What's the difference between the Tsuyosa Shore and the standard Tsuyosa?
Both use the same Calibre 8210 automatic movement, integrated bracelet design, and sapphire crystal. The Shore adds a 120-click unidirectional rotating bezel, upgrades water resistance from 50m to 100m, and includes an exhibition caseback. The standard Tsuyosa is a pure lifestyle watch; the Shore is a sport-lifestyle watch with functional dive-timing capability.
How does this compare to the Citizen Promaster?
The Promaster is a purpose-built dive watch with 200m water resistance, ISO dive certification, and a chunkier case. The Tsuyosa Shore sits between the Tsuyosa and the Promaster — more capable than the former, more wearable than the latter. If you want a daily watch that can handle water sports but still looks refined at dinner, the Shore is the sweet spot.
What does "automatic" mean?
An automatic watch is powered by the natural movement of your wrist. A small rotor inside the case winds the mainspring as you wear it, so no battery is needed. If left unworn for about two days, it will stop and need to be set again — simply wear it or give the crown a few manual winds to restart.
What is the hacking function?
When you pull the crown out to the time-setting position, the seconds hand stops completely. This lets you synchronise the watch to a reference clock down to the exact second. Push the crown back in and the seconds hand resumes. Not all automatic movements offer this — the Calibre 8210 does.
How long does the power reserve last?
Approximately 40 hours when fully wound. This means the watch will keep running for close to two days after you take it off. Regular daily wear keeps it continuously wound.
Can I swim with this watch?
Yes. With 100-metre water resistance and a unidirectional rotating bezel, the Tsuyosa Shore is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. It is not rated for scuba diving. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is submerged.
Is the bracelet adjustable?
Yes. The stainless steel bracelet can be resized by adding or removing links. City Chain offers complimentary bracelet sizing at any outlet.
Is this a good gift?
The Tsuyosa Shore is an excellent gift — it's an automatic watch with sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback, and a rotating bezel at an accessible price point. The navy blue dial is universally flattering and the integrated bracelet gives it an elevated look that photographs well. Strong choice for birthdays, Father's Day, graduations, and milestone celebrations.
What warranty does this watch come with?
The NJ0230-59L comes with Citizen's official 1-year international warranty when purchased from City Chain Singapore, an authorised Citizen retailer.
