Wise choice...citizen promaster with titanium coating is actually rust resistant and hypoallergenic...and it also uses super lumeniscent material to its hands numerical display so it glows in the dark brighter,and since its eco-drive...again battery change is no longer needed.it will last longer.😊
I have a 17 year old Citizen Eco Drive and I am a firm believer in this movement. This wonderful work of craftsmanship is still accurate to within 3 minutes per year ! I had it serviced by Hurley Roberts for a cost of $104 after I pulled off the crown a year ago. They also replaced the seals. This is another very good video J. Thank you
It’s been a couple years but thanks for this review. I was debating between these two and eventually I went with the Citizen. I agreed with your opinion. Got my Tough today and it’s great. I’m very happy with it. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
Bought the pro master tough as soon as I tried it on. 20 years the battery should be at 80%, love the utilitarian look and feel of it, the monocoque case and the feel of the way it wrapped around my wrist with the h link bracelet. It’s become my go to watch. Paid 326 usd with taxes in. Love it. Absolutely my perfect tool watch.

I took this comparison to be about toughness. With that in mind, I'd have to put my money on the Victorinox. As for the broad array of tests, I think the point is that the watch will stand up to just about anything.

Both are very good watches. I guess I am leaning toward the INOX. Yet for such a comparison, I'd throw Marathon into the mix. I am a big fan if tritium.

J. City Reviews I literally took off my Breitling Superocean 44 put on the Citizen and it’s been on ever since , it wears well and the stainless steel has the the most unique feel with the Duratect coating it’s hard to describe unless you try one on . I have about 15 or so watches and this one is definitely in the rotation.
Chris Hollister Nice! Sounds like you have an awesome collection! The coating on the Promaster Tough also gives it a darker gray color that I’ve always liked too.
Bit of an update on the Promaster Tough , after owning this watch for a month or so , I have to say I’m impressed . I don’t know the metallurgical specifics of Duratect however , I cannot find a single scratch on this watch . I’m generally really careful with my watches but this is unbelievable.
I agree with you about solar and thinner case, but for me the Inox Dial has a much better design in terms of aesthetics. It would be interesting to see which one is more resistant since that’s their selling proposition and the principal difference with their competitors.
Thanks for this video. Was just about going for the INOX but you changed my mind and I got the Citizen instead. Saved me quite a couple of bucks, since the INOX is definitely more expensive over here in Europe.
The moment you put the INOX on your wrist you know that it is definitely a man's watch. As solid and chunky it is, it wears surprisingly comfortable on the wrist. A great beater that I like so much, I also bought the automatic.

I'm an INOX owner, and I chose it for a couple of reasons, both functional and aesthetic. -The INOX comes in a rainbow of colors, multiple styles including the carbon case and 300m diver version, different types of stock bands (bracelet, natural rubber, leather, even paracord, to name a few) and recently the automatic with two different colors. The Promaster Tough comes in black, PVD black, and green... for now. -The INOX is just more interesting to look at, and a better conversation piece.

Jason The Watch Nerd Thanks for watching sir, I appreciate your thoughts and input. I’m glad you love your INOX! I think it’s a great watch for sure. I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already, I plan to do another watch giveaway whenever I get to the 1000 subscriber mark. For my first giveaway I gave away a Black Citizen Promaster Tough.
I thought this promaster tough can be accessed through the front? I've heard several people say that. So surely it's serviceable? Just harder to service than a standard case?
I am sure glad that I saw the scratch test you did with the Citizen. For me, definite deal breaker. I do like the Victorinox very much. The only thing that I don't like is the odd lug width. I did check before I made the order, the watch straps are easy to get.
A long time ago, I had a Victorinox Dive Master, which I believe has the same movement as the INOX in this review (Ronda). I had to have the movement replaced (the part was all of $10 or $15, I believe) when it just decided to quit--the watch was less than two years old. Swiss watches like these, in my opinion, are overbuilt on the bracelets and cases and cut corners under the hood. Japanese brands are better balanced between movement quality and quality of cases and bracelets...and perhaps Citizen strikes this balance better than any of them. Your verdict rings true with me.
I’m not into scrambling for batteries, it’s solar or nothing at all. The citizen is nice and understated, bulletproof. No nonsense, doesn’t try to be flashy like the equinox,With the angles in line. Just because it’s thicker doesn’t mean it’s better, in the watch world anyways

That citizen looks boss .. that INOX looks for bigger wrists .. that citizen lume superior to the INOX one.. the I think the citizen looks handsome and more practical .. the INOX inner chapter looks more for an automatic watch and it doesn't make sense. The citizen shows up just like here I'm and like me or dislike me and I don't care.. I KNOW WHO I'M!! Definately the citizen with that monocoque case.. less water potential leaks and that citizen easy to dress up and down .. both watches are awesome but citizen kick ass in the watch world big time! Great review, very fair comparison!
