What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen PCAT

Owners widely praise the Citizen PCAT for its exceptional value, noting its perpetual calendar and 200m water resistance as standout features. Reviewers highlight its refined appearance and advanced Eco-Drive, radio-controlled timekeeping, and perpetual calendar functionality. Some owners find the dial information-heavy and legibility challenging on certain sub-dials, while one user points out the E650 movement's limitation to five atomic time zones. Lug widths vary, with some titanium models featuring 24mm. Overall, owners rate the Citizen PCAT highly for its impressive specifications and value proposition.

CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special

Owners widely praise the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special for its rugged build and military heritage, with some finding its quality comparable to higher-end watches. A reviewer notes the 41mm PVD-coated watch features a bright SuperLuminova dial. One owner reports a bit of play in the 60-click bezel, present from new, alongside minor wear on the PVD coating and bezel insert. On balance, owners rate the CWC SBS 1987 Aged Special highly for its rugged build and military heritage, despite some questioning its value at £700.
