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 Sikorsky

The Citizen Promaster Sikorsky is a large 46mm watch honoring the S-92 helicopter, featuring a busy dial with red, white, blue, and yellow accents, and helicopter blade-shaped hands. It houses a solar-powered U680 movement with atomic time syncing. On balance, owners find the Citizen Promaster Sikorsky to be a unique, albeit cluttered, limited edition timepiece.

Vaer C5 Recon Field Solar

Owners widely praise the Vaer C5 Recon Field Solar for its robust build, bright C3 SuperLuminova lume, and solar charging capabilities, with one owner preferring its greater water resistance. Some owners report issues with hand alignment and second hand accuracy, though Vaer's customer service is noted for responsiveness with exchanges or refunds. One owner mentioned spring bar holes being close to the edge, a point of QC discussion. On balance, owners appreciate the Vaer C5 Recon Field Solar for its solar charging and robust build, despite occasional reports of minor alignment issues.
