Welcome to Addicted to Watches, today we have a watch from the other big Japanese brand, Citizen. Increasingly of late Citizen have been on my radar as well as the radar of many other watch-obsessed individuals. They have been doing some very interesting things and seem to really have their finger on the pulse of what the market wants. This is one such watch. This is the Citizen Nb3020-16W.

The dial is gorgeous, but that date window is like: "Here, let me ruin this dial for you!" - Stomp - "There you go".

[@wontbefamous2342]

I feel like it would look quite a bit cleaner with a black date wheel to better match the dial

[@hakandilan]

Too big for most people. I don’t understand why companies insist on making dress watches more than 39mm

[@addicted_to_watches]

It could be a restriction because of the size of the movement itself within the case for this watch

[@addicted_to_watches]

I do prefer the way the Seiko sarw011 handled the date with a subdual pointer date

[@addicted_to_watches]

It would stand out a lot less than way

[@thursmornsunlight]

Citizen is literally like oh shit they like this? Let's give them more

[@addicted_to_watches]

If they want to release more silver leaf dials I'm all for it

[@entertainmentaccount2996]

I have many Citizen watches, and also several Grand Circus

[@nikkimiddlekillsday5161]

2:47 I 100% agree, I've bought several pre-owned watches from dealers in Japan and the condition is just spectacular and borderline new

[@addicted_to_watches]

They really under-promise and over-deliver when it comes to condition

[@justinlangley9522]

100% agreed . Bought a citizen chronomaster from "the closer" on chrono24. Watch was ranked as "fair" got the watch and it looked BRAND NEW!

[@jaydub9509]

Excellent review! I'm new to your channel, and enjoyed the content and straightforward delivery. As far as that watch goes, I'm very much in agreement, except that for me the points you raised regarding the Roman numerals, and differing hand sizes on the secondary dials, would probably preclude me from purchasing this model. I'd also prefer if the power indicator and the relatively useless 24 hour sub-dial were each a bit smaller and took up less real estate on the dial. Especially since the dial is the star attribute of the watch. I'm less concerned about the 21 mm L2L.

[@addicted_to_watches]

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

[@samnova450]

Watch looks great, fan of Citizen watches. Personally would like to see other colors in this type of dial. Not a fan of the sub-dial, but like the power reserve indicator. Wish the watch was at 60 hours of power reserve Vs 40. Also with you on Roman numerals, prefer Arabic numbers. Great review on watch.

[@addicted_to_watches]

Thanks for watching! Agreed, it would be great to see if Citizen can come out with some other colours and even complications. A small seconds like they did with the tsuyosa would be interesting

[@captainkesh]

Great video once more. I'd also like to thank you for your review on the sagz083. I bought it on Sakura recently and it's my most worn watch. It's just feather light and ticks all my design boxes. Thank you! I live in Sydney and would love to make an excuse to visit Japan to get myself a used GS at a decent price. What would be the best way to get a used GS from Aus?

[@addicted_to_watches]

Thank you so much! I'm glad I could help you with finding out about that one. The best way besides going there and looking in person would probably be to use my link in the description and get a 10% discount from buyee ;) Jokes aside, with the exchange rate as it is right now, the prices are pretty good from Japan. As I said in the video, check out mercari and Yahoo auctions as there are a lot of options

[@entertainmentaccount2996]

I have several citizen watches, including this one, and two grand seiko watches. The dial is great citizens watches provide great value. There really is no comparison whatsoever between a grand Seiko dial and this dial, not even close

[@JoaquinIsaiahNg]

I have the blue 3 hander version. I feel this one is too busy with the complications which takes away from the dial and makes it too thick for a dress watch. I love the more premium movement as well. Citizen gives good value for money though as similar seiko movement will be found in more expensive SJE series.

