- Today we are looking at the exciting new release signed by Citizen, the Titanium NJ0180-80X is hands down the best integrated bracelet watch I've ever tried!
Hope you enjoy it, Andrei - Zábava
Now THIS is the real "affordable luxury"
Haha! True :)
You misspelled san martin
@@shahan1465 San Martin is crazy good. Lack originality but crazy good.
I just got this watch and it doesn’t check the box. The bracelet feels very cheap and doesn’t offer good adjustment.
Forget Rolex 👏👏
I've said many times, if you want a watch that would not disappoint you and never break a bank with cheaper to need almost no maintenance -- Citizen
Haha! Fully agree! :)
And Hublot

Orient Star also.

Well done Citizen. They are doing a great job filling the 'value proposition' void that Seiko left behind.
New to watches, what do you mean exactly when you say " the 'value proposition' void that Seiko left behind."?
Is Seiko not good value anymore?
Edit: Context, when I watch videos about value watches, Seiko gets mentioned almost every single time.
@@skirt_skirt Yes, Seiko prices have gone up several rungs in recent years, arguably without the equivalent increase in quality.
@@skirt_skirtseikos qc is fuckin butt for what they cost nowadays and they’re nowhere near worth the dumb prices you can get true reliable qc from citizen for hundreds less lol
Citizen really taking the spotlight lately!
Fully agree! :)
They are making beautiful watches!
Citizen has their spotlight since a long time ago. Great history, innovations, and achievements in horology, a lot of people just don't know about it. I've Citizen Attesa ATD53-2841 with the features like sapphire crystal (anti-reflection coating glass), antimagnetic, perpetual calendar, titanium, hard-coating band, eco-drive, radio controlled, duratect (scratch resistant), got it second-hand just for $50! Swiss-made just never on that level of insanity price worth comparing to some japanese watches.
As an independent watch repairman I just love the Citizen/Miyota movements as they are so well designed and reliable. I take a Miyota movement over a Seiko movement any day, and the Seiko movements are pretty darn good!
What’s your opinion on Rolex and whether they’re worth the money?
I would like to know your opinion on sellita vs eta please
This is a Grand Seiko Spring drive.. it's an abomination to have these 2 watches compared aside from MAYBE the dial texture.
Miyota movements are what watchmakers call a throwaway movement… it’s not even worth the time and effort to fix one versus just buying a replacement and being done with it…
@@popecosh307 thats why his lazy ass likes it more than a seiko
You are by far my favorite watch CZcamsr. Great review, man! Glad to see Citizen getting the love it deserves!
Thank you very much! ❤️ They are super cool! Citizen always makes me spend money on their new releases 🤷
"CITIZEN BEATS GRAND SEIKO! (3hz, 40hr, low accuracy, stamped clasp)" A solid PRX rival but not really a GS rival is it? Come on BB - you're better than these click bait titles 😂
Comparing 32h Sellita to 9R 5days Spring Drive Movement is just a focking lough
using 800 series but asking for around 650sgd in Singapore. Nice dial and super titanium. that's it.
I feel like you can compare citizens AQ4100-65L to a grand seiko, but definitely not this
He means the dial, stupid. Next time try listening to the video 😅
@@SonOvaSon the GS and AQ can and should be compared. ‘The Citizen’ line of watches is outstanding.
I love your enthusiasm and authenticity ! And that your cat just randomly walks across the screen 🤣
haha! yes, it was quite fun!
I recently bought the Citizen Attesa Moonphase AT, and I absolutely love it. The finishing of the titanium is amazing. With the protective coating, there are no marks on the finish, and I've hardly taken it off for several months.
Strongly agreed !!! Citizen is making fantastic watches.
I own citizen nb1060 and i think the dial is one of the most beautiful dials ever created. This one in particular is astonishing as well. Hope they will make more of such watches in the future!
Wow citizen is killing it with these automatic watches!!! Keep the good work citizen 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
a really thoughtful and visually appealing review, thank you very much for this!
Great shots & excellent review. Thank you.
Thank you! :)
The cinematography here is the best I’ve seen on CZcams. Well done, Andrei!
I love these textured dials that are popular at the moment, they look so cool.
Hello there!
Just discovered your channel I like your genuine enthusiasm which is kind of rare to find these days
Excellent production quality is an added bonus
I really wish it didn't have the pointless reminder that it's "Automatic Titanium" on the Dial.
Haha, yes! Fully agree!
Exactly.
Should be:
Automatic Chronometer😅
I love the placement of the seconds, very tasteful
Ome of the first Citizens that actually grabbed my attention. Excellent shots and overview 🤘🏻
Thank you! :)
Looks great and an amazing value proposition. Thank for the review.
Cheers!
