Pairing classic proportions and innovative technology with a distinctly modern style, we present our new Integrated Super Titanium™ Automatic series. Made with our proprietary material, Super Titanium™, which is five times harder and 40% lighter than stainless steel and is scratch- and rust-resistant, this sporty timepiece features a 40.5mm silver-tone Super Titanium™ case that is elevated with finely brushed and polished finishing while being secured to the wrist with an integrated matching bracelet. On the dial, a textured white color is accented with an outer minute ring in black, with silver-tone details and luminous hands and markers. A date window at the 3 o'clock position adds daily utility, while an off-center sub-dial beside it indicates the running time powered by the mechanical movement inside. Water resistant to 100 meters. Automatic caliber 8213.

Nice looking watch. The dial is beautiful and the titanium bracelet and case is nicely finished. The price is also excellent for a titanium automatic watch. Its downfall is that the movement is not very accurate. If you are okay with having to adjust the time every few days, it is a fine choice. When I set a watch, I do it to the second. Most watches I own, even ones that cost a lot less than this run only a few seconds a day + or -. This watch unfortunately runs about 16 seconds a day fast, not horrible but it shows a lack of care from the factory. It is within spec but I'm sure it could be adjusted better if someone took the time to do it. If a hundred-dollar watch can run at a couple of seconds a day off, there is no reason this can't either. It's not worth the cost of having a watchmaker adjust it, it is just disappointing that Citizen doesn't make the effort. It could be a truly great 5 star product with a little more fine tuning.

I bought it from a different retailer; it's about 40% lighter in weight and looks more like a $2k-3k watch. You can wear it daily or dress it up. The Band pin should change to a more stable one

I've worn this watch for almost a week and have worn it on a daily basis. Love the fact that it's made mostly from titanium so it's super light you wouldn't feel like it's there at times. In addition, titanium is more durable (so far) plus the fact that it's sapphire crystal, *chef's kiss. Worth every penny in my humble opinion.

An absolutely beautiful watch. Had it sized using the sizing guide and came out perfect! Had it for about a week and so far its pretty accurate. Pretty quiet compared to other mechanical watches of the same tier but what is a major plus is how thin it is compared to other mechanical brands. The pictures on site does not do it justice! It definitely looks better in person. It has a nice titanium hue that sets it apart from stainless steel and is very light on wrist. I barely know its there until I almost hit on something! The dial texture has a soft wrinkled tissue wrapping paper that gives it a very premium aesthetic. Wasn't too fond of the seconds being offset but have grown to like it. After having it awhile it actually looks quite balanced in design. As for the bareclet... DOES NOT snag on hair which is common for me with other watches with a bracelet. While the whole watch isn't polished, the subtly polished bezel is enough to make it POP! Love that it comes with a sapphire crystal which is very clear with no glare that I've noticed so far. A MUST HAVE in your collection!

I was thrilled when I saw it on u-tube! Watched a few reviews and have been elated ever since my purchase. Looks very nice on the (my) wrist , dresses up or down. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

The Zenshin Mechanical Super Titanium NJ0180-80A is even more stunning than in pictures. The finish and workmanship are superb.

My husband loves it! Lightweight very stylish. Didn’t get a warranty or an instructions book. That’s the only bad thing.
