Citizen has added a new watch to its US lineup. The AW1890-01A, part of the company’s Terra Force series, is now available on Citizen’s website for $350. It is a straightforward, military-style field watch that runs on the company’s standard solar-powered movement.

Design Details

The watch features a 41.2mm silver-tone stainless steel case. This is a fairly average size for a modern men’s watch, meaning it should fit most wrists without looking oversized. The case design is angular, and it includes a textured crown to make it easier to grip and turn.

Instead of a metal bracelet or leather band, Citizen opted for a gray nylon Nato strap with a standard buckle. Nato straps are common for field watches because they are lightweight and easy to swap out, which fits the utilitarian design Citizen is going for here.

On the dial, the watch is mostly gray. It uses standard Arabic numerals for the hours and features a curved ring around the outer edge to mark the minutes. The hour and minute hands are partially skeletonized and have luminous material applied to them so you can read the time in the dark. The seconds hand is blue, which is the only real bit of color on the watch. There is also a date window positioned at the bottom of the dial at 6 o’clock.

To protect the dial, Citizen used mineral crystal. This provides decent impact resistance, but it is worth noting that mineral crystal is more prone to scratching than the sapphire crystal you sometimes see on other watches in this price range.

Inside, the AW1890-01A uses Citizen’s Caliber J810 movement. This is an Eco-Drive mechanism, which is Citizen’s proprietary solar technology. It charges the internal battery using any available light source, whether that is the sun or just the lamps in your office.

For water resistance, the watch is rated at 100 meters (10 Bar). This means it is perfectly fine to wear while swimming or in the shower, though it is not built for scuba diving.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched two striking limited-edition timepieces: a bullhead racing watch with Eco-Drive technology and 200-meter water resistance, and a bold Promaster Eco-Drive model featuring an oversized gold-tone design.

The post Citizen launches rugged new Eco-Drive field watch with a military-inspired look appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has released a new limited-edition watch, the Promaster Tsuno Chrono Racer. In the UK market, the same model is sold under the name Promaster Bullhead Racing Chronograph. The watch is available now on the company’s regional websites, priced at $1,350 in the US and £895 in the UK. It combines a 1970s automotive layout with Citizen’s current solar-powered movement technology.

Design Details

The main physical characteristic of this model (AV0104-06W) is its bullhead case design. Instead of the standard placement on the right side of the watch, the main crown and the chronograph pushers are located at the top of the case. This configuration was originally used in older racing watches to make the stopwatch functions easier to operate while holding a steering wheel. The case measures 44.5mm in diameter and is constructed from two-tone stainless steel.

The dial incorporates several design elements based on car dashboards. The power reserve indicator is formatted to look like a vehicle’s fuel gauge, while the 60-minute chronograph subdial is styled after a speedometer. The dial itself is green with gold-tone accents. The watch comes with a brown leather strap secured by a push-button deployant clasp.

Internally, the watch is powered by Citizen’s hand-assembled Caliber E210 movement. It utilizes the Eco-Drive system, which charges the internal power cell using any available natural or artificial light, eliminating the need for standard battery replacements. The chronograph features a 1/5-second flyback timer that can measure intervals up to 12 hours. Additionally, it includes a daily alarm, a standard date window, and a tachymeter scale along the edge.

The watch is fitted with a flat sapphire crystal for scratch resistance. It carries a water resistance rating of 200 meters (20 Bar), making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling.

Citizen is limiting production to 5,000 unnumbered units worldwide, and each unit ships in a specific edition box that includes a metal plaque.

The post Citizen launches limited-edition bullhead racing watch with Eco-Drive & 200m water resistance appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has announced the release of a new model in its aviation watch line, the Promaster Skyhawk A-T (JY8144-50E). The watch is now available for purchase in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

Design Details

The watch operates on Citizen’s Caliber U680 movement, which incorporates two of the company’s standard hardware features: Eco-Drive and atomic timekeeping. The Eco-Drive system uses panels under the dial to convert natural and artificial light into energy, storing it in a rechargeable cell. This allows the watch to run continuously without requiring standard battery replacements.

For timekeeping, the watch uses radio-controlled synchronization. It receives time calibration radio signals from atomic clocks to maintain accuracy. The internal software supports automatic time adjustments for 43 different cities around the world, which is a practical feature for users who travel between time zones and want their watch to update automatically.

