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 Shore

The Citizen Tsuyosa Shore is widely regarded as a versatile sports-casual watch with a sunray-brushed dial, luminous hands and markers, and a 100-meter water resistance. It features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a 60-minute aluminum insert and a President-style bracelet noted for its comfort and mix of finishes. The watch is powered by the in-house automatic Calibre 8210 movement. While it offers 100m WR and a rotating bezel, it is not considered a true diver's watch as it does not meet ISO certification or tool-watch standards. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Citizen Tsuyosa Shore for its accessible pricing and everyday wearability as a lifestyle-oriented timepiece.

Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench

The Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench is widely seen as a commemorative keepsake, particularly for those celebrating Singapore's 60th anniversary or born in 1965. Reviewers note its vibrant red enamel dial and 37mm steel case with fixed wire lugs, along with 100m water resistance. One owner reported the watch is "patina-ing well" after three years, and the Miyota 82S5 movement is considered a reliable, cost-effective base. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Vario 1918 SG60 Merlion Trench as a unique souvenir and tribute piece, with its distinctive enamel dial being a key draw.