I wish they can combine the Eco-Drive of citizen and durability and appearance from Victorinox INOX. Solar power watch is so much better than mechanical and quartz.
Citizen makes (or did make) a Promaster Tough with arabic numerals, eco drove, full titanium, and WR 300m sold in the UK - often refered to as a Promaster Tough 'Ray Mears'. Really superb tool watch.
It seems like you can't go wrong with either one. They basically look alike at a similar, affordable price. Just a matter of preference; Swiss movement/Japanese movement, battery powered/solar powered, one is slightly thicker/heavier. ✌👍
I own a Victorinox and bought it when it was first released. It is one tough chunk of steel. Remember, the Citizen didn't pass your knife scratching test. Then again to be fair, the titanium coating is applied. Yet I don't think it would survive being run over by a 64-ton tank 😉
@Duncan Muncan, I think you are missing the point. If it can take that type of punishment, the INOX will certainly withstand anything that I will put it through.
@Duncan Muncan, sarcasm? LOL! I served 20 years in the Marine Corps and I know when something is tough and can stand the test. The Victorinox is on par with my Marathon.
I have both, and I love them both. The victrinox is heavy and strong, the citizen is more comfy to wear long term.. I think both will see me out nicely 😊👍
Quite an in-depth review, it's not often we get to see detailed reviews including movements, nor direct comparisons. As for me, I'm yet to discover all options, but atm, the monocoque case is a big no-no for me, as it means that the case isn't screw-down (bad for water resistance), and most importantly that you literally have to take out the bezel, remove the hands and the dial to change the solar cell/battery. And that is a trial that can put a lot of stress on the watch, not to mention you can end up with misaligned hands. So while the Citizen had the possibility to get more durable on the paper, in practice I'm not quite sure it is. =)
Terrific job...and the scratch test, too. I would love to see link pin mentions for the bracelets..split pin, pin and collar (pipe) screw, etc...Great camera work too...Thanks..btw just ordered the BJ7111-86L Citizen Promaster Marine import from SeiyaJapan
TERRY Thanks for watching and commenting! I’ll try and remember to mention pin link information! No promises though! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video! I’ll have to check out the watch you just ordered.
Victorinox is a more elegant and more refined watch. All being said I purchased today the Promaster. I have a radio controlled Citizen for years, but I gave up on it because size. It is way to large for every day use. Today I chose a simpler design in a smaller package. I'm planning to replace the band as Citizen bands don't fit my wrist AND save some weight. Thx for review and have a good day!

Mark Fallon Nice! I don’t have any experience with Suunto but I know they are very popular. Have you ever consider a Casio Pro Trek “ABC” watch? They probably have all the same functions as a Suunto but with Solar Power. I have a few models that I’ve featured on my channel.
Hi nice video, both are nice but the inox looks better. I’ve got the inox automatic and it’s a beautiful good quality watch, which I tend to enjoy, although both are very nice . Solar power is fantastic
CrackityJones Thanks for watching and commenting! I think you know my opinion on the matter! Citizen! I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we’ll be doing another watch giveaway! You won’t want to miss it! Who knows the Victorinox might be included ...
The INOX is better looking and the date window is larger. The seconds hand does not line up with the seconds indices on the Promaster Tough. That drives me up the wall.
I’ve never had a citizen not line up including promaster tough. Inox however are absolutely known to not line up including mine- Victorinox in general typically don’t line up.
I have owned both, and am going to get another Citizen PMT. The INOX is extremely comfortable and balanced on the wrist. But, the odd lug width and odd clasp make the bracelet a no go, until you get used to it. However the lume is also horrible, as in Casio MDV106 horrible. My only gripe with the Citizen is that the minute hand needs to be about 1mm longer.
Found your video because I wanted INOX compared to something, anything. I agree with you if you're into quartz regarding battery. But IMHO, nothing come ahead of automatic watch, that's why my next grail is INOX Mechanical. I also love its toughness and look (though mechanical are more fragile, but still casing is manufactured to last a lifetime)... anyhow, great video, thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Marc-Albert Jaquat Thanks for watching and commenting sir! Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your INOX mechanical when you get it! I hope you’ll subscribe to the channel! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we’ll be doing another watch giveaway! You won’t want to miss it!
One of the best comparisons. Yes you did mention about the dial markers and a difficult clasp mechanism. Although I don't like the date in the Promaster but due to the made and solar powered movement, thinness I would go for the Ctizen Promaster. You could add some macroshot of the dial with running second hand closely.
@@TheTownWatch I wish you all the very best in getting your 1k subscribers. However could you repeat what I have to do to take part in the giveaway if this Citizen Promaster....thank you.

