Citizen CorsovsTissot Savonnette

Citizen Corso owners widely praise its value, with many noting its accurate Eco-Drive movement keeping time within a few seconds per month. The sunburst silver dial and elegant blue dial options are frequently highlighted for their attractive, light-catching qualities suitable for various occasions. The stainless steel case is considered durable, and the metal bracelet's links are described as substantial. Some models feature day and date complications. However, reviewers note the polished steel case can be overly shiny and a fingerprint magnet, and the original leather bands have an unpleasant lining. One owner questions the 40mm dial size for smaller wrists, and the bracelet has a stamped clasp without micro-adjustments, though it includes two half links. Overall, owners rate the Citizen Corso highly for its impressive value and classic dial aesthetics at its price point.

Owners describe the Tissot Savonnette mechanical as a beautiful timepiece suitable for generations and note receiving a good deal on it. One owner confirmed the polished case back is suitable for engraving. On balance, owners view the Tissot Savonnette as a beautiful and generational timepiece with a customizable case back.
