Affordable Japanese watch Citizen NJ0100-46L
Watch Citizen NJ0100-46L
Friends, hello everyone. You are on the Feeltime channel, and Stanislav is with you as always.
Today we will talk about, at first glance, absolutely unremarkable Japanese Citizen in a very affordable price segment and in the popular "Turtle" case.
It would seem that the watch could not be simpler, but there was something in it that made me want to get acquainted with this model and show it to you. In general, let's look.
Watch design
As I said, the watch case has the iconic "turtle" or "barrel" shape as some call it.
The case itself is made of stainless steel and has a combination of satin finish and mirror polish.
Here I want to note the cool quality of the finish for its price and a competent combination. It is the transitions of mirror polishing on the side surfaces and on the welt that create a pleasant volume and expensive appearance of the watch.
To be honest, it’s hard to judge whether this watch costs $200 or is significantly more expensive. Especially if you do not know their characteristics.
The crown has a very comfortable shape. Here absolute minimalism without any engravings.
The same is true on the back of the watch. Minimalism, characteristic of the Japanese Citizen.
Strap quality
The watch strap is made of genuine leather, stitched with black thread. Of course, this is not expensive crocodile skin, but I will tell you that I have seen many times worse on more expensive watches.
Here, the leather is of pleasant quality, with convenient length fixators and, although a budget, but high-quality clasp, which does not cause the feeling that it can be broken by pressing on both sides.
In general, I’ll tell you that you can pick up good rubber, a NATO strap, and custom leather with which this watch will sparkle with completely new colors for such a cool case.
Watch sizes
Watch sizes. Diameter - 42 mm, from ear to ear - 46.5 mm, thickness - 12 mm, strap width at the case - 22 mm, weight - 82 grams. I took all measurements personally.
watch on hand
On my hand, 18 cm in girth, the watch sits perfectly. Well, since genuine leather is not my style, then of course I immediately begin to imagine how the watch would look on the same NATO strap. I think it's completely different.
watch face
The dial of the watch, although simple, looks very stylish and expensive. You can see the signature, striped texture in blue. The hands and hour markers are well polished and create a wonderful contrast with the blue color and, as a result, excellent legibility.
There is absolutely nothing superfluous here that could distract you from the main function of time. And this is good.
Characteristics
According to the characteristics, Japanese mechanics with their own caliber 8210 are declared on board.
The mechanism is quite simple. It has a 40-hour power reserve, an error per day + - 20 seconds, it has a manual winding and there is no STOP second.
This is a mechanical self-winding watch, the watch is wound by natural vibrations on your hand.
The watch has mineral glass. I don't see antiglare. And water resistance is up to 100 meters. You can swim, but without diving.

The price of this model in our store and in the network of our partners, the largest watch chain in Ukraine - Deka, is 7620 UAH.
Yes, the model will not offer you any top-end features, but here everything is fine without it.
When I say "All is well" I mean the cool quality of the case with a pleasant finish, an excellent and uncluttered dial, a nice genuine leather strap.
