0510-C50871 TA......This is one I collected 1980
@@RONALD511 Nice!!
I have the 4th watch in all silver with the navy face. Literally one of the best watches you can buy for that money in my opinion
Citizen Prezio women's eco diamond watch is breathing magnificent in every way possible.
Lucky me! The original price 850.00 purchased on sale though would have paid original price love the watch. 🥰
I absolutely love my Citizen Blue Angels Navihawk .....precise timing and amazing craftsmanship.
Citizen is my favorite type of watch around!
They're cool, but I prefer Casio.
I like casio too, but for affordable watches that look nice with office clothes I definitely prefer citizen, seiko and orient. Although, the square stainless steel Gshocks are really killer looking.
They’re great!
@@YorktownUSA I love Casio too!
I have 6 EcoDrive watches, different styles, different bands, from $150 model to a $650 model. Other models drove me batty replacing the battery, so the EcoDrive function is great.
I wouldn’t leave it in a box or complete darkness... leave it on a dresser or somewhere where it can get some natural or artificial light. That way, it will never die and you probably won’t run into capacitor issues.
I thought they use a lithium ion battery instead of a capacitor.
coffee machines and watches! this dude is pure class. love the work!
Good to see Citizen watches getting some attention. Though I find the Eco-Drive concept to be pretty cool, I've not found any Citizens that really caught my attention.
I did..gold straight band.. blue/lavender bezel💯
Good job guys, thanks for sharing.
Nice video. Thanks
Great vid!
Nice video. Beautiful watches :)
3:03 I love the blue dial
4:53 My favorite
6:50 Best to wear during the day time to stand out.
what's with all the vintage refurbished Seikos and Citizens being sold on eBay? I got a 70s citizen watch for £13, should I be wary in any way?
I refuse to buy watches with a battery, which has limited me to mechanical pieces, which are great but have their own issues and drawbacks... mainly cost for a nice one. Love my Eco
Eco use batteries as well. Do not suffer..
I hope you see this message,
But where can you costumize your citizen watch
I have the citizen 3rd from the left its very nice
Love citizen watch always elegant and very high quality watch love my echo drive 👍
Nice video lads 👌
Hi guys. Watch from the link no 3 is different ( no illuminatied dials,diferent band). I like yous much betrer but cannot find it. Can you tell me model name please?
I’ve been trying to find the 4th watch you talked about in this video. Do they not make it anymore? I followed the link but it’s a different watch without the chronograph. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
For what they are, Citizen makes some cool watches. The eco drive really adds some pizazz to the standard quartz movement and is definitely nice to not have to ever worry about changing the battery. Just don't leave it in a dark drawer for months when not wearing it. I have heard of a few peoples watches having a hard time coming back on after they've done that.
I did that and I had a time getting it back on my cousin left his in for two years he said it won't come on…
@@mookeychase0907 i actually had left mine in for two or three years and it came back on in the light after a little no problem
Love citizen dive watches!
Guys, do you have any hands-on experience with the Citizen AT4000-02E? What would your summary and over-all opinion be of it?
I want that nighthawk, a bulova computron, a swatch big bold jellyfish, a skeleton g shock and……
Hi guys 😊 great review can u do Rolex GMT batman alternative below 500 pound
Isn't eco drive any light? Not just solar....?
Nice presentation guys. But you are missing one thing. The series of your watches👍🏿
That nighthawk is badass
Very, very, badass
Wearing mine now
#2 that E111-SO79748 wow what a great looking watch. I don't do formal or suits. But I love a dress watch.
It's a great mix of classic looks and modern tech
I've got a Citizen 6561 it's my first proper watch and it is brilliant
If the eco- drive watch loses power from a lack of light, does the watch's time have to be reset every time once it's recharged?
It will last 6 months straight on a full charge. Eventually when given light, it will recharge :)
I like the nighthawk
Eco-Drive pro diver is my daily wear watch...
Great watches 🙂
I do now own an Omega Seamaster, but I've had the Skyhawk Titanium for 12 years. It's obviously a lot less maintenance and more functional than the Seamaster. I just can't feel as much like James Bond while I'm wearing it.
Uuuughh. I have five Citizen watches. I really want a Seamaster, but I just can’t bring myself to spend five grand for it. I’ve got the money, but I just can’t pull the trigger. I wear my Citizen watches everywhere and all the time. I just have a feeling I won’t want to scratch a 5K watch. Congratulations dude on your Seamaster. Please enjoy it on my behalf!🙂
In real life it's obvious James Bond would wear a quartz watch. I mean, if his expensive, prestigious mechanical watch is lagging even by a few seconds? He's not gonna make it out of the villain's secret base before it all blows up. Plus, all those stunts he does? No mechanical watch would survive all that trauma, but only a quartz.
