Which is better for swimming?

The Citizen Quartz Watch (B). It is rated 50 m / 5 bar, which covers still-water swimming. No water resistance figure is given for the two-tone day/date model, so do not swim in it.

Which has more features?

B. It adds a 1-second chronograph good for up to 12 hours, a date window, and a stated 15 seconds a month accuracy. A adds a day window but no chronograph.

Which suits a smaller wrist?

B, at a stated 38 mm case and 93 g. A's case size is not stated, so try it on or check the case diameter before ordering.

Is B worth the extra money?

A has no listed price, so a direct gap cannot be stated. B is $109.00 at Walmart as of November 3, 2026, and that buys water resistance, a chronograph and a published accuracy spec.

Neither listing gives a service life. B publishes more durability detail: stainless steel case, mineral crystal and 50 m water resistance. Both use quartz movements that typically need a battery change every few years.

Which looks dressier?

A. The two-tone case and bracelet with a black dial read dressier. B's all-black ion-plated finish is sportier.

Citizen Men's Quartz Day/Date Watch - Black Dial - Two-Tone Case and Bracelet vs Citizen Quartz Watch

Both are inexpensive Citizen quartz watches with black dials, but they are different watches. The Citizen Quartz Watch (B) is the better documented pick: 38 mm steel case, 50 m water resistance, chronograph, and stated accuracy of 15 seconds a month, at $109.00 at Walmart as of November 3, 2026. The two-tone day/date model (A) is the one to buy if you want a dressier look and a day-of-week display. B's rating is slightly higher (4.4 from 12 ratings vs 4.3 from 23), but both samples are small.