Regarding its physical build, the Skyhawk A-T has a 46mm case made of gold-tone stainless steel, featuring a combination of brushed and polished metal finishes. It comes with a matching stainless steel bracelet that fastens with a fold-over clasp and hidden push buttons.

The black dial is covered by a sapphire crystal treated with an anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and resist scratches. It also has a water resistance rating of 200 meters, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling.

The dial layout is a hybrid design, using standard analog hands alongside digital LCD screens to display additional information. The built-in functions include a perpetual calendar, a 1/100-second chronograph that measures up to 24 hours, a 99-minute countdown timer, two daily alarms, and a dual time zone setting.

Because it is categorized as an aviation watch, it also includes a specific display for Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). An analog gauge indicates the current power reserve of the battery, and the digital screens can be illuminated with a built-in backlight for reading in the dark.

Pricing and Availability

The Promaster Skyhawk A-T is positioned as a limited-production model, with Citizen capping the global run at 5,200 unnumbered pieces. It is available now directly through Citizen’s regional websites, priced at $995.00 in the US and £695.00 in the UK.

In related news, Casio has recently launched a sleek limited-edition matcha green retro watch, along with new AQ-240E models featuring stylish navy and glossy black retro designs.

The post Citizen launches stunning limited-edition Promaster Eco-Drive watch with massive gold-tone design appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has released three new men’s sports watches in the UK under its AW191 series. The new models are available now on the company’s UK website and stick to a basic, functional formula: standard analog designs powered by Citizen’s long-running Eco-Drive solar technology.

Design Details

The release includes three specific models: the AW1914-55L, the AW1911-53E, and the AW1911-53A. All three share the same underlying hardware and a 43mm stainless steel case, which is a fairly standard size for modern sports watches.

The AW1914-55L is the most expensive of the group at £299. It comes with a two-tone stainless steel case and bracelet, along with a navy blue dial and a matching blue bezel. The other two models are priced slightly lower at £279 and offer a more standard silver-tone steel finish. The AW1911-53E features a black dial and black bezel, while the AW1911-53A pairs a white dial with a black bezel. All three watches use a standard stainless steel bracelet secured by a fold-over clasp with push buttons.

The watch features Citizen’s Eco-Drive movement, which eliminates the need for regular battery replacements or manual winding. It converts natural sunlight and indoor light into power, allowing the watch to run continuously without a battery swap as long as it receives regular light exposure.

Otherwise, the specs are exactly what you would expect for a watch at this price point. The dial is covered by mineral crystal. It provides decent impact resistance, though it is more prone to scratching than the sapphire crystal you usually find on more expensive watches. The dial itself is straightforward, featuring a basic three-hand layout for the time and a small date window.

For water resistance, the watches are rated at 100 meters (10 Bar). This means they are fine for surface swimming, showering, and snorkeling, but they are not built for scuba diving.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched compact Eco-Drive watches with elegant designs, while the brand also introduced a limited-edition Promaster Skyhawk with serious flight-ready features.

The post Citizen launches three new Eco-Drive sports watches with elegant steel designs appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has added two new models to its UK watch lineup: the EW1277-15A and the EW1273-08A. Both watches are part of the EW127 series and are currently available for purchase on the Citizen UK website.

Design Details and Pricing

Both models share the exact same core design and specifications. They feature a small 23mm stainless steel case, making them very compact. The dial layout is identical on both versions: a plain white background with standard black Arabic numerals and a basic three-hand movement. Citizen has also included a subtle date window positioned at 3 o’clock, keeping the watch focused and highly functional.

The differences between the two watches are entirely cosmetic, limited to the case finish and the included strap. The EW1277-15A is priced at £149.00. It has a silver-tone stainless steel case and comes with a pink leather strap that fastens with a standard pin buckle. The EW1273-08A costs slightly more at £169.00. It features a gold-tone stainless steel case and is paired with a light brown leather strap.

Inside, both watches run on Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology. This system uses a solar panel hidden under the dial to convert natural and artificial light into electrical energy, which is then stored in a rechargeable cell. Because it charges continuously when exposed to ambient light, the watch does not require regular battery replacements.

The rest of the hardware is standard for watches in this price range. The dial is covered by mineral crystal, which provides basic protection but is more prone to scratching than the sapphire crystal used on higher-end watches.

Both models have a water resistance rating of 30 meters. In practical terms, this rating means the watches can withstand light splashes from washing hands or rain, but they are not built to be submerged in water and should not be worn while swimming or showering.

