What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Series 8 831

Owners widely praise the Citizen Series 8 831 for its finishing, with one owner noting it exceeded expectations. Reviewers highlight the textured Ice Blue dial and the bracelet's play of light, contributing to a comfortable and luxurious feel on the wrist. The watch features a 40mm ion-plated stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, and 100 meters of water resistance. It is powered by the in-house Miyota Caliber 9051 automatic movement, which has a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +20 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Series 8 831 highly for its impressive finishing and dial design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The case finishing, with its contrasting brushed and polished surfaces, is a notable strength. The 40mm case size and comfortable fit are also consistently mentioned. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.

Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic

The Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic is widely praised for its exceptional value, with reviewers and owners alike highlighting its Japanese construction quality and impressive fit and finish for the price. Enthusiasts appreciate its versatile design and fun dial colors, while reviewers note its retro feel and emulation of vintage dress watches. The watch is powered by Citizen's caliber 8322 movement, offering a 60-hour power reserve. Criticisms include a cyclops date magnifier that some find undesirable, a bracelet that can be noisy and lacks significant tapering, and a 40mm case that wears large due to its thickness and broad lugs. One owner also found the 4 o'clock crown fiddly for winding. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic highly for its incredible bargain price and well-executed design.
