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.
One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.
The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
