The Grand Seiko Of Citizen: NJ-0180-80X

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Guys! Before you write a comment stating it’s not close to Gran Seiko, watch the video where I literally say it’s not close to Gran Seiko. It was done “tongue in cheek.” I find it so funny how people get so triggered by a thumbnail without actually watching the full video.

[@max.loves.watches]

The outrage is funny because literally every watch KZbinr does this. I don't even give it a second thought - just whether I'm interested in the watch. Do people really still not understand how KZbin works at this point? Lol...

This watch is an entry level watch, and for a lot of people buying it it may be their only mechanical/automatic watch. The attraction of a mechanical watch is that you can see and understand how it works, which requires a glass caseback. It may not make much sense for a watch collector who has half a dozen watches with movements sporting Côtes de Genève, Œil de Perdrix etc., but it improves the experience for the regular person buying a nice watch.

[@sergeyusik9934]

I'd love to add that Citizen is probably the only brand under $1000 that produces quartz watches (and also supplies movements to other brands) known for their precise second hand alignment, hitting the marker every single time! I can't put into words how cool that is, especially when you see quartz watches from other brands with their second hands all over the place, missing the markers.

[@keysncoffee7733]

I never could understand how companies would miss the mark on that. It’s a fixed alignment and you’ve just gotta align it 😩

[@williamstone8470]

One point you missed is that the proprietary coating of the titanium in this watch largely precludes the bad scratching which titanium otherwise tends to attract.

[@SteveLum]

So, yes for the money it appears to be a great value. It’s quite a stretch though to say it compares to any Grand Seiko. The movement of course also cannot compare however looks like a great beater or go everywhere (almost) do everything watch.

[@Explorer40mm]

True, but grand Seiko finishing is like a good haircut, give it two weeks of regular wear and it’s a skating rink of micro scratches.

[@mixmastamd]

The press clasp helps keep the price down and no one sees it when it’s closed so it’s good they cut the right corners

[@keegsalex6285]

I don’t regret a thing. I bought this watch with the blue dial and I own the tissot prx quartz green dial version. There is definitely a difference but I love owning both.

[@ChrisMetz-c1e]

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.

Thanks Ben! really appreciate it. The watch has become my favorite watch for sure. And the light weight of the titanium. Spot on

[@cagataycakmak2280]

The claim that titanium is easier to scratch than steel but harder to ding is not entirely accurate. Titanium forms a thin oxide layer that can develop a mild patina over time. This layer can heal minor scratches, making them less noticeable as the layer of oxide renews itself, which is why scratches on titanium often appear to resolve over time. So even though it appears titanium scratches more easily than steel, this is because some of those scratches are on the oxide layer and not on the metal itself.

[@rw6836]

It's GS-esque in some ways (e.g. textured dial), but when you pay more for GS, you get more (e.g. decorated movement, better finished hands and indices, MEMS parts, longer power reserve). Saying it's a GS killer is exaggerated.

[@CG-Bloxfruit]

Citizen could use a 9000 series if they bother to finish the watch that nice, also a better clasps. I have a seiko astron in titanium ,and it scratches so easily. The problem with hard coating on watches is that the watch can't be repolished/brushed,unless you rub of all the coating.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

Facts..

[@tdrawley]

Very difficult to create a milled clasp in titanium. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a titanium bracelet that has a milled clasp even on much more expensive watches, unless it’s a steel clasp which just looks … weird. I changed out a milled Ti clasp for a steel one and while the fit was fine, the finish wasn’t. It clashed horribly.

It’s hard because one of them is a titanium San Martin Pelagos homage and it has a milled clasp with microadjust and bracelet has screw pins. It’s such a nice light watch as well and looks fantastic. But the Citizen is a more unique original design and I’ve been considering an integrated bracelet like Christopher Ward’s, the PRX during a quick store visit just didn’t connect with me. This beautiful dial and the dimensions seem like a good trade-off to getting further away from a watch box full of Chinese homages.