In fact, if you consult the novels, Bond does in fact wreck several expensive watches.
Personally I have the Citizen Blue Angels, and I always tell myself it's the watch James Bond would have worn if he had been a tax inspector.
Nighthawk!!!
Collection implies I can afford more than four of these. Frankly I can only afford one or two. To be fair, the most expensive watch in their entire lineup is about $3400, so that’s cheap compared to other flagships. My local jeweler sells quite a few of them, including the three main series, Eco drive, Atomic timekeeping, and Super Titanium.
Finally, an unpretentious watch channel. Trying to acquire a Citizen calendrier moonphase myself. I am fascinated by their solar technology.
A moonphase would be spectacular!
I've yet to come across a technology that has worked so much BETTER than I anticipated. Their solar watches are truly awesome.
light opinions...with respect
Citizen Mens 1100-R12527 RC this is the one I have not sure what the model is. Does it use a battery?
Yes, that is a quartz model
My collection of watches now had evolved from all battery operated to 3 automatic, 3 solar and 2 battery operated.
I love Citizen because of Ecodrive. So with the times but they are always so large. why can't they make them in different sizes?
I agree, some more vintage sizes like 36mm and 39mm would be fantastic. Sadly, most watch brands are trending towards larger cases these days
Not all of them are overly large. Only most of them. Lol. My Citizen BL8000-54L (one of the Chandler line) is only a 39mm case. It's one of my favorite watches. It has a great wrist feel, and Eco-drive and a perpetual calendar just seem like a complication match made in heaven.
it looks like you have a different band for #3, the world chronograph. how do you get that? it looks nicer than the original band that comes with the watch
The watch in this video is the original version, they've since updated the bracelet to the one you see now
Eco Drive is powered by any source of light; real or artificial. Solar watches only charge in near direct sunlight. Whereas eco-drive citizen watches charge by every source of light.
What is the name of watch #3 ? I cant find it online
Watch #3 is the World Chrono AT, it's linked up in the description and the to comment as well :)
Citizen its the best!
I like citizen watches but not any of those on view
Good video guys, but just a note - I have two of your #2 (in gold and in steel). I guarantee you that is NOT a sapphire crystal, it's a domed and magnified mineral glass. My good one is mint, my steel (everyday/knockaround) is scratched to death. Mineral, not sapphire.
Good correction, thanks!
I think I'm just used to calling all watch glass "crystal", which is a bad habit to have when talking about vintage or vintage-inspired pieces...
You can download a app that makes clicking noises and sets your watch radio wave
Citizen is a BIG brand.
New collectors...look into Seiko as well
Absolutely!
My favourite watches are citizen and AP atm
Quite the spread in brands there!
those are not dive watches? not all into dress watched though
It’s a capacitor battery in a eco drive
Not just the sun any light powers them
Actually, any type of light. Not only sunlight. However, sunlight will recharge it faster, but indoor light and even smaller light bulb will do the job.
Eco-Drive Men's Promaster Altichron Khak band is cooler than all of them.
These two are like the Buzzfeed Unsolved guys' teeny nephews, har har.
I like Citizen watches but the selection in the video lack other good models from Citizen.
How could they leave out the classic Skyhawk?!?
Big like 👍 👍
They make a cute couple.
This video review of Citizen watches sounds like it was made inside a tunnel.
Had one of these wore it for a week got one scratch and sold it now wear a timex from a charity shop
Interesting!
Why did you decide to sell?
A bit late in my reply, one reason was the watch was a silver dress type to be worn with a suit it had an integrated strap so if the lock broke as my old seiko ..the strap couldn't be replaced making the watch unwearable and as it cost my wife 130 pounds I thought best to sell it
All citizens have 5 year warranty from the manufacturer.
Cost????
Links in the description.
Eco drive sounds great if you live in Jamaica. Not so great if you live in Scotland, were I live.
Eco drive watches charge using ANY kind of light. As you can see, we own a few of these watches, and I can say from experience that unless you literally put it in a drawer in the pitch dark, these watches will never run out of charge.
I have an eco drive and I live in London sooooo... they still charge on a cloudy day, or from artificial light
Scotland has light bulbs, your welcome.
