Citizen BrycenvsThorn 1950s Tribute Collection

Citizen Brycen owners praise its retro racing chronograph aesthetic, noting oversized pushers and a detailed crown. The Eco-Drive movement provides excellent accuracy, with less than 1 second deviation per day. The watch features a barrel-shaped Super Titanium case with polished bevels and brushed surfaces, and a vertically oriented two-register chronograph dial. Some owners report the included mesh bracelet pulled hairs, necessitating a strap change, and the date window's color contrast makes it difficult to read. Overall, owners rate the Citizen Brycen highly for its excellent accuracy and retro racing chronograph aesthetic at the price.

Owners widely praise the Thorn 38mm Automatic Watch 1950s Tribute Collection T026 for its compact 38mm size and domed sapphire crystal. The bracelet is considered good for the price, with one owner stating it is even better than a Sub's. However, the bezel insert is not aligned properly, and some suggest dressier alternatives for formal occasions. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Thorn 38mm Automatic Watch 1950s Tribute Collection T026 well for its retro design and wearability at its price point, despite minor alignment issues.
