Citizen Tsuyosa Small Seconds vs Bulova Watch: Super Seville Reissue
We take a deep dive into the recently released 2024 Bulova Super Seville Reissue, featuring the innovative Precisionist movement known for its exceptional accuracy (seconds per year!) and smooth sweeping second hand. We compare it to the popular Citizen Tsuyosa Small Seconds, a classic automatic with a modern twist.
While both offer automatic movements at attractive prices, they cater to different styles. The Bulova boasts high-tech precision with a vintage-inspired design, while the Citizen Tsuyosa delivers a more traditional automatic experience with a bold aesthetic.
I break down their designs, features, specifications, and overall value to help you decide: is the high-accuracy Bulova Super Seville Reissue your perfect timepiece, or does the Citizen Tsuyosa's automatic heart win you over?

I love how Bulova went all in for the 70's aesthetics, including the cyclops date. A clear winner for my dollars.

I love what Bulova is doing with that sweeping quartz, but I just can’t get over that Tsuyosa dial. Citizen wins imho.
@WatchReviewRewind 10 күн бұрын
I honestly can't decide 😵 I like the idea of have a robust quartz piece as a nice little grab n go, always set, sweeping hands. But you're 100% right about that dial, and the quality of the finishing really is way better on the Citizen Tsuyosa than the Bulova
@NICAsworld 8 күн бұрын
This Super Seville is a pretty cool watch, and it can be compared, as price point and style, to the popular auto PRX from Tissot. Bulova is owned by Citizen as well. So it's a win for Citizen regardless of the choice. Citizen is awesome and has great watches at any price point, they even own brands like Arnold and Son, a high horology brand. Not to mention that they provide movements and parts to a big part of the watch industry. But cannot compare the Spring Drive with a high frequency quartz movement. Spring Drive is a mechanical movement with a quartz oscilator, but no battery needed. This is a quartz movement operated by a battery. The quartz movement of GS is accurate to 10 seconds a year as well, just doesn't have a smooth sweep of the seconds hand. It's easier to be accurate with a quartz movement, as essentially it just translates the energy from the battery, when a mechanical movement has more elements through which it translates and controls the energy.

I think Bulova is making some great moves here . Look at the surveyor series it hits the marks as does this watch . I do not have a TV style watch currently so methinks I will add one real soon . I do think Bulova needs to fine tune the dial choices but I thinks it coming real soon . Great Video

@johnvandeven2188 10 күн бұрын
No question, the Bulova wins hands down. Ahh.....that sweeping hand just does it for me. The shape, dial colour and bracelet integration is a near exact match to my 1978 Seiko quartz given to me for my 21st. Yes it is old like me and it still runs as it should. BTW Bulova is owned by Citizen as well as Arnold & Son, Frederique Constant, Alpina, Campanola and La Joux Perret.

Been looking forward to this video! I mentioned this before but since Citizen owns Bulova, I really hope they can make the best of of both worlds. A Citizen dial with the precisionist movement would be a dream come true! If they can somehow make solar power from their Eco-drive line sufficient enough to power a continuous sweep, they've got a winner on their hands I feel!
@WatchReviewRewind 10 күн бұрын
oh yeah absolutely! I'd buy that in a heartbeat. They have sort of something similar with their Super Titanium Line. I think that's citizen's response to Grand Seiko. +/- 5 Secs Per Year, Eco Drive, and the Dials are gorgeous. AND Titanium. But no sweeping hand. They're pricey too like 4k+. For that money you might as well buy a Grand Seiko

Poseo este Citizen Tsuyosa hace unos meses del mismo color, y he de decir que en persona aún impacta más esa esfera que según le de la luz, brilla o se oscurece, su pulsera también me encanta y algo ha variado de la versión anterior, la anchura de los eslabones ventrales y el cierre que ahora es mejor, 60 horas de marcha y en mi caso tan solo 5sg / día de variación. Respecto a este Bulova me gusta la pieza, muy de los sesenta y se ve muy atractivo, pero a mi juicio juegan en ligas diferentes, lo que aquí te ofrece Citizen no te lo ofrece absolutamente nadie a ese precio, cuando Bulova lo que te ofrece a grandes rasgos es un Meca Quartz, muy exacto pero tendrás que cambiarle la pila cada 2/3 años. Poseo el Bulova Lunar Pilot de 45” y me encanta, pero si fuera mecánico sé que me gustaría aún más. Esto es a gustos claro, Bulova y más Citizen te dan mucho por tu dinero, pertenecen a la misma división empresarial pero buscan nichos diferentes. Saludos!

Thank you for this thoughtful and informative comparison. The dial on the citizen is straight up fire! Perhaps the best I've seen on any affordable integrated bracelet watch. The Bulova definitely has its merits, but the fluted bezel looks tacky to me. Like a cheap drug store watch that's trying too hard.
