For jeans, workouts and the commute: Citizen Sporty watches are the brand's affordable everyday line, mainly with men's models. Most have an Eco-Drive movement and the rest are battery-powered quartz. We are an official Citizen dealer, we deliver to your door with the manufacturer warranty, and our own service replaces the battery in the quartz models.
What watches are in the Citizen Sporty line?
A larger, easy-to-read dial, a sturdier case, often a silicone or metal strap, but neither a diver's watch nor a chronograph. Despite the name, half of the models are more sporty-elegant, so they do not look out of place with a shirt. They are for people who want one watch for everything at a friendly price. We often recommend them for students, a first job or a graduation gift.
Which Sporty watch should you choose?
- If it will go in the water: choose from the 10 ATM models, which you can swim with.
- If you want the least hassle: Eco-Drive, with no battery to run down.
- If the best price matters most: the quartz models are at the bottom of the range.
When is a Promaster the better buy?
If you dive regularly or need a rotating bezel, the Sporty will not be enough. In that case the Promaster Marine is the way to go, and for a stopwatch, the chronographs. You can reach both on the Citizen watches page.
When buying online, check the case diameter and water resistance on the product page: these two figures decide whether a model is right for you.
Citizen Sporty watches: frequently asked questions
Can I swim with a Citizen Sporty?
With the 10 ATM Citizen Sporty models, yes, and most of the series is like that. With the 3-5 ATM ones, only hand washing and rain.
Is there a women's Citizen Sporty?
Yes, but the women's Sporty selection is narrow, and most of the series has men's-size cases.
What determines the price of a Citizen Sporty?
The movement: Eco-Drive versions cost more than quartz models. The whole series belongs to Citizen's entry level, with good value for money.
