Today we are looking at the exciting new release signed by Citizen, the Titanium NJ0180-80X is hands down the best integrated bracelet watch I've ever tried!
Hope you enjoy it, Andrei

Well done Citizen. They are doing a great job filling the 'value proposition' void that Seiko left behind.

@skirt_skirt Ай бұрын

New to watches, what do you mean exactly when you say " the 'value proposition' void that Seiko left behind."? Is Seiko not good value anymore? Edit: Context, when I watch videos about value watches, Seiko gets mentioned almost every single time.

Citizen has their spotlight since a long time ago. Great history, innovations, and achievements in horology, a lot of people just don't know about it. I've Citizen Attesa ATD53-2841 with the features like sapphire crystal (anti-reflection coating glass), antimagnetic, perpetual calendar, titanium, hard-coating band, eco-drive, radio controlled, duratect (scratch resistant), got it second-hand just for $50! Swiss-made just never on that level of insanity price worth comparing to some japanese watches.

Citizen has been hitting home runs in the last couple years! I'm really glad I didn't yet buy a Tsuyosa and discovered this watch. This is far better in just about every way. I'm very impressed with the build quality of this watch at this price point! It even has a sapphire! Citizen has had a reputation of putting mineral glass on most of their watches and I expected this to have glass as well but I'm glad Citizen surprised me on this aspect as well. I will definitely be picking one of these up! Too bad they are not available in the US right now. Like the Tsuyosas, Citizen may offer these watches in the US a few months after the initial release to other markets. Thanks for the review. It was helpful.
