Citizen Tee Time MickeyvsVaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto

Owners widely praise the Citizen Tee Time Mickey for its detailed dial art, featuring luminous Mickey and stars, and note it appears better in person than in photos. One owner questions legibility between 2 and 11 due to the dial design and notes the crown is tedious to hand-wind, with a power reserve falling short of expectations. The watch is listed as 42mm with 3 ATM water resistance, though one owner measured it closer to 45.8mm. On balance, owners appreciate the Citizen Tee Time Mickey for its unique dial art and in-person appeal, despite some reservations about winding and legibility.

The Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto is widely praised for its 39mm case size and refined yet rugged case design, with owners noting it wears well and fits perfectly. Reviewers and owners alike highlight the colorful, multi-layer dial, with one specifically appreciating the matte green dial's accenting of other colors. The watch's American assembly is also a point of praise. One owner found the fit superior to a previous Seiko "Baby Hulk." A reviewer noted the bezel numerals lack lume, and the date wheel's three-orange-one-green pattern is described as peculiar. One owner also felt the minute markers seemed oddly placed. The Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto uses a Miyota 9015 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and offers 200m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Vaer D5 Pacific Anacapa Auto highly for its wearability and dial design at the price point.
