Choose the Citizen if you want a steel bracelet and day-date display; its $202.90 listing tested at $182.61 after code.

The Urban Date Aurora Green: A first-time automatic buyer who wants a green date dial, sapphire and a manufacturer-listed 72-hour reserve at an accessible tested price. Choose a smaller case if 41.5 mm feels broad, a bracelet if you do not want leather, or a higher water-rated model for regular swimming or water sports.
The NH8350-59L Automatic Blue Dial: A buyer who wants an accessible blue-dial automatic with day and date, a steel bracelet and a conventional 40 mm case. Choose another model if sapphire crystal, swimming-focused water resistance, a longer published reserve or clearly established manufacturer warranty coverage is essential.
The 41.5 mm case is not small, and BODERRY does not publish a lug-to-lug measurement for this reference. The supplied strap is leather and the water rating is 5 ATM / 50 m; the product page does not set out a specific swimming-use promise. Choose it for everyday wear and ask the brand about your intended water exposure.
Citizen’s manufacturer listing specifies crystal glass and 5 bar water resistance. That is a practical everyday rating, but we would not choose this reference for diving or regular water sports. Watches of America lists a one-year retailer warranty and a 30-day return window with conditions and a possible restocking fee; confirm any manufacturer warranty coverage for this retailer purchase before checkout.
