This citizen tsuyosa is just incredible 😍! At first I wanted to buy a Tissot PRX quartz because I liked its design. I went to a jewelry store and tried it on but I found it too big for my wrist. I waited and citizen released the tsuyosa shortly after. I went to try it on and I fell in love with it. Once I had the money I bought it on the ocarat website for around €260 I think. This watch is my first really beautiful automatic watch. It is also the one I wear the most and the one I enjoy wearing the most. It can be worn in all situations, whether with a shirt for a chic evening or with a t-shirt for sports. 

Its jubilee-style bracelets are very comfortable and very beautiful. The polishing and chamfers of the case are of very good quality. It has a sapphire crystal with a cyclops. It has the stop second and is equipped with a miyota 8210 movement that can be seen from the glass case back. It has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. It is not very precise but you can always have it adjusted if it bothers you.

All in all, I am very happy with my purchase and I recommend this watch to any enthusiast or beginner. Due to its very good value for money, I think that this watch can suit both beginners in watchmaking and seasoned collectors. Do not hesitate to buy it, you will not be disappointed! ⌚⌚⌚


The best watch for less than 300€

Citizen was founded in 1918 in Japan by Kamekichi Yakamazi of the Shokosha Watch Research Institute in Tokyo. Now one of the world's largest watch companies, recognized for its innovative watches and cutting-edge technology. The history of Citizen begins with the launch of its first pocket watch in 1924, called the "CITIZEN".
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Citizen brand</h2>
This watch was equipped with a high-quality mechanical movement and was highly valued for its precision and reliability. It quickly gained popularity, establishing the foundation of Citizen's reputation in watchmaking.
Over the following years, Citizen continued to innovate and push the boundaries of watchmaking technology. In 1956, the company introduced the world's first pocket wristwatch, which revolutionized the way watches were worn. This innovation paved the way for a new era of more practical and functional watches. In the 1960s, Citizen released several revolutionary watches, including the Citizen Parawater, Japan's first waterproof watch, and the Citizen Cosmotron, the country's first solar-powered electronic watch. These technological advances have solidified Citizen's position as a pioneer in the watch industry.
Citizen has also played a key role in the quartz watch industry. In 1973, the company introduced the Citizen Crystron Solar Cell, the first quartz watch powered by solar energy. This innovation paved the way for a new generation of more precise and durable quartz watches with the 1976 launch of the technology<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/citizen/eco-drive"> Citizen Eco-Drive</a>.
Over the decades, Citizen has continued to introduce new features and technologies into its watches. In 1993, the company launched the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/citizen/promaster_aqualand"> Citizen Promaster Aqualand</a>, a diver's watch that has pushed the boundaries of underwater performance. It was equipped with features such as measuring depth and diving time, which allowed divers to explore the seabed safely.
In the 2000s, Citizen began developing ecological watches. In 2008, the company introduced the Citizen Eco-Drive Satellite Wave, the first solar-powered watch capable of receiving satellite signals for optimal accuracy around the world. This revolutionary technology eliminated the need to change batteries, providing a more durable and convenient solution for watch enthusiasts. Over the past few years, Citizen has maintained its leading position in the watch industry. The company continues to innovate in design, technology and sustainability, while maintaining its commitment to quality and precision.
Today, Citizen is a globally recognized brand, offering a wide range of watches to suit all tastes and needs. Whether for lovers of classic watches, diving watches, connected watches or sports watches, Citizen offers varied options meeting the expectations of consumers around the world.

(Updated December 2023)

I present to you my Citizen Ice Blue NJ0151-88M that I love, it's my only watch that is not a diver or a chronograph... the model that I present was for a long time only available on the Japanese market but now it is on sale in France, it is an automatic model of 40mm in diameter and 5 ATM... it has a superb color that varies in the light and a pretty integrated bracelet of 3 branches, in short a watch that I like and I find that the Japanese manufacturer Citizen is not recognized in France at its true value while in the USA this manufacturer of the rising sun is a hit... Citizen has iconic models like the Aqualand JP2000 (the big blue 1988) the promaster NY0040 and the Chalenge Diver Futjisubo titanium which has an incredible history hence the name (Bernacle in French) that I also have it is the rival of the SPB143 62 MAS from Seiko and this Tsuyosa Ice Blue (strength) in Japanese is a real hit…

My Citizen integrated bracelet in an incredible blue…

She made so much noise! 
A pebble in the pond, this citizen will have left its mark, I will not introduce it to you because we know it now, it is finally available so we should not deprive ourselves of it, it is magnificent in real life better than in the photo, to be consumed without moderation, it is well made and the words criticized the clasp, it is done I have kept it up 😉. Anything is possible.

Citizen Tsuyosa

Citizen is making a strong comeback this year in the watchmaking world, this tsuyosa also means STRENGTH in Japanese! This watch is available in several colors: blue, green, black and yellow for France. Other variations are planned for the future. Today I present to you the yellow model, a model that sold very well to the point that I had to put myself on a waiting list and after 4 months I was finally able to receive it! The watch is well built with a diameter of 40mm and a thickness of 11.7mm, the crown is at 4 o'clock, the glass is sapphire, very good for this price range. The movement comes from Myota, a house owned by Citizen, it is the caliber 8210, 21 jewels with a power reserve of 40 hours, it is given for +- 20 seconds per day. The movement echoes the dial, it is gilded with its Citizen Japan engraved balance wheel, it is visible, which is a plus for me but it also has a disadvantage for the waterproofness and as the crown is not screwed the watch is given for 5 atm too bad! the yellow dial is a mixture of matte and sunray because it appears matte at first glance but in strong light it becomes a little sunray. The stick-type indexes have a luminescent layer that shines only by its name! indeed it is very very light! The glass has a cyclops for a "magnifying glass effect" of the date, some will like it or not. the integrated "president" type bracelet brushed at the ends and polished in the center adds a chic side to this watch. Now let's talk about the price, for less than 300e Citizen offers you a refreshing watch with these different colors, pretty, summery, well finished and automatic with a sapphire crystal! Any flaws? yes of course: A water resistance of 5 ATM while the Tissot prx is at 10 ATM, a crown at 4 o'clock which is just a disaster for setting the time for someone with "man's" fingers and no nails! I also noticed for setting the date a problem with the caliber 8210, in fact no stop second and forced to make a whole revolution of the hands for the date because if I try to go back, the second hand does not like it at all and starts to go back what am I saying to jump 5 seconds back! I did not insist suddenly. The "lume" is also ridiculous compared to a diver! apart from these few small inconveniences it is a watch that I recommend and which will give a lot of pleasure to its owner.

