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.

Orient Bambino Solar Quartz

Owners widely praise the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz for its clean, balanced design and wearability, with one owner calling it the best version yet. The finishing is noted as nice, and the solar quartz movement is a desirable feature for some. However, the mineral crystal is a significant drawback, being prone to scratches and abrasions. The Orient Bambino Solar Quartz wears thinner due to its lighter movement and less robust construction. Overall, owners rate the Orient Bambino Solar Quartz highly for its design and wearability, with the solar quartz movement being a key draw.
