Best, most underrated Citizen Watch every made

[@VincentW2]

Just ordered one with a green dial. Can`t wait.

[@microwavegommmm916]

Think I'm away to pull the trigger on this one soon. Do you still like it?

[@okeanos0636]

@@microwavegommmm916 - I own the one with a green dial. It is superb! You’ll love it.

[@thomaslinton5765]

Got the green-faced one - CB5921-59X. Hands hit perfectly. 🤩

[@fifoufilou7170]

Hi, this is my current watch and it is really superb. Radio controled, eco drive, waterproof 200m, and excellent readability. Its defects are the access to the timers and the alarm, and the weight, it would have deserved a titanium version. I love this watch so much is touch perfection. With a diameter of 42mm it seems larger, its luminescence is excellent.

[@diegocanale1124]

Great watch! I love the promasters, especially their robust crown!Only minor gripe seconds hand does not glow in the dark, nor a luminous dot can be seen.

[@Gregory721]

After gently wearing this watch (for example, never going swimming or even showering with it) for about a year and a half, I had to send it back to Citizen for servicing. Multiple functions were malfunctioning. I could not set the time accurately. And the crown wasn't closing properly. Although it came with a five-year warranty and I registered it at Citizen for an additional year, I had to pay almost $70 for the service, mainly to replace the crown and stem, a service not covered by the warranty. Also, I had to wait more than two months for the repair because needed parts were on back-order. When the watch finally arrived, I could still not set it to the right time and had to send it back for further inspection. I'm still waiting. The watch is very attractive. It looks (but seems not really to be) rugged. But I've come to believe that the "atomic" feature is mostly a gimmick. The watch itself has no atomic movement. That would probably be impossible. It has a regular quartz movement and a receiver that should (under the right geographical and meteorological conditions) automatically capture a radio signal from one of the U.S.-operated atomic clocks, allowing the watch to self-correct daily when necessary. If you need the absolutely precise time of day--perhaps you're a nuclear physicist----you could just go to www.time.gov, operated by the NIST. Sorry for spending too much time and space on this issue. Just frustrated. P.S.: Got the watch back (almost four months after initially sending it in). Time was wrong, but I accidentally found the right spot in my home to place the watch overnight. It successfully received the atomic clock signal and self-corrected. All's well that ends well, but be careful when you pull out the crown and stem. Apparently, they are delicate parts, easily bent.

[@e28forever30]

It is not a traditional quartz movement. Hands are motorised, to make automatic adjustment possible. Radio control works fine on this watch. I must admit that these do fail, I’ve had one that had failing hands, not showing the exact time anymore. Not a really rugged movement.

[@JimmyShot]

Was waiting for someone to review this watch, thank you

[@doohantallywhack8267]

Thank you I have been waiting for this. Great review.

[@schbrachbolidsei]

The former calibre AS4030-59E which I got is Titanium made and weights much less. It works fine since 8 years!

[@timelesssneakersandwatches]

This looks great! Awesome job 👌

[@TwitchRadio]

Looking at the model - CB5921-59X.... Thinking of getting this as part of my 6 watch rotation / edc... I really appreciate the radio control, and my favorite color (green)... even though the one year reviewing is not the exact same one I'm looking at I'm assuming it's pretty much the same... Anyways, thanks for the video and your time 😎✌️

[@justinrenault9354]

My citizen Skyhawks blue angels has the same misalignment to the right on some indices, perfect on others

[@mariuszsch.79]

Can you keep it in chronograph mode constantly? I need a one touch access to the chronograph all the time.

[@akathenonrelevant]

NO NO NO NO NO. I didn't need another Citizen...or maybe I do 🤔🤔🤔

[@joeaverage3444]

Personally, I value the great accuracy of quartz movements over mechanical movements. Better to have the second hand off by a degree or two than a mechanical watch being off by a few seconds every single day. Also, mechanical movements can be almost as misaligned, you just don't really see it because the second hand's sweeping motion masks any misalignment.

[@111111111Tiger]

I would buy it if it was in Ti. Love Citizen watches. CB5921-59X Green version

[@richardshaw1968]

You can check the alignment of all the hands including the second hand and adjust, worth a punt… but I don’t know how fine the adjustment is though.

[@e28forever30]

Indeed, you can adjust them. My AS4041 ( basically the same watch, but the older model) is just a smidgen off , barely noticeable, and I cannot correct it, the adjustment is in rather big steps.

[@mikec912]

That is sharp! Thanks!

[@521photography]

Why can’t I find this exact watch anywhere?

[@prescottlange]

You mentioned the case being 45mm, would that be exclusive of the crown? Thanks

[@wilsoninthewild]

I’m depressed that there isn’t a blue dial version. I’ll probably still buy it but… damn.

[@ale142v]

why are descontinue?

[@mortimerwatt1766]

It might look a bit off but that could be the glass distortion - try looking at it from a different angle

[@treykeene6449]

Man I love this watch, but mine is always about 15 min behind and I cannot seem to figure out how to reset the radio control...

[@MD-md4th]

I have the earlier AS4041-O1L with blue dial. I love it! Both the case and the dial. Unfortunately it does not radio-sync in the US. In fact, I got it from a watch seller in Italy and he did not want to sell it to me because it would not function completely. But I assured him no problem since I love the look. Mine has a nicer, engraved case-back than this one. Came with a blue canvas strap, replaced with a black carbon-fibre style with blue stitching. I would like to see this new version in blue and I would get one for the total functionality. Might get the black anyway! I like the power reserve on the new one - my version does not have it. The lume is great, both color and brightness, but Citizen applied indices are brighter than painted. The hands on mine are noticeably brighter than the indices. Overall, based on my AS4041 I would recommend this newer version without hesitation. They are rock-solid! And yes, be prepared to consult the manual - haha! Setting it is not simple. Of course, it’s a perpetual calendar so won’t need much attention. One note, this radio-controlled Citizens use up charge more quickly than standard Eco-drives, so make it gets some direct sun on a fairly regular basis.

