What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Ikepod Seaslug

Owners note the Ikepod Seaslug's proprietary lugless straps are limited to black, green, and orange silicone, with metal bracelets being rare and expensive. One enthusiast suggests a reissue should increase water resistance to at least 200M for improved dive functionality. On balance, owners find the Ikepod Seaslug's strap options and water resistance to be areas for potential improvement.

Citizen Series 8 831

Owners widely praise the Citizen Series 8 831 for its finishing, with one owner noting it exceeded expectations. Reviewers highlight the textured Ice Blue dial and the bracelet's play of light, contributing to a comfortable and luxurious feel on the wrist. The watch features a 40mm ion-plated stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, and 100 meters of water resistance. It is powered by the in-house Miyota Caliber 9051 automatic movement, which has a 42-hour power reserve and an accuracy range of -10 to +20 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Series 8 831 highly for its impressive finishing and dial design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The case finishing, with its contrasting brushed and polished surfaces, is a notable strength. The 40mm case size and comfortable fit are also consistently mentioned. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
