What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Garrison

The Citizen Garrison is widely praised for its excellent legibility, comfortable wear, and value, with owners frequently highlighting its clean dial, good lume, and solar-powered accuracy. Some appreciate its tool-like nature and versatility as a daily watch, noting the surprisingly good build quality and strap quality for its price. Specific features like the green dial, titanium case, and the day/date complication are also frequently cited as positives. However, the day-date window is considered small by some, and the faux aged markers are a potentially divisive aesthetic choice. Opinions on size vary, with some finding the 37mm or 38mm versions ideal for hiking or smaller wrists, while others feel they look too small. On balance, owners rate the Citizen Garrison highly for its legibility and value as an inexpensive field watch.

Straton Curve Chrono MKII

The watch offers a retro motorsport aesthetic with a quality finish and well-chosen movements at an affordable price. Reviewers did not agree on any specific weaknesses.
