I was actually between these two watches! So glad I stumbled into this video.

Same. The newer one is too big. 45mm is pushing it for wrists smaller than 7.5". If they offered it in 40-43mm I'd have gotten it. The older model is more appealing because its 43mm but wears more like 40-41mm

i like the 151, but the lug width is only 20. my other citizen has a 22 mm, and i'd like to be able to swap nato straps between them. Update: Finally got the BN0191, and it's not perfect, the seconds hand doesn't hit all the indices (around 50% only), but that's okay, it's a handsome watch, and for the price the value is still outstanding. I do wish Citizen kept the orange minute hand and made the hands a bit wider; it looks too plain tbh.

Thanks for the comparison, exactly what I needed to see with the 151 side by side. I have just started buying some citizens and acquired the 151 a few weeks ago. I am glad to see this 191 on the left is bigger because the 151 is just too small for me, just a matter of preference and habit but its 42.5 ish leaves a lot of wrist on either side and the dial looks a bit small for me, so I am selling it. I bought the newer and larger 46mm NH8381 at an incredible price and received it a couple of days ago and like it, although its not ISO, not 200m, not screw down for anyone who cares (i dont because i dont go below 10 feet pool depth). Its similar in some ways to the 151, but I find it more attractive. There is a shroud reference top and bottom which I like and the 151 for me has some flaws, but understandably, it is a much older design. In person, I find 151 looks a bit lightweight, but i recognize its functional. The screw down crown is lightweight and seems almost hollow, and the case and bezel's overall look to me is also plain and more along the lines the current edifices. The new model 191, is obviously an attempt at a "city" watch that is more refined, more jewelry, the hands like you point out. They are still using the tiny unusable date window, though, what a waste... Anyhow, I will probably end up getting this 191, although I fail to see why its list price is so high. Is the bracelet heavy? its too bad they dont sell the rubber version in blue, because I would chuck the metal bracelet most likely looks a bit dated.. Also the fact that I have to waste money on the flimsy plastic O2 bottle case and big box or plastic "dive" case makes it a bit gimmicky, but then again, its mass market. Another reviewer did a lume shot of the 191 and suggested like lume is off the charts. Certainly not the case with the 151. Comments? Can you add a lume compare shot at start and maybe a few hours later? He also put the 191 next to his blue planet ocean and the "similarities" were fairly striking, i guess omega's designs can certainly inspire,

4:52 is this really possible? I thought you weren't able to move the hour hand only with the older model. Can you please make a quick video as to how you do that? Other owners say that's not possible

Since these watches have got the same caliber E168, their functionality is identical. Moving hour hand independently is not possible.

I have 6.25inch wrists and was looking at a diver to add to my collection. I really love these 2 watches but I WISH they were 40-41mm. Why is there such a lack of divers in this size? If Citizen made them in a smaller size I would buy either in a heartbeat.

45 today is midsize +, and very far from ridiculous (2mm more on each side). I wouldnt get anything less than 44. 45-47 is the sweet spot for me now.

Does the 191 really not allow you to adjust the hour hand independently but the 151 does? They are the same movement right? I would think they would be the same.

nope. you can't adjust the hour hand independently. however, the seconds hand stops when you pull out the crown to adjust the time.
