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.

Zelos Swordfish 3

Owners widely praise the Zelos Swordfish 3 for its strong value, with reviewers highlighting the textured sandwich dial, Seiko NH35 movement, 200m water resistance, and surprisingly good bracelet. The titanium construction is noted for making the watch compact and comfortable, weighing 117g. Some owners find the dimensions fine on paper and based on experience with other models. One reviewer flagged that legibility can suffer in bright light and bracelet edges are sharp. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Swordfish 3 highly for its incredible value and fun design, particularly with unique dial options.
