What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

From video reviewers

The Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic is praised for its attractive dial colors and Genta-inspired design. Reviewers note issues with the bracelet clasp.

Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch

Owners widely praise the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch for its excellent value, attractive dials with gradient effects, sapphire crystal, and 200m water resistance. The bracelet is noted by some as surprisingly quiet and smooth, and the watch is considered to wear well on smaller wrists. Some owners find the traditional circle indices less unique than other models, and a few note minor issues like slightly misaligned chapter markers or a "grindy" hand-winding feel. Overall, owners rate the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch highly for its attractive design and value at the price point.