After your review I bought one!! Followed your advice and went through Chronicles 24 and it arrived in Australia from Italy in 2DAYS!!!!
Thank you love it.
A lot of really cool Citizen releases lately! Would love to get one of these as my first Citizen 😊
Beautiful watch, thanks for reviewing 👍
Absolutely stunning! Citizen are on a roll at the moment and keep going from strength to strength... love your content and this review was superb 😊
Thank you! :)
Just got a citizen chronomaster.
It is so gorgeous. The titanium in brown is on my list
That is a beauty! Congrats!
Impressed ! ... good to see Citizen waking up & shaking up things in the market offering some nicely thought out & well put together pieces at a sensible price. i think the clasp would be a fair niggle but other than that what's not to like .
Fully agree! Great offering and great competition for luxury watches! :) cheers
One of my favorite watch reviews from one of my favorite reviewers. Great footage and I think Citizen has been on a roll lately. Citizen is doing what Seiko simply can’t anymore, it’s offering good quality at their affordable price.
Exactly
Haha! Thank you :)
I love the content on this channel, with affordable pieces that are often overlooked, and are more interesting than the usual Ali Express stuff that other channels cover.
I wish they made it in 36-37mm! But this looks absolutely stunning
Thank you. Another great video. Interestingly I’m a hardcore Grand Seiko collector (10+) and I recently fell for a Citizen chronomaster in titanium. Crazy specs (washi dial on a solar quartz with perpetual calendar, insane accuracy, zaratsu polishing), gorgeous looks and design, and half the price of a basic GS 9F…
10 ? And your kids eat dry bread?
@@BR81-iv6lt The trick is to not have kids. Unfortunately I only realised this after my third... 10 x GS is a distant dream now
That is a beautiful watch for sure, I have to grab one for myself :) Cheers!
@BR81-iv6lt you realize there's people that can afford nice things and feed thier kids right? Not everyone is in the shitty situation as you. Drying doing better instead of hating people that are
@@TimeKeeper978 hahaha...😂
Right on Citizen!
Started browsing while having a Speedmaster on my wrist.
I was already thinking about this one. Really nice watch with a beautiful dial color, like a tropical turqoise bay!! 38/39mm preferred and shame they did not use a higher beat 9 series movement. Thanks man!
Cheers!
The outdoor shots are amazing, nice job 👌🏻
I love your videos man, keep it up! This watch looks amazing.
Thank you very much! ❤️
Wow, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Could always use another Tsuyosa in my collection.
Great authentic video, great recomendation! going on my watchlist!
Just came across your channel. I really like the detail you go to and how you do your videos. Keep up the good work
That is a gorgeous time piece.
It looks amazing, great video
I'll be looking for the chrono
Fantastic review!! Citizen is really nailing it with their releases lately - this and the AW0130-85ZE with the Salmon dial are probably my favorites so far!
Hi Jenni,
You are right, many versions to choose from, I was just thinking I'd buy yhe chrono and the quartz version as well :)
All the best,
Andrei
Love this watch! Citizen is really bringing some great well priced models to market. Thanks for the review!
Thank you for your review, Mr Brave Beaters. Looks like another watch you have convinced me to buy.😀
Hahahaha! It looks very nice! It deserves a chance for sure :)
I like every video of yours. Kept aside how well u explain and create hype and deliver. I really like the watches u showcase and maybe its just same viewpoint of us.
Bravo citizen. This is the first big brand watch that ive liked, that gives any micro brand a total run for the money.
great review! I'm watching this while wearing my Garrison titanium as well!
Cheers! :)
Nice bro thanks for the info. Everything i wanted.
Titanium.
+40mm.
Beautiful dial + colour.
Affordable.
Got mine a couple weeks ago, went for the salmon dial version, and I absolutely love it! 😍
after 15y of watch nerding i have evolved into solar quartz only
At the beginning of my watch collection I tried an NH35, then I been only collecting solar watches most of them (90%) Citizen titanium, just one Seikona.. But this last release from Citizen is very tempting.
Citizen is offering fresh designs with great specs at affordable prices, I'm just waiting for calm down the hype for this automatic release
I decided to buy watches with manually wound mechanical movement or solar quartz movement.
However, there are so many interesting watches with automatic movement. So tempting.
I'm evolving to the same endgame. It's like the crab of the watch world.
If the Citizen Logo is embossed, it's perfect
What a gorgeous watch !
This is gorgeous. ❤
The watch itself looks like Iwc ingeniour but the dial looks like an OP. Fantastic job Citizen. Normally I’ll only go for higher end watches but citizen made a fantastic watch here
Guess you meant AP. Yes 🙌
Looks superb ! Just picked one up! It’s a no brainer at that price!
