What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen PCAT

The Citizen PCAT is praised for its polished and brushed stainless steel case, blue bezel insert, and tachymeter scale. Reviewers note its navy dial with polished silver elements and sub-dials that change functions by mode, along with radio-controlled timekeeping, a perpetual calendar, and 200 meters of water resistance. The redesigned bezel and sapphire crystal covering the tachymeter scale are considered attractive features. One owner notes the E650 movement supports five atomic time zones, fewer than some other models. Lug width is uncertain, with suggestions of 22mm or 24mm. Older PCAT models require changing the mode to "CHR" to operate the chronograph. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Citizen PCAT for its robust feature set and attractive, functional design.

Ferro PISTA

The Ferro PISTA is widely praised for its exciting and thrilling driving experience, with owners highlighting its faultless handling and a powerful engine that makes other cars feel primitive. Reviewers and owners alike appreciate its beautiful and effective design, noting features like the air pass-through on the hood as particularly attractive. Some owners find the Ferro PISTA's performance and aerodynamics desirable, while others note its tighter suspension and hard-shifting experience as a special, raw characteristic. On balance, owners rate the Ferro PISTA highly for its thrilling performance and striking design.
