Citizen Tsuyosa Automatic vs Seiko 5 Sports Green Dial Automatic

The Seiko 5 Sports is the tougher, more versatile watch: 100m water resistance, a rotating bezel, day/date, Lumibrite and a hacking, hand-windable 4R36 movement. The Citizen Tsuyosa is the dressier pick: a slimmer 40mm case, sapphire crystal and a cleaner dial that slides under a cuff. Owners of both praise the finishing for the money; the Seiko rates slightly higher with reviewers, while the Citizen's sapphire is the harder-wearing glass.

  • Choose the Citizen Tsuyosa if you want a slim, dressy automatic with sapphire crystal for office and evening wear.
  • Choose the Seiko 5 Sports if you want one watch for swimming, travel and weekends, with a bezel, day/date and lume.

Seiko 5 Sports Green Dial Automatic

  • 4.9 / 5249 ratings

Questions and answers

Which is better for swimming?
The Seiko 5 Sports. It is rated to 100m and has a screw-down case back. The Tsuyosa is rated to 50m, which covers splashes and hand washing only.
Which crystal lasts longer?
The Tsuyosa's sapphire is much harder and resists scratches far better than the Seiko's Hardlex mineral crystal. The Seiko can be polished or replaced if it does scratch.
Is the Seiko worth stepping up to over the Citizen?
If you want one watch for sport, travel and water, yes. The Seiko adds water resistance, lume, a bezel and a hacking movement. If you want a slim dress watch, the Citizen is the better fit.
Which wears smaller on the wrist?
The Citizen. Its 40mm case and roughly 11.5mm thickness sit lower and tuck under a cuff. The Seiko is 42.5mm wide and 13.4mm thick.
Do both have a green dial?
Yes. The Tsuyosa has a green dial with a date window. The Seiko 5 Sports pairs a green dial with a green rotating bezel and a day/date display.
Which keeps time better?
Both are entry-level automatics with similar accuracy for the class. The Seiko's 4R36 can be hand wound and hacks, which makes setting the time quicker.
