Black Friday is still a couple of weeks away, but you'd be hard-pressed to tell at the moment. A wide array of retailers have gone early with their deals, allowing shoppers the chance to get in on the action ahead of time.

Just yesterday, I rounded up some of the best early deals for those seeking a watch under £500, and found a bounty of options out there. Now, I'll be adding another to that list, as Amazon has marked down the price of one of my favourite watches.

Citizen Tsuyosa
Citizen Tsuyosa: was £190.26 now £179 at Amazon

Snag a killer watch for under £180 right now.

The Citizen Tsuyosa is already widely regarded as one of the best budget picks out there for those seeking a quality mechanical watch. Now, you can snag one for even less – it's just £179 right now at Amazon.

That's a killer saving from the usual £300 retail price. For that money, you're getting a really capable watch, complete with an integrated bracelet design that is bang on trend right now.

This particular one sets itself apart somewhat, with a visual appearance more akin to a traditional three-link bracelet. It's often compared to the 'Presidential' bracelet found on the Rolex Day-Date.

That bracelet and the 40mm case are both crafted from stainless steel, with the crown at the four o'clock position offering a more symmetrical case design. This particular version sports the gorgeous yellow dial, which is perfect for adding a pop of colour to your wardrobe without going overboard.

That's only broken by a date window at the three o'clock position, while simple bar indices offer a neat and uncluttered dial elsewhere. Similar simplicity can be found in the three-hand stack, which are uncomplicated in their designs.

Frankly, this has always been a favourite of mine because it offers stupendous value-for-money. That was at the retail price – at this discounted rate, I simply can't think of anything else which comes close. Whether it's intended as a gift, a first watch for yourself or just another bargain addition to a burgeoning collection, this is one you shouldn't be missing.
