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 compelling value proposition and modern Japanese design with a sporty edge. Reviewers note its 40mm steel case, glossy dial with applied markers, and the in-house Calibre 0950 automatic movement offering 50 hours of power reserve and enhanced magnetic resistance. The flat sapphire crystal is noted to collect fingerprints, and the solid caseback omits a view of the movement. The limited edition variant features a 40.8mm black DLC-coated case, a carbon fiber dial, and the 0950 movement regulated to -5/+10 seconds per day. Overall, the Citizen Series 8 870 is viewed as a strong offering for its blend of design and features.

KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011

Owners widely praise the KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011 for its stunning dials, blued hands, and quality finishing, with many highlighting its great value and vintage-inspired aesthetic. The comfortable jubilee bracelet and excellent lume are frequently mentioned positives. One owner notes the watch is "pretty thick in regards to height," and another points out minor criticism regarding the handset finish and crown edges, with indices and handset sharing a similar color that can obscure visibility. The KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011 utilizes a Miyota 9039 movement, with reported accuracy ranging from -10 to +30 seconds per day. Overall, owners rate the KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011 highly for its attractive design and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The KUOE SOMBRERO 90-011's vintage-inspired dial and hands are a strong point, with reviewers noting their aesthetic appeal. The watch's design is also praised for its uniqueness, with one reviewer calling it "design perfection." However, the relatively short 40-hour power reserve of the MIYOTA Cal.9039 automatic movement is a notable weakness.
