Reviews

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 wear, and overall value, particularly its solar-powered movement and durable construction. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its tool-like nature and suitability as a versatile daily watch, with many appreciating the clean dial and good lume. Some owners find the original strap unappealing and the day-date window small, while others note the faux aged markers can be divisive. The 37mm case size is considered ideal for hiking by some, though one owner's wife felt it looked too small on a 6.5-inch wrist. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Garrison highly for its practical features and strong value proposition.

From video reviewers

The Eco-Drive solar movement is a consistent strength. The mineral crystal is a shared weakness, noted as prone to scratches. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's suitability for cold weather due to charging issues.

Ratio Quest (Lewis and Clark Edition)

Ratio Quest (Lewis and Clark Edition) owners praise its sapphire crystal, good lume on the hands, and the detailed engraving on the caseback, including the "Pi" logo on the second hand. The watch features a quartz movement and 100m water resistance. Some owners consider its Singaporean origin a downside post-purchase, while others highlight its value at £41 with accurate timekeeping from the quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Ratio Quest (Lewis and Clark Edition) highly for its surprising lume and detailed caseback engraving at its price point.