Citizen Tsuyosa, a summer watch?

This is my 33rd birthday watch, a rather biased gift. The watch is as pleasant to wear as it is to look at. The finishes are really very beautiful and what can I say about this yellow dial. The indexes, hands, dates, bracelet, everything is perfectly proportioned. The transparent back reveals the movement. The only downside is probably the clasp, a little tinny but effective.

Citizen Tsuyosa Jaune

I already have a Tsuyosa, which has a yellow dial. As a gold lover, I opted for this model which is reminiscent of the Daytona Jhon Mayer. 
This piece is magnificent, it is part of my collection and it sits proudly next to the Zenith, Rolex or Omega. 
This green sunray dial is just magnificent and I am in heaven when I wear it. 
The advantage with this model is that it is not widespread and therefore we never come across one which makes it an almost unique model. 
Tsuyosa my love

Gold is best of Tsuyosa

The Tsuyosa, a watch already spotted when it came out but it was the ice blue version that made up my mind. Ordered from an AD (Parrenin Joaillier) in St Germain. The beauty arrived at the end of July, just in time to go on holiday with it. It is a very pleasant watch to wear and to look at thanks to its superb sunburst dial. Compared to my Tissot PRX it seems subjectively smaller to me because of its more rounded shape. The only real flaw concerns the water resistance limited to 5 ATM. So you have to have another watch for swimming.

Citizen T

When Citizen releases this watch they are not at their best, the Tsuyosa comes to revive a market. The Tsuyosa is a marvel accessible to many and totally in the current trend. 
Unobtainable at launch with waiting times of 1 year for certain colors. 
I decided to take the model with Yellow dial which is a nugget, with its automatic movement it is already an iconic piece. 
I can only recommend it to a first-time buyer. 
It has everything going for it

The Queen of Tsuyosa

Tsuyosa with a yellow dial. 
Very comfortable, ideal for summer with its pep's yellow dial. 
President bracelet, nothing to complain about, good quality 
Flat: not great cyclops and average date readability. And transparent case back for a mechanism that is not particularly beautiful. I would have preferred an engraved case back.

Summer

What can I say, this is not my first Citizen, I have eco drives as well as an auto diver, but this one, with its original and endearing side, goes straight into the top 3 of my collection. Beautiful, comfortable to wear, I can't take it off anymore, if I had to find only one flaw it would be not being able to change this integrated bracelet, my favorite activity :). Its color changes depending on the light and goes from a very light blue to a blue reminiscent of this famous New York jeweler.

The new blue Tsuyosa for Europe is necessarily a little new

I just received it and I am amazed by the quality-price ratio that I had been told was excellent.
I love the bracelet. The dial in a magnificent orange is very readable with large indexes and the dial is noticeably larger than on my PRX of the same size and it is very pleasant. The hidden crown is my 1z time and I love it, what comfort.
Very comfortable, I am absolutely amazed.

At the top

An ideal watch for summer or to bring some sun in the middle of winter. The yellow dial is bright no matter the lighting. The integrated bracelet fits well with the case. The finishes could be a bit better, but for mass-produced watches it's okay. The crown is not easy to operate and I would have liked a version without a date or at least without a cyclops.

Simple and effective in short citizen

My choice turned to this tsuyosa blue dial "tiffany", because I find that it is a good alternative to the prx of tissot. apart from the bracelet that prefers on the prx the rest of the watch does not have much to envy it. At the top for the summer in casual mode, but finally goes very well every day with any outfit.

Watch goes everywhere

We've seen it over and over again for a year, maybe a little too much. But I fell under its spell the first time I saw it in real life. It's impossible to take photos that fully honor its magnificent yellow dial. It's fun, light and comfortable. Its Miyota 8000 series movement is robust and precise. For less than €250, I don't see what better purchase I could have made to give myself a nice Christmas present. I love it!

Ma funky watch ! 

I had spotted this watch when it was released on the Japanese market and then I had abandoned the idea because of the potential customs duties. But as soon as it was released on the European market I did not hesitate given the price. You really get your money's worth. Here we have a watch that is a bit different from the traditional Seiko (just as recommendable however). The dial makes the whole watch for me. I may regret the slightly large diameter and suddenly the dial looks a bit empty but it remains one of the watches that I wear regularly.

The perfect watch to start with

Following the fairly recent discovery of this watch on a fellow Bordeaux YouTuber called dialicious 😉I was pleasantly surprised by this watch at an unbeatable quality/price ratio
Tiffany blue color in tune with the times with a beautiful sun, plus a date also well integrated
Bracelet of good quality also with a micro adjustment easy to access with a tool however
A downside is the power reserve not always homogeneous sometimes far from the 40 hours initially announced

Citizen integrated bracelet unbeatable value for money
