What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Promaster Diver

Owners widely praise the Citizen Promaster Diver for its lightweight titanium construction, comfortable wear, and excellent specifications for its price, with one owner noting handsome dial construction from recycled materials and accuracy of +1 second in 7 days. Some owners find its brushed finish unremarkable, its bezel action mediocre, and its rotor loud, while one example showed a slightly misaligned bezel and chapter ring. On balance, owners rate the Citizen Promaster Diver highly for its lightweight titanium build and strong value proposition.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35A movement's accuracy and power reserve are discussed. The Miyota 82S5 gilt movement is also mentioned. The watch's value is questioned when compared to competitors like the Seiko 5.
