What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Citizen Eco-Drive One

The Citizen Eco-Drive One is widely celebrated for its groundbreaking thinness, with multiple sources confirming a case thickness of 2.98mm, making it the world's thinnest light-powered watch. Owners and reviewers alike praise its "wow factor," describing it as "svelte" and "beautiful" with a titanium case and bracelet that feels exceptionally light on the wrist. The Eco-Drive quartz movement offers a power reserve of up to 100 days, and its miniaturization is considered impressive. However, the price is noted as a significant barrier for some, and one owner finds its aesthetic too plain or dated. Servicing is restricted to authorized centers due to proprietary construction. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Eco-Drive One highly for its extreme thinness and lightweight titanium construction.

Longines LA GRANDE CLASSIQUE DE LONGINES

LA GRANDE CLASSIQUE DE LONGINES is widely praised for its slim, elegant, and discreet design, making it a timeless dress watch suitable for all styles and occasions. Owners appreciate its comfort and lightness on the wrist, with 36mm and 38mm models noted as sleek and not chunky, fitting well on average wrists. The quartz version is recommended for daily wear due to its accuracy and grab-and-go convenience, while the automatic is seen as a finely finished dress piece. Some commenters advise against gold-plated versions due to potential wear issues, suggesting steel or solid gold instead. One owner reported frequent battery replacements on the quartz model, with batteries lasting only a few months. Overall, owners value LA GRANDE CLASSIQUE DE LONGINES for its thin profile and classic styling at a good price point, especially on the pre-owned market.