After getting Tsuyosa Iced blue dial last year, I got 1 eco drive from Citizen and planning to get more. Becoming a fan!
Citizen always offered good value but this is on another level.
Wow this truly is a looker! ❤ Nice review 😊
Cheers! :)
Citizen has been killing it recently. Ya love to see it.
Thanks for the review! What a gorgeous watch! Such a pity that it is again so oversized... If it had a reasonable size (36 - 38 mm) I'd buy it without thinking twice.
Citizen is crushing it these days
That is a very impressive watch for that price, really nice work by Citizen there
Very high quality content and images, congratulations 👏
Thank you very much! ❤️
This looks like a winner from Citizen.
I prefer the eco drive since in 19 years of heavy usage i never had to service it . The original battery still going on !
It's dope - but if I'm buying an automatic, i want that large second hand so i can enjoy the sweep. I only like the small seconds hand on pocket watches.
Citizen really smashing it out of the park last couple of years. Lovely designs and very reasonable pricing.
Citizen on a roll lately! This can be the death knell for Tissot PRX
Citizen is killing it lately
I would have bought one right away if it wasn't for that tiny date window. I would rather have a non date dial. Thanks for the video 👍🏽
Cheers!
Citizen has been hitting home runs in the last couple years! I'm really glad I didn't yet buy a Tsuyosa and discovered this watch. This is far better in just about every way. I'm very impressed with the build quality of this watch at this price point! It even has a sapphire! Citizen has had a reputation of putting mineral glass on most of their watches and I expected this to have glass as well but I'm glad Citizen surprised me on this aspect as well. I will definitely be picking one of these up! Too bad they are not available in the US right now. Like the Tsuyosas, Citizen may offer these watches in the US a few months after the initial release to other markets. Thanks for the review. It was helpful.
Yeah that is a stunning timepiece and no mistake 👍
Nice watch! Even nicer photography!
Well done Citizen. Now make a 37mm version thanks.
Would take the solar quartz eco-drive. I absolutely love the set and forget and accuracy of the eco-drive. Plus, still gorgeous
Citizen are smashing it lately, the eco drive chronograph on the integrated design looks very good too, I'll be curious to see a review on their more expensive pieces like series 8 or le to see how they quality compears to seiko or other mid tie, great review as usual and cute cat btw
Haha! Cheers! :)
I just got their latest automatic Promaster gmt which I absolutely adore, looks like I'll have to get this one as well.
Super cool watch , will consider
Cheers!
Wow citizen is moving on up. 🚀
Andrei my first watch given to me by my now late father, was a 1970 Citizen manual date watch wayyyyy back in 1972! I still have it now & recently had it serviced. Honestly I only knew the Citizen brand here in Australia at that tender age of 10!🤪This new titanium auto is a definite to add, especially with those specs let alone the price!🤩👍🏻
Great memory! ❤️
That dial is on point Andrei! Wow look at that! I was wondering if I should get the Series 8 but this is super pretty!
Honestly? This one looks better than the series 8
@@BraveBeaters I think you are right my friend.
this watch really looks so nice
As an engeneering student, no Titanium is 5× harder than steel. Its just bad marketing but doesnt take anything away from the watch
They love the date window in Japan lol beautiful piece
Amazing watch!
WOW, I have to pick this one up!
I like it that Citizen developed this model into Titanium version for a change ❤
I wish they'd release eco drive versions of all of these. I get that automatic watches fit the higher end market better, but I love the idea of having a nice watch that's super accurate and powered by light.
Quite the spec! will defo look to pick it up
this watch is superb with its elegant dial and quality build material and very much luxury looking
As someone with modest income I used to look at Seiko and Orient...they were cheaper than Citizen for roughly the same specs. Now that Seiko has moved upmarket Citizen has caught my eye these last few years. I've also looked at microbrands too. But Citizen has really knocked it out...but I do wish some of my favorite Citizen watches didn't have integrated lugs. I would like the option to switch out to bands.
Wow it looks amazing
I’ll be picking one of these up sooner rather than later
Damn that thing is nice, I wish they had a slightly smaller size but I might have to buy that beauty
Beautiful. Maybe a bit big for my super thin wrist, but it certainly has the look and feel of a +1500 dollars watch.
Thought I’d never ever say it but citizen is on top of seiko rn 💯
that second's subdial placement drives me crazy
Agreed. Getting really tired of the 'small second' trend at this point.
Listen up Mr Citizen loose the small second dial and the auto titan words and I’ll take one in green please, thanks you.
Great video brother ❤
Sick watch really like it!
Beautiful, great job by Citizen! Which one are the eco-drive models named?
Great watch. Is it only available in the Europe market?
Plus points for the cat at the beginning of the video ❤🌚
Great video
