    Citizen deserves TONS of credit for the Eco-Drive. It works, and they have proven that out over 30 years of full-on market exposure. Seriously, I saw the first ones in the early 90s. Even Seiko couldn't get their Solar movements to perform as well. Citizen is capable of great things, and this new auto confirms it.

    I purchased the yellow dial citizen in November 2022 after seeing the watch on IG. The yellow dial really captured my eye and it's stunning to look at and I also have received several comments and a lot of people have asked me where I purchased the watch because it's not available in America.

    I'd prefer to get a Citizen Ecodrive in this price range because they're the most easy to use everyday watches I've ever had, no battery changes, no winding and they're accurate as well. You can choose from hundreds of models, simple 3hander to Chrono to GMT. Citizen QC is also much better than other brands in the same price range.

    • @ercanbanka5377
      @ercanbanka5377 7 місяців тому

      This sounds Interesting and makes sense , i usually don't like quarz Movements , but the Eco Drive is a good alternative to Automatic watches , not from the point of accuracy , i know quarz would beat Automatic movements easely , it's just i am oldschool , a Real watch has to be Automatic in my Opinion .

    I was looking for a new seiko as a daily wear, but when trying on the new models I didn't like them. To big, ugly dials and expensive. They also had a tsuyosa which caught my eye immediately, I tryed it on my wrist and now I own one, with the black dial. It runs a little fast (7-10 sec a day) but to my surprise this model has hacking, the reviews I saw didn't have hacking.
    The bracelet looks nice and feels very comfortable, very good budget watch in my opinion.

    People sing this watches praises and I agree it's very good looking and well finshed. But anyone who is thinking buying this should know the next things.
    The quality feel is bretty bad, I don't expect watch this price to be solid, but this is worse thab another watches I have handeledbin this prizepoint. The date looks shotty and its really hard to wind.
    Also the dial look very different in real life. In sunlight it's lot paler yellow than in the pctures. And the dial color changes a lot depending on the lighting. This ofcourse can be positive thing to some.
    It's a very bretty thing, but all the money has went to the aesthetics in this one.

    I have a big wrist, so that's not the issue; I'm just a little tired of the big watch fashion. Big strong soldiers in WWII wore 33mm watches.
