What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830

The Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830 is praised for its updated 43mm titanium case, legible memory-in-pixel display, and cleaner, less cluttered design compared to previous versions. Reviewers highlight its versatile contemporary look and enhanced functionality from the caliber U830, while owners appreciate the MIP display and screw-down caseback. Some users find the interface clunky and the face busy, particularly noting the "calendar" label and the lack of radio or GPS time synchronization, with one owner finding the 45mm size and busy subdials less useful for non-pilots. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Promaster Skyhawk U830 highly for its impressive technology and improved legibility in a contemporary package.

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.