Nice review. I actually have the Pro Master and the Diver Version of the INOX. The Diver Version is slightly larger, has a standard foldover clasp, and also is ISO certified. In this case I would definitely go with the Promaster , main reason the Eco Drive. No battery changes. I would say the INOX is nicer looking, but the the purpose definitely the Promaster
Wait, you won't ever have to change the battery on the pro master ? Not even after 10 20 years ? Also, isn't there a diver version of the pro master tough ?
@@dragos8839 It is possible that the battery will need to be replaced at some point, but I have heard Citizen Eco Drives going for over 20. There is a Pro Master Diver, I have never heard it refereed to as part of the tough line. It has a mineral crystal, and does not have the anti-scratch coating.
@@surfitli are the diver series durable ? I found one for a great price (around 230 euros) and I may bite the bullet on it. Will it last decades ? Is it the type of watch to pass on to your kids lol. I may want too much from a 200 euros watch but will it last more than a battery change at least (20 years as you said) ?
@@dragos8839 I’m sorry, I really don’t have the answers you want. I really don’t wear either of these watches, so Can’t say how they are in the real world.
Ok so the Citizen does have its advantages - EcoDrive, better loom, lighter, scratch resistant, easier clasp. But the INOX for me just looks more substantial and stands out, and that hexagon bezel is so unique.
@@TheTownWatch I ended up purchasing the INOX. The vid was definitely informative. The clasp takes some getting used to but this is one fantastic looking watch. I have a lot more expensive watches in my collection but this stacks up well against any of them in the looks department.
The promaster could literally be your life time watch. Inox is more refined but promaster wins the “tough and durable” category. Oh, and the lume is way better.
Gene Steger Thanks for watching and commenting! The INOX is a tough watch no doubt and Victorinox has put it through a lot of tests but I prefer my Promaster Tough!
Promaster all the way for me !!!! Love the date window on the Promaster and the lume is way better . For a tool watch the inox has a clasp that will make you open whit 2 hands😁
@@TheTownWatch Australia. I bought a Seiko instead and happy with it. I would still get the Citizen if I could see it somewhere but it must be hiding, I can’t even see one online that can be bought. I think Jomoshop has it but no warranty and not much less than retail. I don’t buy stuff from suspect sellers.
@@aussie8114 I understand! Glad you found a good Seiko! Yeah, I checked my Amazon links and it seems to be unavailable there. Hopefully you can find one in a store to look at some time!
@@TheTownWatch Citizen. Bracelet is a huge con I never realized with the Inox. Citizen not a fan of the tiny date. Only concerns with the Citizen is servicing which will take special service and Eco-drive which they say you shouldn't let die from no sunlight, so important to keep it going and not sockdrawer.
Hans F. Qua 😂 No, but I do have some scratch test videos that you should check out! I realized after I made this video how much I was hitting the watches together! Very cringy! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I hope you’ll subscribe! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we’ll be doing another watch giveaway! You won’t want to miss it!
I bought the Citizen and hadn't even opened the box when I saw your scratch test. I immediately went back to the the AD and returned the watch. How would you compare the solar Seiko Tuna with the Victorinox? I like everything about it, however, I would really like to have a solar watch in my collection.
Simon Menges No watch is going to be scratch proof. I still love and wear my citizens Promaster tough everyday. That test was more done out of curiosity to see if their claims were true. I don’t have the solar tuna anymore but it was a good watch. Hard to compare with the INOX because their so different. Solar watches are great, you should get one at some point.
@@TheTownWatch, I didn't say that the watch was scratch proof, however, Citizen's scratch resistant claim falls short of expectation. I agree that I should get a solar watch in my collection. The Tough is just not tough enough for my liking. As for the Seiko, I was vague with my question. Is it as tough as the INOX?
Simon Menges I think the INOX would be the tougher watch compared to the solar tuna. The quartz INOX has gone through a number of torture tests but I don’t know of any such tests for the solar tuna which I reviews previously on my channel.
Hey what about the accuracy of those watches? At the end those are watches that suppose to tell us time... Isn't this what we should ask at the first place before the color and body material? Thanks
Promaster without hesitation. Titanium is superior IMO and the lume is utterly superior aswell if my Promaster vs. my Certina Diver is anything to go by. Not to mention Eco-Drive!
OES 25 Thanks for watching and commenting! I really enjoy my Promaster Tough! I’m wearing it right now! It’s made out of stainless steel but has Citizen’s “super titanium” coating.
Hi nice Video xD xD I have a watch 3x Victorinox and for me the best ... 1. Victorinox Original Chrono Limited Edition 2. Victorinox Inox Paracord and My Lasky are Victorinox Alpnach Mechanical Chrono I LOVE VICTORINOX WATCH AND KNIFE ...
