I have a couple Citizen watches, I'm a fan of the brand. Citizen has started making more mid-sized watches instead of only large sized ones, between this 37mm Tsuyosa and the 40mm Navihawk, which I prefer. I purchased this dark blue 37mm Tsuyosa but was a little disappointed. First off, I don't love the color. The blue on is just too dark - it looks black in most lights. The hue they used on the 40mm version is much prettier - they should have just stuck with that one for the 37mm as well (they could always subsequently release a black one if there was demand for a darker color). I'll also add that the Tsuyosa feels a little chunky. If it had 100M of water resistance, or was more sport-oriented, I could understand the thickness, but for 50M of WR and the combined dressy/sporty use case, it should really be made thinner. Alternatively, they could've made it a little more sporty - 100M of water resistance, more brushed instead of polished surfaces, a screw down crown. Finally, the bracelet could be better. The dial itself looks really great - it would be awesome as a regular watch instead of an integrated bracelet one. Overall, I like the size of this much more than the 40mm - I think it'll work better for more people - but as it is, I'm going to be returning it. Hopefully they improve on some of the pieces mentioned - if they do, I'd definitely re-purchase it, maybe in multiple colors.
The watch is a very solid choice for a basic “big boy” watch - something you can wear in dressier situations. Good looking, fits well if you don’t wear it for a day or two, it will stop winding. So then you have to manually update the time and date.
I really dig this watch! Everything about it from the see through caseback to the integrated bracelet and the tactile click it makes when you clasp it. Everything detail is amazing on this thing. It’s classy and sporty at the same time. The details matter and they shine through amazingly without being flashy! I like it as much as I like my Rolex and it’s significantly cheaper. Citizen knocked this one out of the park!
My son absolutely loves this watch! 5 stars!
