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

The Citizen Series 8 890 is praised for its robust build, 200 meters of water resistance without a screw-down crown, and excellent case finishing for its price. Reviewers note the smooth action of its internal bezel, though one suggests the knurling could be more pronounced for better grip. It utilizes the caliber 9051 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, which often performs better than Citizen's stated -10/+20 seconds per day. The watch's design is noted as borrowing from popular luxury sports watches, and its lug-to-lug measurement can make it wear large. Overall, reviewers find the Citizen Series 8 890 a compelling and robust sports watch, particularly for its finishing and water resistance capabilities.

From video reviewers

Advanced finishing techniques on the 42.6mm octagonal silver-tone stainless steel case showcase durability and elegance. The watch's textured blue dial may not appeal to everyone's taste. Reviewers disagree on whether the Citizen Series 8 890's movement (Caliber 9051) is a strong point due to differing comparisons (Grand Seiko vs. AP Royal Oak).

Glycine Combat 6 Vintage

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat 6 Vintage for its legibility, simple design, and versatile dial. The case finishing is noted as a strong point, with a mix of matte and polished surfaces. It is considered a great value, with one owner reporting accuracy of +5 seconds per day. The watch is described as very wearable at 43mm due to its slim 10.7mm thickness and short lugs. Criticisms include average lume that fades quickly and a mediocre stock strap. Some owners desire a beefier case to better balance the dial. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Combat 6 Vintage highly for its excellent value and wearable dimensions.
