Citizen Series 8 890 City LightsvsSternglas Naos Automatik

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.

The Sternglas Naos Automatik is praised for its stylish Bauhaus design and solid build quality for its price, featuring a sapphire crystal and elegant case. However, some dial text is too small and slim for easy readability, and the Milanese strap and clasp are considered lower quality, with the quick-change system also not meeting the brand's advertised standard. One owner found the 38mm model lighter than expected and preferred it over a Seiko SRP703 and an Apple Watch. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Sternglas Naos Automatik's attractive Bauhaus design and good value, despite some criticisms of dial legibility and strap quality.