In related news, Casio has launched its affordable MTP-VT06 watch series in India with stainless steel and leather strap options, while Timex has introduced a new automatic field watch featuring a titanium case and 200m water resistance.

The post Citizen launches compact Eco-Drive watches with elegant designs appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has released a new limited-edition model in its Promaster line, partnering with the Royal Air Force’s Red Arrows display team. The new Red Arrows Limited Edition Promaster Skyhawk (model JV2007-52E) is a hybrid analog-digital watch that focuses on aviation tools and durability. It is available now on the Citizen UK website for £695.

Design Details

From a hardware perspective, the Skyhawk is built around a 43mm case made of black ion-plated stainless steel. It comes with a matching triple-link stainless steel bracelet that fastens with a standard fold-over clasp and push buttons.

The top of the case features a rotating slide-rule bezel, which is a traditional mechanical tool pilots historically used for manual fuel and distance calculations. The watch face is covered by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a standard material for watches in this price range that prevents scratches and reduces glare.

The dial itself uses a black background with white and red accents. Because it is a hybrid watch, it combines traditional physical hands with digital readout screens to display its various functions. The feature set is extensive and geared toward travel and timing. It includes atomic timekeeping, meaning the watch syncs via radio signals to maintain exact accuracy, alongside standard world-time functions for tracking different time zones.

Additionally, the watch includes a perpetual calendar, a daily alarm, a 99-minute countdown timer, and a 1/100-second chronograph that can measure intervals up to 24 hours. Despite being an aviation-focused watch, it also carries a water resistance rating of 200 meters, meaning it will easily survive swimming or heavy rain.

Citizen is limiting the production of this specific Red Arrows model to 9,999 pieces globally. Each unit ships in a specific limited-edition presentation box.

In related news, Timex has launched a new fall-themed Peanuts Waterbury Classic watch, along with the affordable Expedition Sierra Chronograph featuring a bold military-inspired dial.

The post Citizen launches limited edition Promaster Skyhawk with serious flight-ready features appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has expanded its US lineup with the release of two new Addysen watches. Following a launch in the UK earlier this month, the rectangular dress watches are now available stateside. The Addysen line sits within the company’s Dress Classic collection, focusing on traditional proportions and Citizen’s standard solar-powered hardware.

Design Details

The physical design of the watch leans into the ongoing market trend of rectangular cases, offering a direct alternative to standard circular dials. The Addysen measures 36mm tall by 26.5mm wide.

These dimensions make it a relatively compact, mid-sized watch that is designed to fit easily under a shirt cuff. The case features a 20mm lug width and comes equipped with a matching seven-link stainless steel bracelet, which secures to the wrist using a standard fold-over clasp with push buttons.

Citizen is offering two specific configurations for the US market. The first model (BJ6574-59E) features a two-tone stainless steel case paired with a sunray gray dial. The second model (BJ6572-54X) uses a yellow gold-tone stainless steel case with a sunray red dial. Both versions use applied Roman numerals for the hour markers.

Internally, both watches run on Citizen’s E037 Eco-Drive movement. The Eco-Drive system is a practical inclusion for a watch in this category; it uses a solar panel under the dial to charge the internal cell using any natural or artificial light. This means the watch does not require regular battery replacements and will maintain its charge as long as it gets occasional ambient light exposure.

For durability, Citizen opted for a sapphire crystal over the dial, which provides better scratch resistance than standard mineral glass. The watches also carry a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 Bar). While the company says this is rated for still water swimming, a 50-meter rating on a dress watch is generally best suited for surviving daily splashes, hand washing, or rain.

Pricing and Availability

Both the two-tone and gold-tone Addysen models are priced at $495. They are currently available to order directly from the Citizen US website.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched a new Star Wars Eco-Drive watch featuring a glowing green lightsaber, while also releasing two limited-edition Eco-Drive Photon watches.

The post Citizen launches stylish new Addysen Eco-Drive dress watches with rectangular cases in the US appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has added another model to its ongoing line of Star Wars-themed watches. The latest release is the Luke Skywalker Jedi Master edition (AW1910-48W), a $450 analog watch that is available now through the company’s US website.

Design Details

The watch comes with a black and green dial featuring a silhouette of Luke Skywalker holding his lightsaber. Citizen has applied luminous coating to the hands, hour markers, and lightsaber, allowing these elements to glow in the dark.

