The integrated bracelet sports watch (IBSW) was born with the Genta designed Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and the Patek Philippe Nautilus and recently their popularity has reached new heights and it has reached new heights in terms of price.

Thankfully, over the past few years many more affordable versions have been coming out for us mere mortals who want to get the unique integrated bracelet sports watch experience without crippling debt. The Tissot PRX arguably set this affordable IBSW segment off when it was released and since then it has been the standard. Christopher Ward released their popular The Twelve and Citizen released the ever popular Tsuyosa.

But Citizen has just released what i think is the new standard bearer for the affordable integrated sports watch segment. The Titanium Zenshin / Forza (NJ0180-80 and the AW0130-85). When I saw that a more angular titanium version of the Tsuyosa was being released I knew I had to get one. In fact I got two.

So in this video I’m going to get into the details of these two new watches from Citizen and I’ll go over the differences as well to help you decide which one to get. I’ll also be showing these next to my Tissot PRX just so you can get a better sense of what each of these watches are like.


**********THE BLUE DIAL AUTOMATIC IS FOR SALE***********

I’m selling my blue dial auto because I don't need two of these watches! So the condition is of course basically brand new (just one of the tiniest dings ever seen is on the case). Box and papers are included. As far as I know these watches aren't being sold in the US so by buying it through me you won’t have to deal with the import hassles I went through.

If you’re interested, email me at thewatchidiot@gmail.com WITH YOUR SHIPPING ZIP CODE so I can get myself a quote. I'll pay for first $50 of shipping costs which basically means free shipping for the vast majority of people.
