    It was about time you talked about Citizen! It clearly doesn't get enough appreciation by watch people.

    I never tire of watching a high end Citizen second hand hitting every single mark like a laser beam.

    Citizen has been slapping Seiko around over the last five years. They are phenomenal.

    I am Japanese. Thank you for visiting Japan and for creating such a wonderful video. <br>It was a fantastic video that truly showed your love for Citizen.

    Citizen and Seiko are really the only sources of true innovation in modern watchmaking. It&apos;s nice to finally see Citizen taken seriously here but I wish it didn&apos;t take a sponsorship to get them on this channel&apos;s radar.

    I still have my 2002 Blue Angels EcoDrive... Never serviced. Never opened. Every function you could want, and still running fine 24yrs later... Just incredible

    As a watch fan I’ve always been amazed with the EcoDrive movement. It’s one of watchmaking’s wonders. Certainly Citizen deserves more attention and recognition for their contribution to the watch world. Great video Adrian, thanks!

    Alongside the standard Swiss, German, and Japanese mechanical watches, the Citizen Eco-drive by Citizen has long held a point of pride in my collection. The mechanism and the Washi paper make this a phenomenal watch. Flies well under the radar. Your enthusiasm is totally justified. Thanks!

    My first real watch was a citizen eco-drive dress watch that my parents bought me for my high school prom. 12 years later, it’s still going strong and keeping great time! Exceptional technology

    Citizen&apos;s commitment to engineering and refinement of their technology is truly fabulous. No trend or hype chasing, just continued work in their particular niche. Really respect that level of focus.
