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.

From video reviewers

The watch features a sapphire crystal and a perpetual calendar. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.

Straton Daily Driver

Owners widely praise the Straton Daily Driver for its precise "double panda chrono" aesthetic, featuring a white dial, thin black bezel, and stick indices, with one owner highlighting the AR-coated sapphire crystal and reliable Miyota 6S21 quartz movement. The build quality is described as top-notch, and the watch is sought after for its utility and car-themed design. On balance, owners rate the Straton Daily Driver highly for its distinctive aesthetic and quality construction at its price point.