The Inox looks way better, especially the hexagonal bezel. The Citizen looks cheaper. The titanium is only a coated gimmick. The Citizen clasp is a milled fold over deployment but edges look sharp and cheaply cut out. The Inox is no bigger then a Seiko SKX, actually slightly thinner. Batteries are easy to come by, can get them at any jeweler or dept store. The Inox clasp is no different then putting on a buckle strap, may take a few times to get used to, it's a much cleaner look. The Inox dial looks much cleaner and higher quality. The swiss quartz movement is proven and robust. I would go with the Inox any day.
70DMac Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The INOX is a good watch, I agree. The “super titanium” coating on the Citizen is not a gimmick but does help against scratches. Check out my video where I compare stainless steel versus this coating. I hope you’ll subscribe, once we reach 1000 subscribers I’ll be doing another watch giveaway. You won’t want to miss it.
@@TheTownWatch I did watch your video on the Citizen Promaster tough and the scratch test. Looks as if it didn't offer much more protection than the uncoated stainless. Either way it's a really nice watch but I just like the looks of the Inox better plus its different. I own several Japanese watches and I'm a Seiko fan but the Japanese watches for some reason always miss the mark just a little in styling. Love my Seiko samurai but it has shortcomings in the band and crystal.
70DMac Nice, I’m glad you saw that scratch test comparison between the two. According to the Mohs hardness scale the “super titanium” started scratching two levels higher than the SS. I think that is a significant difference. I still have my INOX from my videos if you’re interested in buying it, we could work something out. It’s practically brand new, I never wore it outside the house but only handled it for review purposes.
@@TheTownWatch Thanks but I actually purchased one and waiting for it to be shipped. I like them both but picked the Inox because of the looks and its different. I appreciate the videos.
I like the citizen better because of the case thinness and wearabili. But I wish the stainless steel was brighter, I don’t like the dull look that the coating gives it.
That's great! Anything from the casio G-Shock or Pro Trek line is going to be tough. The Casio Pro Trek PRW-50T-7ACR is nice and has a titanium bracelet. Not sure if the case is titanium though.
Victoriniox looks better but the Citizen is smaller and more wearable. And the color of the metal on the promaster tough looks like titanium which makes it more desirable.

I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already, I plan to do another watch giveaway whenever I get to the 1000 subscriber mark. For my first giveaway I gave away a Black Citizen Promaster Tough.
I thought this promaster tough can be accessed through the front? I've heard several people say that. So surely it's serviceable? Just harder to service than a standard case?
SimonTheWatchGuy Yes, I believe you’re right. Maybe at some point I’ll get enough courage to try and open it up for a video.
Nah, the citizen IS serviceable
Yes, the Eco-drive is very nice.
I am sure glad that I saw the scratch test you did with the Citizen. For me, definite deal breaker. I do like the Victorinox very much. The only thing that I don't like is the odd lug width. I did check before I made the order, the watch straps are easy to get.
Thanks for watching! Glad some of my videos can be helpful!
I'm sure there is no watch out there that can withstand being scratched by a knife blade, just saying...
@@SavedbyHim, my point is that the watch is still susceptible to scratches. Now we are debating the degree of toughness. Just saying. 😉
I would definitely lean toward the victorinox although both are nice watches
A long time ago, I had a Victorinox Dive Master, which I believe has the same movement as the INOX in this review (Ronda). I had to have the movement replaced (the part was all of $10 or $15, I believe) when it just decided to quit--the watch was less than two years old. Swiss watches like these, in my opinion, are overbuilt on the bracelets and cases and cut corners under the hood. Japanese brands are better balanced between movement quality and quality of cases and bracelets...and perhaps Citizen strikes this balance better than any of them. Your verdict rings true with me.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I’m not into scrambling for batteries, it’s solar or nothing at all. The citizen is nice and understated, bulletproof. No nonsense, doesn’t try to be flashy like the equinox,With the angles in line. Just because it’s thicker doesn’t mean it’s better, in the watch world anyways
Ken Desjarlais Thanks for watching and commenting! I agree! I hope you’ll subscribe, I’m going to be doing another watch giveaway once I reach 1000 subscribers! You won’t want to miss it!

Yeah. I'm not buying another non solar quartz every again. Only have one non solar quartz as it is, and the battery has been dead for a long time.
@@waterzap99 Solar is the way to go!
The equinox? I've never tried that!
I have both and I like both 50/50

Thanks for subscribing!
That citizen looks boss .. that INOX looks for bigger wrists .. that citizen lume superior to the INOX one.. the I think the citizen looks handsome and more practical .. the INOX inner chapter looks more for an automatic watch and it doesn't make sense. The citizen shows up just like here I'm and like me or dislike me and I don't care.. I KNOW WHO I'M!! Definately the citizen with that monocoque case.. less water potential leaks and that citizen easy to dress up and down .. both watches are awesome but citizen kick ass in the watch world big time!
