Citizen Ends the Game (and the PRX)

Hide yo wives, hide yo kids, citizen just updated the Tsuyosa, and I don't think you can get a better integrated bracelet watch for $500.

I have the PRX now for a year. It is still an amazing watch and I am very happy with it.

Beautiful watch for the price. Citizen has always been a good brand and here they are taking it up a notch. Good for them....and us.

Fuxx, looks like I am buying another watch. Kids, stay away from this addiction 😂😂

Citizen has been a major player in the watch world since the 70s - it's just been overshadowed by Seiko and Casio, but as far as I'm concerned, Citizen beats them both in many aspects (not all) and it was the first watch I ever purchased as a teenager 20+ years ago. This new release is no different, it punches WAY above its weight class and it's finished well. And since I'm here I'll also remind folks how Citizen was also the very FIRST watch brand to implement and utilize titanium (I'll stay away from mentioning Eco-Drive because we're talking automatics) cool video Max 👍

So many brands who make more affordable integrated bracelet watches (CW, Tissot, Citizen, Direnzo etc) are missing a trick IMHO by not making 38mm versions. Its probably the perfect size for this type of watch for a lot of wrist sizes yet no one seems to have made one yet?

Citizen killed it with this, but the PRX case and bracelet are simply perfect. It's still the best for the price, especially the quartz model, it's unbeatable.

The small second sells it for me. Small seconds are elegant and definitely underrated.

The PRX is obviously still the benchmark for an "affordable" integrated bracelet sports watch. There has yet to be another that has not been compared. I have tried to replace mine but, it has achieved greatness in a segment that, seemingly, can not be overcome...

I love my gorgeous PRX with the blue waffle dial.

I bought three Tsuyosas on vacation just a couple of weeks ago on a cruise. One on the ship (Tiffany), one in Turks and Caicos (green) and one in the Bahamas (yellow). It became a *quest* to find different colors (which I posted on WC), and the reasonable price made it easily doable. These watches are a bargain and a stylish melange of PRX and OP. Love 'em!

I own a PRX. I'm not in an existential despair.

I own both a Tsuyosa (ice blue) and a PRX (dark blue), and while the Citizen is a really nice, everyday watch with great finishing and a beautiful bracelet, after almost a year it still didn't "click". Everytime I wear my PRX, I just can't stop looking at it. The stunning bracelet that shimmers in the light, the sunburst dial that ranges from an almost black tone to a breathtaking navy blue, the handset, the indices.... I feel like to me, the overall package is more coherent and pleasing for the eyes than the Tsuyosa's. Again, just my 2 cents. But it's interesting to see other perspectives and opinions - that's what's so great about our hobby after all! 🥰

My wife gifted me a Tissot PRX ice blue 35mm quartz on our 6th wedding anniversary. It fits perfectly on my 6.5 inch wrist. If citizen makes small seconds with about 35-37mm dial, it will fit majority of wrists.

Love the dial but hate the bracelet. I have had my PRX powrmatic 80 for over a year . It is worn every week with pleasure. I will get a CW 12 and give my prx to my grandson sometime in the future. Citizen is working their way out of mall watch hell with their new automatics. Enjoy your reviews.

PRX has become the go to name for budget integrated bracelet. I know a lot of people who owns it and are quiet happy about it.

[Mud_Beans]

Its a nice watch but to me the PRX looks way better. That being said, I would own both.

[FreshYoungDude]

Upgrade the movement to the 9000 series, reduce the thickness and case size 2-3mm, and you have a buyer here.

[SirRyneaux]

I haven't even thought about a Citizen in years but definitely will give this one a gander.

[laowhy]

Dying at Gyoza. Interesting offering from Citizen. Love the channel btw, you are one of the best around.

[carlosterrones]

For me this watch is even better and beautiful than the PRX...the dial so simple and minimalist is so perfect...hope citizen start working with more auto-movement pieces..great review
