What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Series 8 870

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.

Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM

The Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM is praised for its handsome, retro design and attractive, clean dials with great hands. Owners note the case is nicely shaped and offers good value at $650 USD. However, some find the lugs extend far on smaller wrists, and the corporate Jeep logo detracts from the dial's appeal for some. The leather strap may need replacement with regular wear. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM highly for its retro design and value, despite some reservations about the Jeep branding and strap.
