Citizen BF0582-51F Gold-Tone Watch vs Citizen Corso BI5010-59E

Both are basic Citizen quartz watches with stainless steel bracelets and black dials. The BF0582-51F is the gold-tone classic: 39.5mm case, date window, 30m water resistance, and a dressier look. The BI5010-59E Corso is slightly larger at 41mm, adds a scratch-resistant mineral crystal and 50m water resistance, and is listed with a chronograph. Buy the gold BF0582-51F for a traditional gold dress watch with a date. Buy the Corso for a sportier silver watch with more water resistance and a harder crystal. Owners of both rate them around 4.3 to 4.4, and the common complaint on the Corso is a bracelet that runs large.

• Choose the Citizen BF0582-51F if you want a gold-tone dress watch with a date window and a classic 39.5mm case.
• Choose the Citizen Corso BI5010-59E if you want a silver stainless watch with 50m water resistance, a scratch-resistant crystal and chronograph functions.
