What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Beaufort Pulsatimer

The Beaufort Pulsatimer is praised for its solid manual-wind Sellita SW510M BH b movement and remarkable value, with one reviewer noting a 63-hour power reserve. Its 39mm case features dynamic, layered finishes and piston-style pushers, blending vintage dressiness with a robust chronograph design. Some find the optional beads-of-rice bracelet too much for its aesthetic. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Beaufort Pulsatimer highly for its unique design and strong value proposition.

Citizen Nighthawk

Owners widely praise the Citizen Nighthawk for its value, intricate dial with applied indices and red accents, and strong wrist presence. The Eco-Drive B877 movement is noted for its accuracy, with one owner reporting zero deviation over five days, and its ability to track dual timezones with a GMT hand. The brushed case finish and solid, attractive bracelet are also frequently highlighted. However, the mineral crystal is a consistent drawback, with multiple sources noting its reflectivity and vulnerability to scratches, especially considering the watch's price point. Some owners find the dial difficult to read in low light, the internal bezel crown position awkward, and the watch heavy. Overall, owners rate the Citizen Nighthawk highly for its striking dial and accurate Eco-Drive movement, with the mineral crystal being the most frequently cited compromise.

From video reviewers

The solar-powered Eco-Drive chronograph movement is a functional highlight. Legibility in low light conditions is a drawback.
