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).

Yema Skin Diver Slim CMM.20

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Yema Skin Diver Slim CMM.20 for its balanced 39mm case, vintage aesthetic, and unique champagne dial. The proprietary CMM.20 micro-rotor movement is a notable feature, though some owners report potential QC issues including erratic timegrapher readings and second-hand stutter. The lume is described as subdued, and while some find the "dragon scale" bracelet beautiful, others consider it generic. The price point is a hurdle for some, and the stamped clasp quality is considered subpar by one reviewer, with a gap noted by an owner. The lack of hacking seconds is flagged as a drawback at its price. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Yema Skin Diver Slim CMM.20 highly for its vintage charm and balanced wearability.
