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 Skyhawk U830

The Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830 is praised for its updated 43mm titanium case, legible memory-in-pixel display, and cleaner, less cluttered design compared to previous versions. Reviewers highlight its versatile contemporary look and enhanced functionality from the caliber U830, while owners appreciate the MIP display and screw-down caseback. Some users find the interface clunky and the face busy, particularly noting the "calendar" label and the lack of radio or GPS time synchronization, with one owner finding the 45mm size and busy subdials less useful for non-pilots. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830 highly for its impressive technology and improved legibility in a contemporary package.

Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date for its value at the price point. One owner notes the watch is a great purchase with no regrets, and is unbothered by its lume. The Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date features a 41mm steel case and a Miyota 9015 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve. However, one owner received a non-working watch and reported difficulty obtaining a refund, citing horrible customer service. On balance, owners rate the Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date well for its value, though customer service experiences can vary.

From video reviewers

The Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date features a high-beat Miyota 9015 movement, which is a notable strength. A weakness of the watch is its relatively weak lume brightness. Reviewers disagree on whether the added features of the Ceramic model justify the extra cost, with one reviewer finding it worth the extra cost and another noting it's a trade-off for the No Date model.
