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 8 890 City Lights

The Citizen Series 8 890 City Lights features a geometric dial inspired by skyscraper shadows, with the silver model noted for its versatility. The watch is housed in a 40.1mm octagonal case with brushed and polished finishes, and uses the Miyota 9051 movement with a 42-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers highlight the unique dial design as a key appeal of the Citizen Series 8 890 City Lights.

Lorier Roosevelt

Owners widely praise the Lorier Roosevelt's stunning dial, precise stamping, and clean printing, with its brass case and Horween strap also receiving positive remarks. Some owners find it wears perfectly on a 7" wrist. However, the Miyota 9-series rotor is noted as being "insanely loud," and the original $800 price point is considered steep by some, particularly given the lack of lume and competition. One owner sold it for $525, highlighting it as a great deal on a sold-out item. Overall, owners value the Lorier Roosevelt for its attractive dial and case finishing, though price and rotor noise are points of contention.
