Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
The Citizen Series 8 870 is praised for its sharp 40mm steel case with unique bezel construction and a glossy dial featuring finely brushed and polished applied hour markers. It is powered by the in-house caliber 0950 automatic movement, which operates at 4Hz and offers a 50-hour power reserve with enhanced magnetic resistance. The limited edition features a black Duratect DLC coated case, a carbon fiber dial, and is regulated to -5/+10 seconds per day. On balance, reviewers highlight the Series 8 870's distinctive case finishing and the robust in-house movement as key strengths.
Owners widely praise the Lorier Hyperion SII for its vintage aesthetic, glossy black dial, and tasteful text. One owner notes the Miyota 9075 movement and calls it the best GMT under $800. Criticisms include a small GMT hand that is difficult to spot, and one user found the winding action not smooth with significant crown resistance. Overall, owners rate the Lorier Hyperion SII highly for its vintage aesthetic and value.
