Citizen Eco-Drive OnevsSpinnaker Dumas GMT

The Citizen Eco-Drive One is widely celebrated for its groundbreaking thinness, with multiple sources confirming its status as the world's thinnest light-powered watch, measuring between 2.98mm and 3.5mm. Owners and reviewers alike praise its exceptional lightness, titanium construction, and good build quality that avoids feeling flimsy, noting its "wow factor" and superb finishing. The watch features a proprietary, ultra-thin Eco-Drive quartz movement and a synthetic sapphire dial, with some models offering up to 12 months of power reserve. However, its high price, ranging from $3,500 to $5,000, is a significant drawback for some, and its aesthetic is considered too plain or dated by a minority who prefer other Citizen models. The Citizen Eco-Drive One is also noted for lacking a seconds hand and having only splash-resistant water protection.

Owners praise the Spinnaker Dumas GMT's satisfying lume, including on the crown, and good finishing, with one owner finding it wears well on a 17cm wrist. The watch features a Seiko NH34A GMT movement and a blue gradient dial. Reviewers note its 44mm diameter and 209g weight on the bracelet make it unsuitable for smaller wrists.
