1. The dial coating of genuine Citizen watches is bright and clear, the time scale and Citizen logo font are fine, and the scale edges are also very regular. However, the color of the fake decorative coating is dim (the red part is obvious), and the font of the 12 dot and the citizen logo is rough, which is different from the real one.

2. Genuine Citizen (film uncovered) is laser carved, and the engraving depth of the same font such as logo and number is the same. The serial number of genuine licensed products "Watch Model+Factory Number" is unique, which is consistent with the barcode label of the single product affixed on the warranty card. Fake watches often have different lettering depths or widths, and inferior imitations and even lettering will be blurred. Moreover, there are only a few fake serial numbers, most of which are the same.

3. The outer frame of the real citizen movement (known as the fixed ring in the industry) is obviously different. The shape and color of fake fixing rings are different from those of genuine ones, especially the fixing rings are poorly made and have great burrs.

4. The bracelet and clasp of genuine Citizen watches are very delicate, and there will be no obvious grinding marks. Each connecting block of the metal bracelet is full and natural. And those watches that can clearly see the traces of bracelet processing must be fake Citizen watches. Although some fake watchbands with butterfly buckles are fine in workmanship, there are still cases where the corners at the joints are not polished carefully. As long as you observe carefully, you can find flaws.

The pointer of Japanese watch is characterized by bright electroplating. The shape and length of the pointer should be consistent with the dial, and the color of the bright spot at night should be consistent with the dial. It also includes the LOGO of Citizen trademark, which should be bright and regular, without skew and burr. Fake watches are often not good at this point.
