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.

Vario NAVI RedBar SG (Limited Edition)

Owners widely praise the Vario NAVI RedBar SG (Limited Edition) for its unique single-hand time display, captivating dial featuring a wave pattern and red tiger eye stone with subtle striations, and Art Deco numerals. The 38mm stainless steel case, double-domed sapphire crystal, and German leather strap contribute to a comfortable and elegant build, with the watch weighing 74g. Some users find the varied font sizes on the dial distracting, while others appreciate the cool style and dial colors. One owner suggests reworking the sub-dial's seconds hand and track for a less sporty look, and another felt the English text and font balance were not ideal. Overall, owners rate the Vario NAVI RedBar SG (Limited Edition) highly for its unique dial and comfortable wear at an affordable price.