Matt seems like a law abiding citizen
Correct!
from an investment standpoint , you are wrong there , a rolex or any other luxury brand would be a superior choice since most of these retain their value or the appreciate with time , the citizen / everyday brand of watches dont , so I would say , if you do have the ability to drop your paycheck on a watch m do it on a rolex and not a collection of eco drives
From an investment standpoint absolutely! But only Rolex can really say that value will be held 100% (excluding the true high end such as Petek etc...). If you consider even a brand such as Omega, your initial investment may lose $2,000 the second you leave the store, which is more than any full-priced eco-drive. With that being said, I own a new 3235 Datejust, and several Citizens. They all serve a purpose. The point that was being made in this video was less to do with "investment value" and rather more in "features / functionality per dollar"
Do ladies watches next!
May not be Citizen specific, but we've got some ladies who would love to do that for you! Stay tuned!
@@lifestylelab-gear3476 Citizen has awesome women's Eco watches
They must be Canadian.
I would disagree with “if youre buying this watch youre not buying it for any functionality.”
They would take over all if all their watches had sapphire glass
Who's one paycheck can cover the cost of a ROLEX LMAO 🤣🤣🤣
The people who should be buying a Rolex...
The important is to see the watches.. Not both of you
Both Sun Light and Artificial Light charges these watches.
If that’s a question the answer is yes but I suggest sun light because it charges faster.
Just the 5 watches you happen to have......
Watches and knifes . I love collecting microtech and crk knifes and good watches. And I rather have a Rolex then 10 watches.
Get real, eco drive is a quartz movement with a rechargeable battery and a solar panel. Nothing new.
Nothing groundbreaking, but their execution of it is very good, and the cases they put the technology in are also easy on the eyes :)
@@lifestylelab-gear3476 Citizen popularized solar much better than anyone before them, so I give them credit for that. As for their watches, I find Citizens look too "busy" and there's not enough contrast in the hands when it comes to actually telling time. I do like the Promasters which are simpler.
Great Automatic watches are not always expensive, you need to learn more about before you talk about watches
Correct, Seiko is case a point for that statement. However, can you name a mechanical watch that can meet COSC timekeeping accuracy standards that costs under $1000?
The only problem with citizen is there size. So goddamn big
I do wish more brands would stick to "classic" sub-40mm sizes. 36mm and 39mm are a nice balance
they use ANY light....not only sun
These are 6 watches, not 5
Citizen Casio Seiko best watches ever made ... don't like swiss nasty stupid expensive wathes .
Pay to change a battery? LOL
As opposed to...?
Asian comedian destroys America was hilarious I washed it like three times I made several people watch it actually
Show us the Watches guys, not you two 😉
I command you on starting new watch channel ,but "high end watches dont have chronograph or they r not customizable" Come on guys ,I get what you are trying to say ,and I ll support you with sub and likes ,but write better scripts. ANd keep moving forward!!
Your whole paycheck I need a job making 5 grand a check
That's nowhere near a 5k collection though
Good presentation style _ good intentions _ "A" for effort _ nice try guys - but you both sound like salespeople in training because you lack in giving specifications; gave a thumbs up. . . :>)
You guys are doing your videos wrong. Strange setting. Strange staring into the camera. Just do it like other youtubers do where we the view angle changes and focuses on the product, where you have a mic that removes the echo. Just make it less like a QVC video.
Boy would you love our new videos ;)
Meh I have a Citizen watch, the face got scratched real easy, not a fan, I’ll go TAG HEUER until I can get a Rolex.
I would recommend looking somewhere other than Tag Heuer... perhaps Tudor or Oris. Far better watches
Tags don't hold their value. You're better off getting something else that's cheaper until you can get the rolex. I used a bulova and a Tissot for quite a few years before picking up a rolex last month.
Lifestyle Lab - Gear Think I’m gonna go with the Oris Aquis Date for my first Luxury Watch, I’m a dive watch kinda guy.
@@jackthomas6952 Great choice!
Kinda a waste of time with no models in the vid
There were 5 different models in the video?
Almost 5 mins of these clowns talking before they even show the 1st watch....
They show the first watch at 3:00 ???
You know you can skip ahead right?
I love citizen but u guys need better people….. it’s too fake, or paid for.
The dude doesn't even own a watch lol and trying to tell me about watch

Странно. Молодых привлекают часы для пенсионеров, пенсионерам нравятся часы для молодых. Могу ошибаться, но эти скушные и кастрированные модели не имеют даже дня недели? Проснитесь, займитесь спортом, найдите подругу, мойтесь под холодным душем для повышения тестостерона. И лучше вообще без часов, чем с этими прилизанными типа усов Сальваторе Дали
Awkward.
My guy is talking about watches and not even wearing one. smh
Probably because they were in the box 🤔
