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.

Spinnaker Bradner GMT

The Spinnaker Bradner GMT is praised for its awesome lume and comfortable wearability, with one owner noting the rubber strap is very comfortable and the beads of rice bracelet fits well on smaller wrists. Some find its 15mm thickness and bold colorway may not appeal to everyone, and one owner views it as more of a casual GMT with tool-watch styling than a diver. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Bradner GMT highly for its value and comfortable wearability.