The design incorporates the Star Wars theme in a subtle way without making the watch look overly playful. There is also a small Rebel Alliance logo placed at the 12 o’clock position, and the back of the case is engraved with the quote, I am a Jedi like my father before me.

The watch features a 43mm polished silver-tone stainless steel case. This size is fairly common for modern watches, although it may feel slightly large on smaller wrists. It is paired with a black leather strap featuring green stitching and a matching green inner lining that complements the dial. The strap is secured with a standard buckle clasp.

Inside, the watch runs on Citizen’s J810 Eco-Drive movement. The Eco-Drive system is essentially a light-powered mechanism that charges the internal power cell using any available light source, whether natural or artificial. This means you don’t have to worry about opening the case to replace a standard watch battery every few years.

For durability, Citizen opted for a mineral crystal over the dial. While mineral crystal provides standard impact resistance, it is more prone to scratching than sapphire crystal. It also has a water resistance rating of 100 meters (10 Bar), which means it is perfectly fine to wear while swimming, showering, or snorkeling.

In related news, Citizen has recently released two limited-edition Eco-Drive Photon watches alongside a stylish new Eco-Drive Rolan model with a vintage-inspired brown dial.

The post Citizen launches new Star Wars Eco-Drive watch with a glowing green lightsaber appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has introduced two new watches to its UK lineup: the Eco-Drive Photon BJ6569-59X and the BJ6560-53W. Both models are currently available on the company’s UK and US websites and share the same core specifications, differing only in their exterior finish and price.

Design Details

The watches feature a 40mm case made from Citizen’s Super Titanium. This is the company’s proprietary titanium alloy, which is treated to be more scratch-resistant and noticeably lighter than standard stainless steel. On top of the dial, Citizen has used an anti-reflective, dual-curved sapphire crystal, which is standard for watches in this price bracket and provides high scratch resistance.

The dial itself is black and features Citizen’s structural ink, a textured finish that interacts with light to create visual contrast. Both models use Eco-Drive technology, allowing them to run on ambient and artificial light instead of a traditional battery or mechanical mainspring.

The movement is a straightforward three-hand setup and includes a few practical power management features. It will warn the wearer if the charge is getting low, prevent the internal solar cell from overcharging, and include a quick-start function if the watch has been left in the dark and completely died.

Both watches have a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 Bar). This means they can handle rain, splashes, and surface swimming, but they are not designed for diving or high-pressure water sports.

Pricing and Availability

The variation between the two models comes down entirely to the case and bracelet coating. The BJ6569-59X is priced at £895/$995 and features a grey ion-plated finish, giving it a darker, monochromatic look. The BJ6560-53W costs £749/$1,195 and has a standard silver-tone finish on the titanium. Citizen is producing 5,000 pieces of each model worldwide, and they are unnumbered.

The post Citizen releases two limited-edition Eco-Drive Photon watches appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has updated its Rolan watch collection in the United Kingdom with a new color configuration. The new model, officially listed as the AW2113-16X, pairs a brown metal dial with a rose gold-tone stainless steel case and a standard brown leather strap. It is available now directly through Citizen’s UK website for £199.00.

Citizen AW2113-16X Specifications

The AW2113-16X joins an established lineup of Rolan variants, expanding a catalog that already includes dial options in blue, mother-of-pearl, salmon, and black. From a hardware perspective, this new release does not alter the physical dimensions of the series.

The case measures 41mm in diameter, placing it in the standard middle ground of modern watch sizing. It features a basic three-hand dial layout, which is protected by a mineral crystal.

The tech driving the watch remains Citizen’s proprietary Eco-Drive movement. Instead of using a traditional replaceable silver-oxide battery, the Eco-Drive system utilizes a specialized solar panel situated beneath the dial to draw power from both natural and artificial light sources.

This energy is stored in an internal rechargeable cell. For the end user, this means the watch can run continuously without requiring routine battery swaps, provided it receives regular exposure to light.

In terms of durability, the official technical specifications list the watch with a water resistance rating of 50 meters, or 5 Bar. This rating means the hardware is sealed well enough to handle surface swimming, rain, and general water exposure, though it is not rated for high-pressure water activities or diving.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched a new Promaster Dive watch featuring a striking white dial and 200m water resistance. The company has also introduced the stylish Eco-Drive Peyten watch with a gold-tone finish.

The post Citizen launches stylish new Eco-Drive Rolan watch with a vintage-inspired brown dial appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has released a new version (BN0265-00A) of its Promaster Dive watch in the United States. The watch, which was previously only available with blue and black dials, now comes in a white dial variant. It is currently listed for sale on the company’s US website for $450.

