I’m pleasantly impressed!

I have been surprised and happy with my Tsuyosa Small Seconds. The color is striking, and it works well in both ideal and low lighting conditions. The way the shadows work around the edge of the watch makes it feel like it had a blue to black gradient in lower light, which makes it feel very unique. The dial texture is the best I’ve seen in this price category and goes very well with the blue color. It has been getting about +6-7 seconds a day, which is pretty good for a mechanical watch in this price range. It’s very comfortable and it wears thinner than it is. The links are easy to take out. The lume isn’t as bright as some others, but this isn’t a dive watch and you don’t want to wear it diving. Microadjustments would have been nice, but as it is it comes with two half links. I personally need around a quarter link to come off, so I wear the watch a bit loose instead of tight. Even then it’s still comfortable and that doesn’t detract from how much I like the watch.

My mother had a citizen watch for all my life and I thought this would be a great way to remind me of her. I looked through the catalog for an hour or so until I came across the Tsuyosa. The blue color immediately caught my eye and it looked sleek. I haven't had am automatic watch before so this was my first nice watch and I couldn't be happier. Right out of the box the quality was superb. Many said they thought it looked better online but I was the opposite! The blue is not really a royal blue like I thought but almost the slightest hint of green to it and I love it. I was looking at every detail for at least 30 minutes. I love the clear back with the movement as well and the overall look with different textures all over the watch. I wore it to work the other day and recieved compliments all day. My only issue is the lumen being kind of dark if you are not out in the sun for a decent amount of time. Awesome watch by citzen!

Stunning watch

Tremendous value for what you are getting with this stunning watch. The pressed pattern in the dial sets this watch apart from any watch I have in this price range. The finishing on the case is incredible. It offers and open case back, so you can see the small details not usually offered for this price point. Cititzen didn't just thrown on a standard bracelet for this watch. The bracelet looks and feels high quality. It's clear that they cared about the end product. I have a numerous watches that I wear. This watch by far garners the most attention. I receive compliments every time I wear it. I have no idea how Citizen is able to make this watch at the price that they do, but I'm sure glad they do! Well done. Looking forward to seeing what's next in this segment.

Absolute winner! Buy this!

This is the watch that made me say "Citizen, what are you up to?!" I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with this watch! The looks are perfection, high quality design and sapphire crystal elements. A perfect bracelet, especially at this price point. A look that is right on point with trends in higher end watches, without looking like the bargain bin option. Overall, this, to me, is a wowzer of a watch. Casual enough for jeans, definitely a solid business/dress choice. I personally like this blue version the best. The grey with leather strap is an excellent dress/biz version. I also like how easy it is to buy additional straps/bracelets and the quick change built in. Stop reading this nonsense, if you got this far, buy it already - you'll like it. In pic I uploaded, it's on the left, next to my other Tsuyosa - suddenly have a collection!
