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).

Seiko Prospex Sea Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition

The Prospex Sea Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition features a 40mm case, 300m water resistance, and a 72-hour power reserve from the Calibre 6R55 movement, distinguished by a grey bezel insert and a wave-patterned silvery-white dial. The clasp includes an improved diving suit extension. Owners note the MarineMaster case is comfortable and wearable. However, some owners criticize the 6R54 movement's accuracy, reporting deviations of +25/-15 seconds per day, and find the production number too large for a "limited" edition, deeming it too expensive. On balance, owners rate the Prospex Sea Seiko Diver’s Watch 60th Anniversary Limited Edition positively for its comfortable case and attractive dial, despite concerns regarding its price and movement accuracy.