Design Details

The watch features a silver-tone stainless steel case measuring 40.6mm across. In the context of dive watches, which often measure 42mm or larger, this is a mid-sized option that fits a wider range of wrist sizes for daily use.

It features a black unidirectional rotating bezel, which is a standard mechanical tool for tracking elapsed time underwater. The dial itself is matte white with applied hour markers, a standard date window at 3 o’clock, and subtle orange accents on the hands and dial.

Over the dial, Citizen uses a sapphire crystal. Sapphire is a common material for watches in this price category because it resists scratches better than standard mineral glass. It also has an anti-reflective coating to make the time easier to read under bright lights or direct sun. For the strap, this specific model comes with an olive-green polyurethane rubber band with a standard buckle, rather than a metal bracelet.

Inside, the watch runs on Citizen’s Eco-Drive movement, specifically the E168 caliber. This is a solar-powered quartz movement. It works by absorbing natural and artificial light through the dial to charge the watch’s internal cell. Because it constantly recharges from ambient light, you do not need to open the case to replace the battery every few years.

As the name suggests, it is built for diving. It has an ISO certification for dive watches and is water-resistant up to 200 meters, or 20 bar. This means it is safe to wear for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational scuba diving.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched two new Eco-Drive watches featuring sapphire crystal and rectangular cases, while Timex has introduced five new Q Timex Marbella models with retro-inspired designs and textured dials.

The post Citizen launches new Promaster Dive with a stunning white dial & 200m water resistance appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has expanded its recently launched Peyten watch series in the UK with a new gold-tone variant, the EM1232-59D. It is priced at £269.00 and joins the blue and purple dial variants introduced earlier this month.

Design Details

The EM1232-59D is built around a 30mm gold-tone stainless steel case, placing it firmly in the category of smaller, more traditional wristwatches rather than the oversized designs often seen in modern smartwatches or chronographs. The dial features a mother-of-pearl finish, standard applied hour markers, and a basic three-hand layout for standard timekeeping. There are no date windows or additional complications on the face.

Citizen has opted for a mineral crystal to protect the dial. While this is standard for watches in the sub-£300 price tier, mineral glass is more susceptible to scratches over time compared to the sapphire crystal materials usually reserved for higher-end models. The watch is paired with a matching gold-tone stainless steel bracelet that fastens using a standard fold-over clasp with push buttons.

The watch is powered by Eco-Drive technology, a proprietary solar-powered system. Instead of relying on a standard replaceable quartz battery or a mechanical mainspring, Eco-Drive uses a solar panel located beneath the dial to draw in both natural and artificial light. This light is converted into electrical energy and stored in a rechargeable cell. As long as the watch receives regular exposure to light, it will continue to run without requiring a battery replacement.

For durability, the watch carries a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 Bar). This means the case is sealed well enough to handle exposure to water during surface swimming or showering, but it is not intended for diving or high-impact water activities.

The Peyten EM1232-59D is currently available for purchase in the UK.

The post Citizen launches stunning new Eco-Drive Peyten watch with a gold-tone finish appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has updated its World Chronograph A.T lineup in the UK, adding a new green dial option to the series. The new model, officially listed as the AT8260-85X, is priced at £499 and is available to purchase now. It joins the existing blue and white versions in the company’s current catalog.

Design Details

The AT8260-85X is a 43mm stainless steel watch that combines traditional analog design with practical timekeeping technology. The case features a mix of brushed and polished finishes, paired with a standard silver-tone stainless steel bracelet that uses a push-button fold-over clasp.

On the right side of the case, there is a faceted crown and two pushers to operate the chronograph functions. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters, making it suitable for everyday wear, showering, and swimming.

The dial itself is green with silver-tone markers to provide visual contrast. It features a vertical three-register chronograph layout capable of measuring time in 1/20th of a second increments for up to 60 minutes. There is also a standard date window positioned at 3 o’clock.

Internally, the watch is built around Eco-Drive and Atomic Timekeeping systems. Because Eco-Drive draws power from both natural and artificial light, it eliminates the need for routine battery replacements. There is also a power reserve indicator on the dial so you can monitor the current charge level.

The Atomic Timekeeping feature uses a built-in radio receiver to sync with local time signals in four different global regions. When traveling, the watch automatically adjusts to the correct local time and date.

