Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Citizen Tsuyosa Small Second

The Citizen Tsuyosa Small Second is widely praised for its exceptional value and finishing for the price, featuring a textured dial that offers surprising depth and a retro feel. Owners appreciate its versatility as an everyday or business-casual watch, with some noting its symmetrical dial and subsidiary seconds as a unique aesthetic. However, the integrated bracelet's bulkiness at the lugs makes the 40mm case wear large, and the bracelet itself is described as merely adequate with some complaints about the clasp. The 4 o'clock crown is also noted as tricky to operate, particularly for winding. Accuracy varies, with one owner reporting significant gain after several months. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Tsuyosa Small Second highly for its impressive build quality and dial design at its price point.
