Citizen Promaster Tsuno Chrono RacervsYema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II

The Citizen Promaster Tsuno Chrono Racer is praised for its motorsport-inspired dial and modern Eco-Drive technology. It features a light-powered Caliber E210 meca-quartz flyback chronograph movement with an eight-month power reserve and accuracy of +/-15 seconds per month. The watch is sized at 43.3mm by 14.85mm or 45mm by 15.3mm, depending on the specific reference, and offers 200 meters of water resistance. On balance, reviewers highlight the Citizen Promaster Tsuno Chrono Racer as a compelling blend of retro styling and modern functionality at its $1,195 price point.

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II for its cool retro 70s vibe, faithful reissue of a thin vintage design, and excellent build quality for its price, with particular commendation for its tactile pushers and top-notch Milanese strap. The watch is noted for its substantial, weighty feel and well-aligned indices, and the Seiko VK64 meca-quartz movement provides a sweeping chronograph hand. However, some owners find the meca-quartz ticking not very smooth, the left subdial a "useless" 24h indicator, and the watch overpriced compared to similar models. Several owners report disappointing alignment issues with indices, and one owner experienced the dial rotating slightly when chronograph pushers are depressed or when adjusting the time, with these issues not resolved during service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz II highly for its retro styling and perceived value, despite some recurring quality control concerns.