It supports 26 different time zones and includes a perpetual calendar, meaning the watch automatically accounts for the varying lengths of months and leap years without requiring manual adjustment. It also includes a 12/24-hour time format display.

In related news, Citizen has launched two new Eco-Drive watches featuring sapphire crystals and rectangular cases, while Timex has introduced two new MK1 Chronograph models with sunray dials and leather straps.

The post Citizen launches new Eco-Drive watch with green dial & radio-controlled timekeeping appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has added two new models to its Dress Classic watch lineup in the US: the BJ6572-54X and the BJ6574-59E. These two releases follow the BJ6570-50E, which the company put out last month.

Design Details

Instead of the bulky, oversized designs often seen on modern smartwatches or sports watches, Citizen is sticking to a smaller, rectangular form factor for these releases.

Both of the new watches share the exact same hardware and dimensions. The cases measure 36mm tall by 26.5mm wide, resulting in a slim profile that sits relatively flat against the wrist. They both use a standard three-hand layout with applied Roman numerals on the dial, and they attach to the wrist using a 7-link stainless steel bracelet secured by a push-button fold-over clasp.

The differences between the two models are strictly visual. The BJ6572-54X features a yellow gold-tone finish across the case and bracelet, paired with a dark red sunray dial. Meanwhile, the BJ6574-59E has a two-tone stainless steel finish and a black sunray dial. Neither watch includes a date window or any extra complications, keeping the dial layout minimal.

Inside, both watches are powered by Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology. Eco-Drive is essentially a solar-powered quartz movement. There is a light-catching panel hidden under the dial that absorbs both natural sunlight and indoor artificial light, converting it into energy to charge an internal cell.

For durability, Citizen uses sapphire crystal, which is more scratch-resistant than the mineral glass typically found on entry-level dress watches. They also have a water resistance rating of 50 meters (5 Bar). While a metal dress watch isn’t designed for diving, the 50-meter rating means the internal movement is protected enough to handle rain, hand-washing, or light surface swimming without taking water damage.

Pricing and Availability

Both the BJ6572-54X and BJ6574-59E are currently listed with a retail price of £249.00 on the Citizen UK website.

The post Citizen launches two new Eco-Drive watches with sapphire crystal & rectangular cases appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has expanded its UK watch lineup with three new additions to the Corso series. The new models are straightforward, traditional timepieces that stand out primarily for their smaller footprint and the inclusion of Citizen’s Eco-Drive solar charging system.

Design Details

The three watches are identical in their hardware and dimensions, with the only difference being the dial color. The EW2291-51Z features a purple dial, the EW2291-51X comes in pink, and the EW2291-51L has a blue dial. Citizen has opted for a 27mm silver-tone stainless steel case for these models.

In a wearable market currently dominated by bulky smartwatches that often exceed 40mm, a 27mm case is quite small. It caters specifically to people looking for a more traditional, unobtrusive watch rather than a large wrist-mounted screen.

The case is paired with a matching stainless steel bracelet that uses a standard fold-over clasp with push buttons. On the front, the dial is protected by mineral crystal. The dial layout features a standard three-hand time display alongside a small date window.

In terms of tech, the watch features Eco-Drive movement, which uses ambient light from both sunlight and indoor sources to generate and store energy. This removes the need for regular battery replacements and provides a convenient, low-maintenance ownership experience.

For durability, the new Corso models are rated for 100 meters of water resistance. This means the watches can handle standard daily water exposure, including showering, surface swimming, and snorkeling, without damaging the internal movement.

Pricing and Availability

The new purple, pink, and blue Citizen Corso models are available now in the UK for £229.00.

In related news, Citizen has recently launched a pair of elegant Eco-Drive Peyten watches with light-powered operation, alongside a refined rectangular watch equipped with solar charging and a sapphire crystal display.

Citizen has released two new additions to its Peyten watch lineup in the UK. The new models, the EM1230-54X and the EM1234-53L, are straightforward analog watches that focus on a smaller 30mm form factor and the company’s long-running Eco-Drive power system.

Design Details

In a wearable market currently dominated by smartwatches that require daily charging, Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology offers a different kind of convenience. Instead of a lithium-ion battery that needs to be plugged into a wall, or a standard quartz watch battery that requires a replacement every few years, Eco-Drive uses a specialized solar panel integrated beneath the dial.

This panel absorbs both natural sunlight and artificial indoor light, converting it into energy that is stored in a rechargeable cell. The result is a watch that effectively powers itself in the background as long as it gets regular light exposure.

