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

The Citizen PCAT is praised for its polished and brushed stainless steel case, blue bezel insert, and tachymeter scale. Reviewers note its navy dial with polished silver elements and sub-dials that change functions by mode, along with radio-controlled timekeeping, a perpetual calendar, and 200 meters of water resistance. The redesigned bezel and sapphire crystal covering the tachymeter scale are considered attractive features. One owner notes the E650 movement supports five atomic time zones, fewer than some other models. Lug width is uncertain, with suggestions of 22mm or 24mm. Older PCAT models require changing the mode to "CHR" to operate the chronograph. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Citizen PCAT for its robust feature set and attractive, functional design.

Straton Daily Driver MKII

Owners praise the Straton Daily Driver MKII for its AR-coated sapphire crystal and reliable Miyota 6S21 quartz movement at its price, with the comfortable Barton band fitting well for daily wear. The watch features a clean white dial with double panda chronograph subdials, stick indices, and a thin black bezel that owners find visually appealing. One caveat is availability — the watch is difficult to find for sale. Overall, the consensus is that the Straton Daily Driver MKII offers strong value through its sapphire crystal and quartz reliability, marred primarily by scarcity in the market.