Great review, very fair comparison!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Give Away that was ........interesting!
Citizen is my choice, I just bought one two days ago. Thanks for the nice video.
Good choice! Thanks for watching!
Citizen promaster is thoughtfully designed and is beautiful :)
Yes, I agree!
I wish they can combine the Eco-Drive of citizen and durability and appearance from Victorinox INOX. Solar power watch is so much better than mechanical and quartz.
That would be cool! Thanks for watching!
Citizen makes (or did make) a Promaster Tough with arabic numerals, eco drove, full titanium, and WR 300m sold in the UK - often refered to as a Promaster Tough 'Ray Mears'. Really superb tool watch.
It seems like you can't go wrong with either one. They basically look alike at a similar, affordable price.
Just a matter of preference; Swiss movement/Japanese movement, battery powered/solar powered, one is slightly thicker/heavier. ✌👍
You got it!
I own a Victorinox and bought it when it was first released. It is one tough chunk of steel. Remember, the Citizen didn't pass your knife scratching test. Then again to be fair, the titanium coating is applied. Yet I don't think it would survive being run over by a 64-ton tank 😉
Thanks for watching and commenting! I wish I had a tank to run it over with to see! :)
Duncan Muncan True!
@Duncan Muncan, I think you are missing the point. If it can take that type of punishment, the INOX will certainly withstand anything that I will put it through.
@Duncan Muncan, sarcasm? LOL! I served 20 years in the Marine Corps and I know when something is tough and can stand the test. The Victorinox is on par with my Marathon.
64 ton tank had rubber tracks
I think the citizen is the best but in the future if the watch needs service the Victorinox would be easier to repair because of the case back
I think you’re probably right. Thanks for watching!
Objectively I would favour the Citizen, eco-drive, better clasp. But the Victorinox looks better and seems to be bulletproof. I'd take either!
Ronald P Yes absolutely! They are both great watches! Thanks for tuning in and commenting! I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already!
@@TheTownWatch Yes, subscribed!
Ronald P Thank you! That really helps the channel out!
I have both, and I love them both.
The victrinox is heavy and strong, the citizen is more comfy to wear long term.. I think both will see me out nicely 😊👍
Glad you're enjoying both! Thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you check out more of my content and consider subscribing if you haven't already!
Quite an in-depth review, it's not often we get to see detailed reviews including movements, nor direct comparisons.
As for me, I'm yet to discover all options, but atm, the monocoque case is a big no-no for me, as it means that the case isn't screw-down (bad for water resistance), and most importantly that you literally have to take out the bezel, remove the hands and the dial to change the solar cell/battery. And that is a trial that can put a lot of stress on the watch, not to mention you can end up with misaligned hands. So while the Citizen had the possibility to get more durable on the paper, in practice I'm not quite sure it is. =)
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed! Thanks for sharing your thoughts too!
Terrific job...and the scratch test, too. I would love to see link pin mentions for the bracelets..split pin, pin and collar (pipe) screw, etc...Great camera work too...Thanks..btw just ordered the BJ7111-86L Citizen Promaster Marine import from SeiyaJapan
TERRY Thanks for watching and commenting! I’ll try and remember to mention pin link information! No promises though! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the video! I’ll have to check out the watch you just ordered.
@@TheTownWatch okay thanks JC
It's Citizen for me every time, but have a look at the Citizen PMD56-2952 !!
Victorinox is a more elegant and more refined watch. All being said I purchased today the Promaster. I have a radio controlled Citizen for years, but I gave up on it because size. It is way to large for every day use. Today I chose a simpler design in a smaller package. I'm planning to replace the band as Citizen bands don't fit my wrist AND save some weight.
Thx for review and have a good day!
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy your Promaster!
Based on looks the Victorinox smashes it. Based on everything scientific and technical it's the citizen
Brian Cullen Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts, for me personally I like the looks of the Citizen more, not saying the Victorinox is ugly. I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we’ll be doing another watch giveaway! You won’t want to miss it!
I subbed
@@TheTownWatch can you compare one of these to the Orient star diver?
Brian Cullen I would love too! Don’t have one at the moment though... Thanks for the sub!
Cool watches. I like them both, but I lead a very active lifestyle. As a mountaineer and rock climber, I'd go with the INOX.
Mark Fallon The INOX is probably the tougher watch. What do you wear currently when go rock climbing etc?
@@TheTownWatch, I am a big fan of Suunto.
Mark Fallon Nice! I don’t have any experience with Suunto but I know they are very popular. Have you ever consider a Casio Pro Trek “ABC” watch? They probably have all the same functions as a Suunto but with Solar Power. I have a few models that I’ve featured on my channel.