Both of the new Peyten models share this underlying technology and the exact same 30mm case size, which is quite compact compared to the larger cases often found on modern tech wearables. The differences between the two models come down entirely to materials, dial color, and price.

The EM1230-54X is priced at £249.00. It features a standard silver-tone stainless steel case and a matching link bracelet. The dial is purple, fitted with basic applied markers and a standard three-hand movement, all protected by a mineral crystal.

The second model, the EM1234-53L, costs slightly more at £269.00. For the extra £20, the case and bracelet are swapped to a two-tone stainless steel finish. This version also changes the dial from purple to blue, but otherwise maintains the exact same layout and internal hardware as the silver-tone model.

Both watches secure to the wrist using a fold-over clasp with push buttons. They also share a water resistance rating of 50 meters. This means they can handle basic water exposure and surface swimming, though they aren’t built for diving or high-pressure water sports.

In related news, Citizen has recently unveiled a sleek rectangular watch featuring Eco-Drive solar technology and a sapphire crystal, while the company has also expanded its Tsuyosa 60 lineup with two new automatic models sporting a gold-tone finish.

The post Citizen launches two elegant Eco-Drive Peyten watches that never need battery changes appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has added a new model to its US catalog with the release of the BJ6570-50E, categorized under the Addysen line. The watch is priced at $450. It is a rectangular, stainless steel dress watch that operates on the company’s Eco-Drive solar technology rather than a standard disposable battery or a mechanical movement.

Design Details

The case is constructed from silver-tone stainless steel. It features a rectangular shape, measuring 36mm in length and 26.5mm in width. The dial is black and uses applied Roman numerals for the hour markers. The watch face is covered by sapphire crystal, a material standard in this price range because it provides higher scratch resistance and hardness compared to basic mineral glass or acrylic.

The watch comes with a matching silver-tone, seven-link stainless steel bracelet. It secures to the wrist using a fold-over clasp equipped with push buttons for release. The lug width, the space where the bracelet attaches to the watch case, measures 20mm.

Internally, the BJ6570-50E runs on Citizen’s E037 Eco-Drive movement. This is a solar-powered quartz system. It functions by utilizing a solar cell positioned beneath the dial. This cell absorbs both natural sunlight and artificial indoor light, converting that light into electrical energy.

The energy is then stored in a rechargeable power cell that drives the movement. Because the system continually recharges with ambient light exposure, the watch does not require the routine battery replacements associated with standard quartz watches.

For water resistance, the watch is rated at 50 meters, which is equivalent to 5 Bar or 166 feet. This rating makes the watch suitable for still water swimming. In practical terms, it can withstand rain, hand washing, and shallow submersion, but it lacks the necessary seals for high-pressure water activities, water sports, or diving.

Pricing and Availability

The Citizen Addysen (BJ6570-50E) is available now through Citizen’s US website and select retail locations for $450. The watch pictures in the listing also reveal additional colourways, which are expected to launch at a later date.

In related news, Citizen has recently introduced two new gold-tone Tsuyosa 60 automatic watches, alongside the limited-edition Tsuyosa Shore, which combines vintage diver-inspired styling with an automatic movement.

The post Citizen launches sleek rectangular watch with Eco-Drive solar tech and sapphire crystal appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen has released two new versions of its Tsuyosa 60 automatic watch in the US and UK markets. Both models are priced at $675 or £429 and feature a yellow gold-tone stainless steel finish. The primary difference between the two releases is the case size: one measures 37mm (model NK0032-56A) and the other measures 40mm (model NK0022-50A).

Design Details

The design of the Tsuyosa 60 centers around an integrated stainless steel bracelet, meaning the watch case and the band connect directly without traditional protruding lugs.

Both the 37mm and 40mm sizes include a textured dial, applied indices for the hour markers, and a date window located at the 3 o’clock position. The dial is covered by sapphire crystal, a material typical for watches in this price tier that provides standard scratch resistance. The bracelet fastens using a deployant clasp with push buttons.

Inside the case, both watches operate on Citizen’s caliber 8310 automatic movement. As a mechanical movement, it does not require a battery. It winds itself using an internal oscillating weight that rotates with the natural movement of the wearer’s arm.

The 60 in the product name refers to the watch’s 60-hour power reserve. In practical terms, a 60-hour reserve means a user can take the watch off on a Friday evening, and it will still be ticking on Monday morning, avoiding the need to manually rewind or reset the time after a weekend of not wearing it.

