Reviews

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

Citizen Suratto

The Citizen Suratto is widely praised for its exceptionally thin case, with multiple sources noting its thickness around 4.5mm to 4.7mm, making it a standout for wearability and fitting the integrated bracelet trend. Owners also highlight its great value, with prices reported under $300, and appreciate its solar-powered quartz movement and attractive, textured dials that some compare favorably to more expensive brands. One owner notes the taupe strap on their model washed out their skin tone and plans to replace it, while another reviewer mentions the watch lacks lume. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Suratto highly for its remarkable thinness and excellent value.

Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Auto

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Auto is widely praised for its gorgeous, stunning, and captivating dials, particularly the champagne and burgundy variants, and its thin, comfortable, vintage-inspired design that fits well under shirt cuffs. Owners appreciate its clean, simple aesthetic, often noting the beauty of its applied indices and dauphine hands, and the slim profile afforded by its movement. Some users find the absence of a second hand liberating for quick setting and avoiding accuracy checks. However, opinions are mixed on its thinness, with some finding it too thin for their preference. The ETA 2892-A2 movement's rotor noise is noted by several owners as audible due to the thin case, and the winding feel is described by one owner as unrefined. The small crown is also flagged as difficult to manipulate, and the OEM strap is disliked by one owner. One source mentions the polished case may show light swirlies.

From video reviewers

The slim case profile and affordable price point are consistently praised. Reviewers noted the absence of a second hand.
