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.

Tissot T-Complication Squelette

Owners widely praise the Tissot T-Complication Squelette for its mesmerizing mechanical movement and industrial look, with many finding it offers great value. The pallet fork ticking is frequently noted as loud, a characteristic some owners appreciate while others find it noticeable in quiet environments. Some users flag the non-hacking seconds hand as a drawback for precise time setting, and opinions on its size are mixed, with some finding it too large for thin wrists. Overall, owners rate the Tissot T-Complication Squelette highly for its quality craftsmanship and the captivating skeletonized movement at its price point.