@@TheTownWatch, I also like the notion of having a solar timepiece.
Hi nice video, both are nice but the inox looks better. I’ve got the inox automatic and it’s a beautiful good quality watch, which I tend to enjoy, although both are very nice . Solar power is fantastic
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
I think the victorinox INOX is tougher! I will buy the Victorinox INOX.
Great comparision, one of these could be my next watch and i dont know which one! Leaning towards the citizen now
CrackityJones Thanks for watching and commenting! I think you know my opinion on the matter! Citizen! I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we’ll be doing another watch giveaway! You won’t want to miss it! Who knows the Victorinox might be included ...
@@TheTownWatch Thanks for your reply, already subscribed, your reviews are shot very well, im sure the subs will start shooting up.
The INOX is better looking and the date window is larger. The seconds hand does not line up with the seconds indices on the Promaster Tough. That drives me up the wall.
I’ve never had a citizen not line up including promaster tough. Inox however are absolutely known to not line up including mine- Victorinox in general typically don’t line up.
I have owned both, and am going to get another Citizen PMT. The INOX is extremely comfortable and balanced on the wrist. But, the odd lug width and odd clasp make the bracelet a no go, until you get used to it. However the lume is also horrible, as in Casio MDV106 horrible. My only gripe with the Citizen is that the minute hand needs to be about 1mm longer.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Great video, very informative & thanks for sharing! I have both. Just curious why you wear gloves if you are constantly rubbing the watches together?
Thanks for watching! This was one of my very first videos on my channel, so I was still a beginner! 😁
Found your video because I wanted INOX compared to something, anything. I agree with you if you're into quartz regarding battery. But IMHO, nothing come ahead of automatic watch, that's why my next grail is INOX Mechanical. I also love its toughness and look (though mechanical are more fragile, but still casing is manufactured to last a lifetime)... anyhow, great video, thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Marc-Albert Jaquat Thanks for watching and commenting sir! Glad you enjoyed the video. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your INOX mechanical when you get it! I hope you’ll subscribe to the channel! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we’ll be doing another watch giveaway! You won’t want to miss it!
Citizen seems like the runaway winner. Thanks!
I definitely like the Citizen better! Thanks for watching!
One of the best comparisons. Yes you did mention about the dial markers and a difficult clasp mechanism. Although I don't like the date in the Promaster but due to the made and solar powered movement, thinness I would go for the Ctizen Promaster. You could add some macroshot of the dial with running second hand closely.
Imran Chowdhury Thanks for tuning in! I hope to upgrade my camera situation to get some better shots eventually.
@@TheTownWatch I wish you all the very best in getting your 1k subscribers. However could you repeat what I have to do to take part in the giveaway if this Citizen Promaster....thank you.

😆 yesterday YT recommended a Promaster video to me, and I commented that it reminds me of INOX and now this. 😆
That’s funny! The all knowing UA-cam comes through! 😅 Hope you enjoyed the video!
I.N.O.X is the best!!! Swiss military tank on my wrist
they look similar but the INOX wins the looks dept in my opinion. but it seems the citizen is the better overall watch
All Things Important 89 They are both good watches that’s for sure! Thanks for tuning in!
Thanks for the great review.......and the winner is......Citizen all the way....!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
I hope citizen makes a diver version of the tough with circular markers
Brian Cullen That would be awesome!
Nice review.
I actually have the Pro Master and the Diver Version of the INOX. The Diver Version is slightly larger, has a standard foldover clasp, and also is ISO certified.
In this case I would definitely go with the Promaster , main reason the Eco Drive. No battery changes. I would say the INOX is nicer looking, but the the purpose definitely the Promaster
surfitli Thanks for watching and commenting! I like the INOX but prefer the Promaster overall, I wear my Promaster regularly.
Wait, you won't ever have to change the battery on the pro master ? Not even after 10 20 years ? Also, isn't there a diver version of the pro master tough ?
@@dragos8839 It is possible that the battery will need to be replaced at some point, but I have heard Citizen Eco Drives going for over 20.
There is a Pro Master Diver, I have never heard it refereed to as part of the tough line. It has a mineral crystal, and does not have the anti-scratch coating.
@@surfitli are the diver series durable ? I found one for a great price (around 230 euros) and I may bite the bullet on it. Will it last decades ? Is it the type of watch to pass on to your kids lol. I may want too much from a 200 euros watch but will it last more than a battery change at least (20 years as you said) ?
@@dragos8839 I’m sorry, I really don’t have the answers you want. I really don’t wear either of these watches, so Can’t say how they are in the real world.
Ok so the Citizen does have its advantages - EcoDrive, better loom, lighter, scratch resistant, easier clasp. But the INOX for me just looks more substantial and stands out, and that hexagon bezel is so unique.
