What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks AB Clásico

The Astor + Banks Silver is praised for its nice finishing on the case and dial, with a nice texture on the dial. The watch's lug-to-lug fit is relatively slim, making it comfortable to wear. A weakness of the watch is its lume, which could be a bit brighter.

Citizen Series 8 880 GMT Gold-Tone

The gold-tone Citizen Series 8 880 GMT features a "Root Beer"-like color scheme with a gradient white-to-black dial and gold accents, inspired by the Tokyo skyline. Reviewers note its chunky, angular case silhouette with short lugs and a bracelet with two shades of ion-plated gold. The bidirectional bezel has a serrated edge and clicks hourly, featuring a blue and black 24-hour scale. It offers GMT functionality with an independently jumping local hour hand and 100 meters of water resistance, powered by the Citizen 9054 automatic GMT movement. Lume is described as good but not as intense as a dive watch. At its price point, the pin-and-collar bracelet system lacking micro-adjustments is flagged as a drawback. Overall, reviewers highlight the unique color scheme and GMT functionality as key features of the Citizen Series 8 880 GMT Gold-Tone.
