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.

[@hellper198]

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.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Agreed 💯

[@mohamednayad]

💯 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.

[@kamalpreetsinghgill1396]

Not to mention display caseback either brings WR down, Increase thickness or both, making it sit little higher on the wrist.

[@Mackster248]

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.

[@zionkid420]

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.

[@boris0gto]

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!

[@mkmd8959]

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.

[@roo2dee2]

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.

[@genghiskhan7041]

Bulova makes their own stuff. They do use Citizen's Miyota movements in their automatics.

[@ThePizzaPaolo]

I own a bulova lunar pilot and love the high precisionist movement!! No need for a eco drive one, additionally they may own bulova but they are still 2 separate brands

[@chucko31499]

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

[@SpiceLifeWithShams]

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.

[@Verlie-o6l]

It always amazes me how much beauty and precision are added to the parts of amzwatch's watch 99% of people will never see.

[@WiesemanKazemi]

My watch was purchased 2 years ago from MAMACOO 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.

[@JolynDehne]

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.

[@RubyeHalloway]

I point it out because I care deeply about your videos and the watches you showcase. 👍

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.

[@Ben-bs4od]

Best $500 or below watch on the market. 100% agree. Much better value than a Grand Seiko.

[@kevineccles7766]

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.

[@MrThechonz]

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.

[@Don-yf6yo]

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.

[@BoboacaDoxaras]

When it comes to fine imitation watches, amzwatch delivers. I've bought from them several times, and I've never been let down.

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.

[@tomroeder7348]

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.

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.

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.

Citizen definitely makes fantastic affordable watches.I bought an eco drive chronograph 12 years ago,works just like the day I bought it

[@vonkruel]

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.