[@sledgehammerlion]

Why don’t they have a blue dial for this model?! 😭

[@e28forever30]

That’s great. I just picked up an AS4041, with a nice blue dial. It is basically the same watch, but the predecessor, on a canvas/leather strap with a deployment clasp. I need the bracelet, as I am more a bracelet kind of guy..😋 My caseback is rather nicely engraved, it’s a shame they dropped that. It is a great GADA watch, very readable and should last a long time.

[@ultimaetsolder]

Beautiful watch

[@kiwicory100]

Kick that stove LOL thanks for the video.

[@johnlotwick86]

Are the numbers on the dial white or off white? Looks like it my have some slight "fauxtina". Thanks in advance!

[@thomaslinton5765]

This calibre (E660) supposedly has Automatic Hand Position Correction as part of Perfex Multi 3000. Should be spot on - corrected every minute. ????

[@doohantallywhack8267]

Did citizen fix or replace the watch with one that the second hand lines up?

[@doohantallywhack8267]

Sir great review as always. Do you know the bracelet size? 20 or 22 mm. I was wondering for aftermarket strap options if you wanted to.

[@thomaslinton5765]

Pin and tube?

[@17cmmittlererminenwerfer81]

I've been hoping for a review of this watch - many thanks for posting it and for pointing out the seconds hand alignment issue, the lack of a printed manual, and the plain-Jane caseback. Sadly, Citizen is starting to cut corners and it's showing.

[@e28forever30]

True. I recently picked up a brand new (old stock) AS4041, basically the same watch, but it is the predecessor. It has the same case and dial, except it has a full “3” without a cutoff. There is no power reserve meter on mine, and no indicator for the world time hours . But it has a rich blue dial, and a gorgeous caseback, with a deeply engraved globe and around it the lettering “Citizen Promaster EcoDrive”. This caseback is rather dull in comparison.

[@andyburns6496]

Is the 45mm diameter including, or not including the crown? Citizen have it down as 42mm.

[@mariuszsch.79]

Without the crown I measured my one around 41mm actually. It is not as big as the specs make you think, but the lug to lug is long. 50mm. Still, they curve down so it looks good even on smaller wrists.

[@thomaslinton5765]

Model number of the watch appears only on the hang tag now. So you know the "calibre" and case number, but no way to discover most of the features, like sapphire crystal.

[@66racer]

Split on this or the JDM Promaster Land titanium. I think if this was Titanium it would be an easier buy.

[@rushi83]

Can this watch show accurate time in India? I do not see any Indian city listed on the dial. Nearest are Karachi (KHI) at GMT +5 and Dhaka (BST) at GMT +6. Indian Standard Time is GMT +5.5 Does that mean this watch is useless in India?

[@maverickwatchreviews]

I'm afraid so. India, Africa, South America, Russia & Austraila are too far away to receive the signal. Here's a great Citizen site that explains it all: www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/technology-atomic-timekeeping.html

[@rushi83]

@@maverickwatchreviews Thank you. I appreciate the feedback 🙏🏽

[@danmaudsley3778]

@rushi83 You can use an app on your phone to generate the radio signal and keep the watch accurate in any time zone.

[@Wuchtamsel]

The second hand alignment of radio controlled Citizen watches was PERFECT 10 years ago. This here is inacceptable.

[@doohantallywhack8267]

I am seriously considering purchasing this watch and wondered if Citizen fixed the second hand indices lining up issue? I don't want to order one if they didn't take care of it. Any help or follow up information?

[@anhbausa6111]

I just got one and the second hand is working perfect.

[@1969EType]

Also, see above...the hands can be zeroed by the user. Very simple process. #RTFM

[@Patriot4Life1776]

Great video 👍 would love to see you review a Jack Turner or a Hamilton They have some nice pieces and the prices are just right

[@BuffaloDark]

Jolie montre, mais pour 500€ elle aurait dû être manufacturer au Japon pour la rendre plus noble, dommage ! ...citizen devrait prendre exemple sur les Suisses et travailler leur image de marque 🤔

[@maverickwatchreviews]

La montre n'a pas besoin d'être fabriquée au Japon pour être une montre de qualité... mdr. Et l’image de marque de Citizen est excellente. Désolé, ce modèle particulier est si cher en Europe :(

[@thomaslinton5765]

Replace the SS bracelet with a strap.. THAT should get you 2- grams.

[@hughming]

Such a shame that it is so big.

[@tcwhite0104]

hand not lining up with the indices just ticks me off. Luminox is awful at it even the >$1,000.00 ones. I have several Citizens and they are spot on...could be the one you have. At any price point they should line up. period. I have cheap Timex that lines up fine.

[@mihirjariwala9902]

Get the stove out of the way…… that’s what you should say now onwards

[@thomaslinton5765]

Three micro-adjustment holes ! What's with watches with no half links and no micro-adjustment holes? Dumb!

[@NathanChisholm041]

Dont use a bandaid they slow the healing process! What it needs is fresh air and kept clean...

[@thomaslinton5765]

For over twenty years the drill is: Clean; coat with WPJ' (moist, clean wound heals faster), cover with dressing to keep clean and protect film of WPJ.

newer band aids are breathable and allow airflow.
