Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
The Citizen Tsuyosa is praised for its gorgeous dial and nice finishing, with owners finding its white dial versatile and its wrist presence excellent. It is considered a fun, people-pleasing watch, especially for summer, and offers excellent value. However, the 40-hour power reserve requires resetting after weekends, and the integrated bracelet rattles. One owner notes the Miyota 8210 movement is noisy and considered boring for enthusiasts, with initial accuracy issues that resolved themselves. The US price of $450 is seen as too high, with better value around $300 in the EU. On balance, owners rate the Citizen Tsuyosa highly for its dial and finishing at the price, despite caveats regarding the bracelet and movement.
The Citizen Tsuyosa's compact size and versatility are notable strengths, with the 37mm case being a welcome addition to the series. The watch's price point under SGD 600 is also a positive aspect. A weakness is the integrated bracelet's potential for rattle.
Owners and reviewers widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 for its exquisite vitreous enamel dial, noting its depth, unique light play, and custom typography. The watch is also commended for its comfortable wearability, elegant design, and appealing price point for its handmade processes, with an 800 vickers hardened case resisting scratches well. Some owners report the Sellita SW200-1 movement's rotor is noticeable and the watch lacks lume. Significant wait times, potentially exceeding two years, are a frequently cited drawback. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the anOrdain Model 1 highly for its exceptional enamel dial and handcrafted aesthetic at the price.
Thoughtful finishing and beautiful color options are notable strengths of the anOrdain Model 1. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively long, which may not suit everyone's wrist size, and the relatively low 5ATM water-resistance may limit its suitability for swimming or diving. Reviewers disagree on the movement used in the watch, with some mentioning the Sellita SW210 or La Joux Perret G101, while others mention the Sellita SW200.