Citizen lists the water resistance for both models at 50 meters (5 Bar). The manufacturer says this is suitable for still water swimming. Generally, a 50-meter rating is adequate for everyday water exposure, such as washing hands or getting caught in the rain, but it is not intended for diving or high-impact water sports.

In related news, Citizen has recently unveiled the limited-edition Tsuyosa Shore, a vintage-inspired diver-style watch powered by an automatic movement.

The post Citizen launches two new Tsuyosa 60 automatic watches with a gold-tone finish appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen is adding a new limited-edition model to its Tsuyosa line of integrated-bracelet watches: the Tsuyosa Shore Timeslip (NJ0238-57E). It is scheduled to launch in the US in August 2026 for $462.5. In the UK, however, the watch has already been listed and is currently available to order for £349. Citizen says production will be capped at 12,000 pieces globally.

Design Details

The Tsuyosa line has traditionally been defined by its integrated bracelet design and minimalist, brightly colored dials. The Shore Timeslip pivots from this formula by incorporating standard dive-watch hardware.

The watch features a 40mm stainless steel case that measures 12.5mm thick. The most obvious change from the base Tsuyosa is the addition of a 120-click unidirectional bezel. Citizen paired this with a textured, gradient black dial alongside gold-tone indices and hands.

The dial is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal, which includes a magnifier over the three o’clock date window. For low-light visibility, standard luminous material is applied to both the hands and the hour markers. The case integrates directly into a three-link stainless steel bracelet equipped with a push-button fold-over clasp.

Inside, the watch runs on Citizen’s in-house Calibre 8210 automatic movement, which is visible through a transparent display case back. The 21-jewel movement operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour and holds a 42-hour power reserve.

It also includes a hacking seconds function, meaning the seconds hand stops when you pull the crown out, allowing for precise time setting. The stated accuracy is between -20 and +40 seconds per day. That will not compete with high-end chronometers, but it is entirely standard for mechanical movements in the sub-$500 category.

Despite the dive watch styling, the Shore Timeslip is rated for 100 meters of water resistance. That means it isn’t an ISO-certified professional diver, but it is more than capable of handling swimming, snorkeling, and everyday water exposure.

In related news, Casio has recently unveiled a striking gold-tone stainless steel watch paired with a green dial, while also introducing a limited-edition G-Shock inspired by Nintendo’s Mother 3.

The post Citizen launches limited-edition Tsuyosa Shore watch with vintage diver styling & automatic movement appeared first on Gizmochina.

Citizen UK has announced a new addition to its Marvel lineup ahead of the upcoming Spider-Man film. The AW1437-61W is a £349 watch that leans heavily into comic book aesthetics, pairing a dark, subdued case with a highly illustrated dial.

Design Details

The watch features a 43mm stainless steel case and a matching three-link bracelet. Both are treated with a matte black ion-plated finish, which gives the watch a muted, stealthy look. That dark frame is clearly designed to contrast with the busy silver-gray dial.

Instead of a subtle logo or a minimal color nod to the character, Citizen went with a very literal interpretation. The dial shows Spider-Man swinging over a stylized web, with a New York City skyline sitting at the bottom. It’s a dense design, layered with scattered web graphics to add some visual depth.

To keep the watch functionally readable amidst the artwork, Citizen included white sword-style hands, a black chapter ring with minute markers, and a standard date window at the 3 o’clock position.

The most interesting hardware detail is how the watch looks in the dark. Citizen applied a bright green luminous material to the hands, as you would expect, but also to Spider-Man’s eyes and several of the web elements. It’s a neat trick that gives the dial a completely different layout in the dark.

Inside, the watch runs on Citizen’s Eco-Drive technology. It’s a practical, light-powered quartz movement that charges via any natural or artificial light, meaning you won’t have to worry about replacing a battery every couple of years. The dial is covered by a mineral crystal.

While this is normal for licensed watches at this price point, it won’t offer the same scratch resistance as a sapphire crystal. It does, however, come with 100 meters of water resistance, so it will easily survive swimming, showering, or snorkeling.

Pricing and Availability

The watch is packaged as a box set and is currently listed on Citizen UK’s website as Coming Soon for £349.00. There is no firm release date yet.

In related news, Casio has recently launched the Pro Trek PRJ-01 watches with analog dials, solar charging, and a built-in carabiner clip.
