutely love it
Citizen definitely makes fantastic affordable watches.I bought an eco drive chronograph 12 years ago,works just like the day I bought it
Great video, very accurate analysis. In my 4.5 years in the game as a watch collector and enthusiast, I collected a lot from MAMACOO I was thinking I was able to get a blue SD but I'm not vip enough, but I'm not giving up. Hehe. Great video.
I just bought a tsuyosa small seconds like a week ago. Now i want this instead 😭😭
LoL me too 😢
Damn. If it had killer AR it would be so much nicer. But I'm going to get the green or blue version at some point anyhow. You can't expect everything for a relatively reasonable price. If they gave it good AR, an on-the-fly adjustable clasp and a 9-series movement, it would be perfect even for a lot more money. But actually I'm kinda glad they made it more entry-level. A more reasonably priced watch can be enjoyed more worry-free, and this is a sports-watch after all.
We got citizen renaissance before GTA6
(Great video as always)
I used to care about stamped clasps but honestly my dad has had a Rolex Blusey for 30 years with a stamped clasp and it still works just fine. Milled would be cooler but I wouldn’t let it be a deal breaker for anyone who’s considering this watch.
Looks way better than the tacky PRX. Anyone that buys the PRX over this needs a checkup
I agree with you on CW's "The12": nice, but the dials are somehow "too much" for my taste. I really like the SW300-1 that they put in the titanium "The12s" too. I've really warmed up to titanium since I got my Citizen Promaster Land AT6080-53L. It's just insanely comfortable. If I bought a gold or tantalum watch I'd want to feel that weight on my wrist, but man there's something to be said for a watch that you can hardly feel on your wrist. That Citizen on its titanium bracelet is comfier than anything else I own, whether it's on a bracelet or FKM strap. So that brings me to "The Citizen" AQ4091-56L. I believe I need to have that watch. I definitely see more titanium watches in my future.
I wish this wasn't an integrated bracelet. I already have the PRX, an FC Highlife and a Perception.

Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the amzwatch’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
I’m excited to use the Collections feature on WC!
Now we need to wait for the version two with a proper clasp... Deja-vu anybody?
Riviera is Fu..ing briliant watch,all in satin steel and with probably the best pound to pound movement on the market,gorgeous watch.
The clasp also disappointed me, but I’m still getting one
Citizen watches are getting better ❤❤❤
They’ve always had some great ones. They have mass market crap too, but you don’t have to buy those.
When it comes to fine imitation watches, amzwatch delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.
Citizen is really a great company, if you allow yourself to get to know it better. Loved this one.
They've been on a roll lately 👍
