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.

Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3)

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) for its vibrant blue dial that exhibits depth and liveliness under varying light, its fun and creative design, and its value as a mechanical chronograph. The Seagull 1901 movement provides column-wheel chronograph functionality, with one owner reporting accuracy around +6 seconds per day and satisfying chronograph pusher feel. However, the watch is criticized for a highly reflective, overly domed crystal and weak lume. Some owners find the 13.6mm thickness to be substantial. On balance, owners rate the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) highly for its engaging dial and value proposition as a mechanical chronograph.