Thanks for watching! The INOX is a nice looking watch!
@@TheTownWatch I ended up purchasing the INOX. The vid was definitely informative. The clasp takes some getting used to but this is one fantastic looking watch. I have a lot more expensive watches in my collection but this stacks up well against any of them in the looks department.
Solar and titanium all the way!!
The Citizen is made of Stainless Steel but has a coating which Citizen calls "Super Titanium". Just wanted to make that clear. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, I know. You did mention it on your previous video. :D
@@Nauta899 Just wanted to make sure, it's easy to get confused by this!
The promaster could literally be your life time watch. Inox is more refined but promaster wins the “tough and durable” category. Oh, and the lume is way better.
Gene Steger Thanks for watching and commenting! The INOX is a tough watch no doubt and Victorinox has put it through a lot of tests but I prefer my Promaster Tough!
I have the INOX but i think i will get me the Citizen too. Greetings from Germany..
Edit: to be hornest i prefer a little the Citizen.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Victorinox!!
SweetHome Francisco Valladares It’s a good watch!
Promaster all the way for me !!!!
Love the date window on the Promaster and the lume is way better .
For a tool watch the inox has a clasp that will make you open whit 2 hands😁
It’s a good one! Thanks for watching!
Promaster, my choice.
Tan Tu Glad you agree! 😊
Both look very nice. I was going to get the citizen but none of the shops here sell them.
Thanks for watching! Where are you located? Do you have access to order online?
@@TheTownWatch Australia. I bought a Seiko instead and happy with it. I would still get the Citizen if I could see it somewhere but it must be hiding, I can’t even see one online that can be bought. I think Jomoshop has it but no warranty and not much less than retail. I don’t buy stuff from suspect sellers.
@@aussie8114 I understand! Glad you found a good Seiko! Yeah, I checked my Amazon links and it seems to be unavailable there. Hopefully you can find one in a store to look at some time!
My exact dilemma lately. Thanks.
I hope this review helped you! Which watch are you leaning towards right now?
@@TheTownWatch Citizen. Bracelet is a huge con I never realized with the Inox. Citizen not a fan of the tiny date. Only concerns with the Citizen is servicing which will take special service and Eco-drive which they say you shouldn't let die from no sunlight, so important to keep it going and not sockdrawer.
Cool! Hope you can pick one up soon!
Do you intentionally let the watches clash at each other to prove the scratch resistance? Good review by the way.
Hans F. Qua 😂 No, but I do have some scratch test videos that you should check out! I realized after I made this video how much I was hitting the watches together! Very cringy! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. I hope you’ll subscribe! Once we reach 1000 subscribers we’ll be doing another watch giveaway! You won’t want to miss it!
I bought the Citizen and hadn't even opened the box when I saw your scratch test. I immediately went back to the the AD and returned the watch. How would you compare the solar Seiko Tuna with the Victorinox? I like everything about it, however, I would really like to have a solar watch in my collection.
Simon Menges No watch is going to be scratch proof. I still love and wear my citizens Promaster tough everyday. That test was more done out of curiosity to see if their claims were true. I don’t have the solar tuna anymore but it was a good watch. Hard to compare with the INOX because their so different. Solar watches are great, you should get one at some point.
@@TheTownWatch, I didn't say that the watch was scratch proof, however, Citizen's scratch resistant claim falls short of expectation. I agree that I should get a solar watch in my collection. The Tough is just not tough enough for my liking. As for the Seiko, I was vague with my question. Is it as tough as the INOX?
Simon Menges I think the INOX would be the tougher watch compared to the solar tuna. The quartz INOX has gone through a number of torture tests but I don’t know of any such tests for the solar tuna which I reviews previously on my channel.
@@TheTownWatch, thank you very much.
Simon Menges Thank you for tuning in!
I like that citizen tough and had me thinking if i could sell my limited fugu to get a silver tough..
Keep the fugu and get the Promaster tough too! Can’t have too many watches right!?
The true torture test was watching you rub the two watches together! LOL
😅😂🤣 Glad you enjoyed that part! Thanks for watching!
Citizen, all day 👍
Thanks for watching!
ProMaster all the way. I’ll be ordering mine tomorrow!
Great choice, it’s a wonderful watch!
Inox very nice. I love it
Thanks a lot for the nice work mate!
Thanks for watching!
Hey what about the accuracy of those watches? At the end those are watches that suppose to tell us time... Isn't this what we should ask at the first place before the color and body material? Thanks
Quartz watches are typically the same across the board when it comes to accuracy. I believe it is +/- 15 seconds per month. Thanks for watching.
The Inox with a after market strap rubber or leather is the way to go .
