What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Garrison

Owners widely praise the Citizen Garrison for its excellent legibility, comfortable size for slender wrists, and impressive value at its price point. The brushed case finishing is noted as surprisingly well-done, and the green dial is a particular highlight for many. Accuracy is frequently lauded, with one owner calling it the most accurate quartz watch they've owned, and the solar battery is appreciated. However, some owners wish for a smaller case size, and opinions are split on the bracelet and strap, with some finding them comfortable and others suggesting upgrades. The day-date complication is also a point of discussion, with some preferring its integration and others desiring a cleaner dial. Overall, owners rate the Citizen Garrison highly for its legibility and value, making it a favored tool watch.

Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz

Owners widely praise the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz for its heritage reissue design, small and thin case, and good looks for the price, with some noting exceptional build quality, tactile pushers, and a substantial feel. However, the quartz movement's ticking smoothness and the 24-hour subdial, which functions as an AM/PM indicator rather than a totalizer, are points of criticism for some, leading to perceptions of it being overpriced. Owners report mixed experiences with quality control, with some noting alignment issues, crooked indices, and dial rotation when pushers are depressed, while others report no such issues. On balance, owners appreciate the Yema Rallygraf Meca-Quartz for its distinctive vintage styling and wearability, despite some concerns regarding quality control and the functionality of its subdial.