What is bad about the clasp? And what would have been better? New to watches.

[@allthingsrandom8137]

There’s nothing really that wrong about the pressed clasp. It is very comfortable, and it does offer some micro adjustments. I’ve handled over 400 watches on this channel and there’s a difference between a pressed clasp and a milled clasp. So for example, the press class is a thinner piece of steel that is pressed into a shape where as a milled clasp is a solid chunk of metal that is then milled into the class so it’s just stronger. Because I’ve seen other Watch brands do the milled clasp at under 300 bucks, companies like citizen should also do the same thing. That being said, there’s nothing really wrong with it. It’s just a cheaper way of making a clasp. This watch has been my go to favorite watch for the last month now

[@davidblueify]

I don’t know where you got $400. This watch retails at $625, the eco drive is like $500. I just ordered this exact watch from Citizen, it’s currently on sale for $500.

Titanium does scratch easier. But Citizen actually uses Titanium with a clear coating of an anti scratch material. Hence the name Super Titanium. There is a reason for the name.

[@Chrissepisje]

Leaving aside that Grand Seiko plays in a different league, I will even say that "The Citizen" and Citizen Chronomaster watches play in a different league. That much is obvious. But you are right. What Citizen produces here, for a couple hundred dollars, has no business being this good. The dials are fantastic. To be honest though, I would always take the 39,5mm eco drive version with a central seconds hand over these 40,5mm watches with a mechanical movement. Because smaller is better, especially with integrated bracelet watches. CItizen is on a roll though. The NB1050 is stellar (although I find the hands too short and fragile looking), the Tsuyosa is stellar, and this series is also cool. Then again, for 500 bucks, a Casio Oceanus 100 and 200 have no business being as good as they are either, so Citizen is not alone with stellar offerings in this price bracket. They don't fundamentally add anything to owning a The Citizen AQ4100 Ibuki, and I have a mild distaste for integrated bracelet watches, so I won't buy one, but I respect what they've done here. If you want another Citizen that plays in the "baby GS / baby Chronomaster" league, check out the NB1060 series with the lacquered dials. They are fantastic too.

If Citizen is killing anyone, it's Seiko. Citizen has been releasing so many compelling watches in the past few years at affordable prices that someone at Seiko should be nervous. Seiko has been putting out some good watches lately, but not enough of them. I have simply not been impressed by Seiko in the last few years. I'm actually looking forward to what other dial colors Citizen will put out on this product line. If they will be anything like what we have seen with the Tsuyosas, then this model line is going to be killer!

[@brianmsahin]

At last, I've had time to watch the video. It's a very nice watch and the dial is excellent. I like the placement of the subdial. As for titanium, I do scuba dive and use a dive watch as a backup and a titanium Seiko I had with hardened diashield coating, it got scratched so badly on the first dive amongst coral. Titanium scratches look awful. I'd love it in stainless steel. The movement is not the prettiest but looks a lot better than the NH movements Seiko insist on showing us! I don't mind the pressed clasp but an integrated titanium bracelet is a bad idea. You can't swap it out easily when it inevitably looks like a piece of old scratched up scrap metal within a year. I'm not an integrated bracelet fan anyway, I like to swap straps around. If this was stainless steel with a standard lug design I'd go for it. I do have the Grand Seiko by the way, the Shosho SBGJ249 GMT that I sold a few watches to get it and now my most expensive by far. Can the Citizen dial be confused with the hand crafted GS dial housed inside the hand made Zaratsu polished case? I don't think so. There is a trend towards these dial types, I was reading that it's a fairly new pressed molding technique developed in China and you can now see these on some higher quality Chinese watches too. They are certainly very good looking and replicate GS dials to some extent. This Citizen is definitely worth the money, though you'd have to treat it with gentleness to keep it presentable. Then again, I have to treat my GS the same way to keep that polishing perfect!
