What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Series 8 870

The Citizen Series 8 870 is praised for its sharp 40mm steel case with unique bezel construction and a glossy dial featuring finely brushed and polished applied hour markers. It is powered by the in-house caliber 0950 automatic movement, which operates at 4Hz and offers a 50-hour power reserve with enhanced magnetic resistance. The limited edition features a black Duratect DLC coated case, a carbon fiber dial, and is regulated to -5/+10 seconds per day. On balance, reviewers highlight the Series 8 870's distinctive case finishing and the robust in-house movement as key strengths.

Spinnaker Tesei Mille Metri GMT

The Spinnaker Fleuss Midnight Black features a reliable and accurate Japanese TMI NH35 Automatic Movement with 3 Hands and Date. A potential drawback is the watch's relatively low 15 ATM water-resistance rating compared to other watches in its class. Reviewers disagree on the watch's suitability for larger wrists, with one reviewer noting a 43mm diameter and 51mm lug-to-lug fit, while the other mentions a 51mm lug-to-lug measurement.