[@addicted_to_watches]

If they made this colour dial as a 3 hander I'd be all over it

[@CCRIDER-fz9qb]

Reminds me of the Seiko Prestige dial

[@addicted_to_watches]

Yep, definitely. I think Citizen were really going after the presage line with this model

[@designed84]

Man, that dial is awesome looking. Thanks for the review!

[@addicted_to_watches]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnmexico61]

Somehow Roman numerals cheapen up a watch. I think it’s because forever it felt like the trick that a cheap watch maker would use to try to make their watch look “fancy”.

[@addicted_to_watches]

100%

[@henryto0705]

Prefer the simpler version of this line, as they highlight the silver leaf dial pattern more and are less busy :)

[@addicted_to_watches]

I like those as well but the colour of this one in particular stood out to me. As nice as the blue 1060 is, there are a lot of other blue watches out there

[@henryto0705]

@@addicted_to_watches This watch does has a unique hue to it 😉 there're really a lot of interesting JDMs out there, I have my eyes on some Citizen Campanola as well - really interesting layout and designs

[@addicted_to_watches]

Nice. I've been keen on one of those as well but haven't found one for the right price. The night sky dials looks really good

[@henryto0705]

@@addicted_to_watches I think the BU0020 ones might be more affordable some how, saw some cheaper ones on Chrono24

[@khan1900]

Citizen is doing better than Seiko at the same price point. I will take this any day over a Presage.

[@addicted_to_watches]

I think Seiko got too comfortable and stopped trying so hard while also increasing their prices. This left room for Citizen to come in

[@martinmaison6421]

It was existing in the year of 2021

[@addicted_to_watches]

That still feels recent to me :')

[@watchessub777]

Is it gray dial ?

[@addicted_to_watches]

It changes between grey, blue and green depending on the light and angle

[@martinmaison6421]

The chapter ring is absolutely redundant

[@addicted_to_watches]

There aren't any minute markings on the dial so if you want to get an accurate read of the time it kind of is. If they printed a minute track on the dial itself I'd agree with you

[@user-sx4ke1pt8u]

Ситизен намного круче!

[@f.kieranfinney457]

Looks like etched concrete.

[@addicted_to_watches]

It does a bit! Throw in a couple of garage oil stains and you've got this dial

[@RickDeckardMemories]

’’but’’

[@ytfeelslikenorthkorea]

their website blocks me just because I'm on VPN, and there is no way in hell I will be sharing my shopping habits with my provider. So... no-go for me.

[@addicted_to_watches]

That's unfortunate but thanks for checking out my link anyway 👍

[@9426sunny]

Grand Seiko has signed(Logo) crown, Citizen has not.

[@addicted_to_watches]

Good thing I didn't go with my original video title "This crown is grand Seiko level" ;)

[@Zeppelin927]

Not even seiko level, let alone grand seiko

[@addicted_to_watches]

Maybe Casio level then :'/

[@leonardocozza3140]

way too big for a classic watch

[@addicted_to_watches]

I guess they want to also cater for the burly man with larger than average wrists too

[@billcore6295]

you mean to thick at 14 mm…. the case size of 40 mm is inline with the calatrava at 39mm which is the benchmark for a gentleman’s dress watch. the calatrava is just under 9 mm thick

[@billcore6295]

patek, Frederique Constant both have 21 mm lug widths. VC , Rolex, Omega usually use 20 mm… I own GS snowflake and love it

[@_RJ_Z]

This is a nope. Roman numerals, power reserve indicator. It is a absolute mess

[@addicted_to_watches]

A complete dog's breakfast

[@_RJ_Z]

@@addicted_to_watches but it has a great dial👌🏼

[@ヨーロッパ皇帝]

Video starts at 04:20 These youtubers wasted so much of our time with their nonstop yapping

[@addicted_to_watches]

Thanks for the feedback. I just like to provide some context but will take that into consideration going forward

[@MarkKaganas]

What’s with the hand gestures so gay

[@davidthom7127]

Dreadful
