Citizen Series 8 831

Owners widely praise the Citizen Series 8 831 for its impressive finishing and textured dials, with the blue dial and bracelet play of light specifically noted as luxurious and comfortable on the wrist. The watch utilizes the Miyota 9051 automatic movement, offers 100m water resistance, and features a 40mm case. Accuracy is reported between -10 to +20 seconds per day with a 42-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Series 8 831 highly for its luxurious feel and dial finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The case finishing, with its contrasting brushed and polished surfaces, is a notable strength. The 40mm case size and comfortable fit are also consistently mentioned. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.

Owners praise the Maen Manhattan 40's thin case and unique dial, with one owner finding the ice blue dial similar to other watches. Some owners suggest the 40mm size may be too large for smaller wrists, with a preference for the 39mm version. One owner notes issues with the crown snagging and winding action. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Maen Manhattan 40 appealing for its design and value.
