Citizens Forza Super Titanium

[@floydmorrison2025]

Just discovered your channel...currently working my way back thru all of your brilliant videos!! These Forza's look great, but IMO for the money, the far more attractive offering from Citizen is the NB-1050-59L range: 38mm, 10.5mm thick, and most importantly it has the Citizen 9011 calibre inside, which blows any 8-series Miyota out of the water!! They come with either a blue, silver-white, black or anthracite grey dial. These are available from Sakurawatches for $364 (best price I could find...). It's basically a SARB killer from Citizen!!! I have the blue dial version, and it is a stunning watch!! I honestly would've paid twice what I paid for it!! It's that good!!! Anyway, I've really been enjoying your videos!!! Thank you so much for making them!!! Your Sinn collection is EPIC!!! Cheers!!

[@floydmorrison2025]

I should've also mentioned that these NB-1050-59L watches have sapphire crystals and are also treated with Citizen's proprietary hardness coating, which has held up extremely well since I purchased the watch. I realize that these Forza's are an entirely different animal altogether, being titanium with an integrated bracelet (I will be getting one for sure!), but as far as value for money-bang for buck, you really just can't beat these NB-1050-59L's!! 🔥💥🎉💫

Cheers Floyd and nice of you to say Sir, $364 is a real bargain I'd get one myself for that price Ps glad your enjoying the videos which are your favourite brands ?

[@ClickSpringReview]

I'll check them out and maybe review one over the next few months 👍🏻

[@ClickSpringReview]

Cheers its good of you to say Floyd, $364 I'd buy one myself for sure, Glad your enjoying the video's :)

@@ClickSpringReview You should pick one up! I promise you won't be disappointed!! I failed to mention that the bracelet is super solid and very well done with fitted end links and great tolerances. Display case back as well! My favorite brands?.... I basically like everything lol!! I just love watches!!! Perhaps the best way to answer that is to tell you my last three watch purchases: a Smiths Everest gilt dial, a Monta Atlas GMT and a Seiko spb237 Willard with the vintage grey dial....all picked up in fantastic condition on the secondary market (reddit or watchuseek) at really great discounted prices!! But if I'm being real, I'm a true Seiko-path at heart, and just can't have enough Seikos in my collection!!! My grandfather wore a cheap early 70s Seiko 5 on his wrist every single day, and I remember just gazing at the movement thru the display case back in awe when I was ten years old! My love of Seiko started there, and continues to this day!!!

These look pretty slick. I picked up a titanium Citizen last fall. My only titanium watch. Great company.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I was surprised just how much I liked them myself

[@micaljimenez7381]

Citizen with tsuyosa do a great job,the serie 8 to gmt,they change all the image of the brand,seiko looks old fashion in comparation now.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I've recorded a video of the new Red Arrows Le Auto GMT model which will come out soon

[@jamespingel8730]

Great looking watches, though I'd have to go for one of the eco-drive models. I have enough mechanical watches to wind and service already. I have a few solar powered quartz and it's really nice to just never worry about them.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thats a fair comment James 👍🏻

[@Hectorsdad]

Enthusiastic as ever. Cracking stuff Mr CSR. 👍🏻

[@ClickSpringReview]

Why thank you sir

[@robertlock6041]

Hi Barry, I really like these, but prefer the white. The Tsuyosa models are great too, if you prefer steel. I'd be interested to see a review of some of the Series 8 models: they look pretty good too. The Tsuyosas, these Forzas and the Series 8 models really have their own design cues that seem to defy categorisation, and I think that they're more desirable as a result. Thanks Barry, you've got another winner here... LG Bob 🍻🍻🍻

[@ClickSpringReview]

Noted Bob I can review one but maybe not for a month or so, if I forget please remind me matey

[@russellseah2347]

The EcoDrive version has a better dial symmetry, smaller case if 39mm and thinner. The dark bkue dial is stunning.,matcging the grade 5 titanium hue. Amazing value.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its a shame they don't have the automatic with a centre second hand also Russell

[@cookiesncrypto]

@@ClickSpringReview then it would just be too perfect wouldnt it lol "Big" center seconds probably made them put a small seconds lol

[@samnova450]

Love the Super Titanium watches from Citizen. Blue is my favorite color and I really like that Tiffany color one. But.. I’m leaning towards the white dial for certain dress events. Another decision I’m trying to make, do I get the Mechanical vs the eco-drive Forza in White. 🤔

[@ClickSpringReview]

Its a tough one Sam but I'd probably go with the automatic look after it and it will last you a lifetime

[@RandomPadestrian]

The green one is beautiful but hard to style with clothes. I say white or blue is more compatible

[@ClickSpringReview]

Yep same here

[@evinen]

I hope they make a 36mm version of this just like the twelve. Integrated bracelets wear so much bigger than their actual size. As far as ive seen, this watch is sad news for people with smaller wrist sizes

[@ClickSpringReview]

Yes you are right they do look bigger Don

[@acethis]

The Super Titanium is coated with a hardened layer that is about 5 times harder than typical steel. This will help to keep the watch pristine for a longer period, with minimal swirls / scratches from your daily wear. 💪

[@ClickSpringReview]

I would be interested to know its true Vickers Hardness rating, 5x sounds to hard to me, that means a normal screwdriver could not scratch it in anyway (1200Hv) normal Titanium is around 350/400Hv

[@acethis]

@ClickSpringReview you can go Google how Citizen treats the titanium surface with this hardness coating, thus they gave it a cringe worthy name - Super Titanium 😅

[@ClickSpringReview]

Some steel is only 170hv thats why I ask the figure, Seiko case harding is about 550hv and Sinn's starts at 1200 and black models up to 1800hv. It's a seem they don't give the figure out. Your right they could of come up with a better name :)

[@Pitsenberg]

I scratched mine (different model) with a wall, so it's not that hard to scratch. Love my titanium citizen anyway.

[@sp10290]

I also like the white one. How is the legibility in person?

[@ClickSpringReview]

Super legible for me its the pick of the crop

[@legionofdoom9165]

I have the blue dial version in the mail

[@ClickSpringReview]

Lucky guy enjoy, I'm sure your going to 👍🏻

[@legionofdoom9165]

@@ClickSpringReview just got it in the mail and yeah this is amazing for the price

[@ClickSpringReview]

Nice 👍🏻

[@drasiritzbir]

Slight correction: You absolutly see no titanium piece rust, ever ;-)

[@ClickSpringReview]

Spot on

[@Pitsenberg]

I don't like that small second hand though

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thats a shame I don't mind it myself

[@mariopablo4703]

Is this ok for an 8inch wrist?

[@ClickSpringReview]

Yes I'd say so Sir

[@dado380]

First. It’s Forza(for:ca) not Fozara. Second.Citizen had this very similar model way before Tissot or other Swiss brands,you had Cosmotron models which were not cheap and some models in this same case but with Bulova accutron tuning fork calibers in 69’ and 70’s.

[@ClickSpringReview]

But of of interest what do you think of the watch itself ??

[@jacobt1027]

If only it wasn't an integrated bracelet. Stupid trend

[@ClickSpringReview]

I don't mind myself it gives them a 70s look

[@iXus78]

It just comes down to a matter of taste... 😊