Billy Tscherne Definitely not a bad choice! Thanks for watching!
I would choose the Citizen with the green dial and a horween strap.
That's a cool one! Thanks for watching!
Promaster without hesitation. Titanium is superior IMO and the lume is utterly superior aswell if my Promaster vs. my Certina Diver is anything to go by. Not to mention Eco-Drive!
OES 25 Thanks for watching and commenting! I really enjoy my Promaster Tough! I’m wearing it right now! It’s made out of stainless steel but has Citizen’s “super titanium” coating.
@@TheTownWatch Ah, that's right. I forgot 😅
OES 25 Just wanted to clarify, no big deal!
Hi nice Video xD xD
I have a watch 3x Victorinox and for me the best ...
1. Victorinox Original Chrono Limited Edition
2. Victorinox Inox Paracord
and My Lasky are Victorinox Alpnach Mechanical Chrono
I LOVE VICTORINOX WATCH AND KNIFE ...
Awesome! Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy your Victorinox watches in good health!
It is hard to see when the watches' crystals are rubbed constantly against that wood table.
Hope they are tough enough.
that’s a decent ass lookin SS victorinox; to hell wit that citizen
Great comparison !! I will go with citizen :)
Wizard Watch Thanks for watching! Glad you agree with my verdict! 😉
@@TheTownWatch The victorinox is a good watch but too much chunky imo :)
The citizen isn't just stainless steel (hence the colour difference in part) - it's coated in titanium!!!
Yes.
Victorinox is prettier. Citizen is more practical
Have both in my collection. I love them!
Awesome! They’re good watches! Thanks for tuning in!
The Inox looks way better, especially the hexagonal bezel. The Citizen looks cheaper. The titanium is only a coated gimmick. The Citizen clasp is a milled fold over deployment but edges look sharp and cheaply cut out. The Inox is no bigger then a Seiko SKX, actually slightly thinner. Batteries are easy to come by, can get them at any jeweler or dept store. The Inox clasp is no different then putting on a buckle strap, may take a few times to get used to, it's a much cleaner look. The Inox dial looks much cleaner and higher quality. The swiss quartz movement is proven and robust. I would go with the Inox any day.
70DMac Thanks for sharing your thoughts! The INOX is a good watch, I agree. The “super titanium” coating on the Citizen is not a gimmick but does help against scratches. Check out my video where I compare stainless steel versus this coating. I hope you’ll subscribe, once we reach 1000 subscribers I’ll be doing another watch giveaway. You won’t want to miss it.
@@TheTownWatch I did watch your video on the Citizen Promaster tough and the scratch test. Looks as if it didn't offer much more protection than the uncoated stainless. Either way it's a really nice watch but I just like the looks of the Inox better plus its different. I own several Japanese watches and I'm a Seiko fan but the Japanese watches for some reason always miss the mark just a little in styling. Love my Seiko samurai but it has shortcomings in the band and crystal.
70DMac Nice, I’m glad you saw that scratch test comparison between the two. According to the Mohs hardness scale the “super titanium” started scratching two levels higher than the SS. I think that is a significant difference. I still have my INOX from my videos if you’re interested in buying it, we could work something out. It’s practically brand new, I never wore it outside the house but only handled it for review purposes.
@@TheTownWatch Thanks but I actually purchased one and waiting for it to be shipped. I like them both but picked the Inox because of the looks and its different. I appreciate the videos.
70DMac Gotch, hope you enjoy it!
I like the citizen better because of the case thinness and wearabili. But I wish the stainless steel was brighter, I don’t like the dull look that the coating gives it.
Both watches looks great ..but i 'll stick with CITIZEN ..my oldest one is 25 years old and works like a new.............
That's awesome! Thanks for watching! I love my Promaster Tough!
What are your opinions of Victorinox watches? I am very interested in this brand. I do want to treat myself. Thanking you 🙏
I have an INOX and a Marathon. Any recommendations for another tough steel watch? Big and tough, that's what I like.
That's great! Anything from the casio G-Shock or Pro Trek line is going to be tough. The Casio Pro Trek PRW-50T-7ACR is nice and has a titanium bracelet. Not sure if the case is titanium though.
@@TheTownWatch , thanks.
Chris Menes Absolutely!
Like the design of Victorinox but citizen kind of beats everything else... especially on my 7 in wrist, 53mm lug to lug is just way too big 😭
Thanks for watching!
The Inox is more class, more chic.!
Daniel Barras It’s a nice piece! Thanks for watching! I hope you’ll subscribe if you’re not already!
Victoriniox looks better but the Citizen is smaller and more wearable. And the color of the metal on the promaster tough looks like titanium which makes it more desirable.
Thanks for watching!
Nice review. I like the Citizen. But I love watches so I would take anyone.
Thank you! They are both good choices.
