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 compelling value proposition and modern Japanese design with a sporty edge. Reviewers note its 40mm steel case, glossy dial with applied markers, and the in-house Calibre 0950 automatic movement offering 50 hours of power reserve and enhanced magnetic resistance. The flat sapphire crystal is noted to collect fingerprints, and the solid caseback omits a view of the movement. The limited edition variant features a 40.8mm black DLC-coated case, a carbon fiber dial, and the 0950 movement regulated to -5/+10 seconds per day. Overall, the Citizen Series 8 870 is viewed as a strong offering for its blend of design and features.

Marathon Jeep Rubicon TSAR

Marathon Jeep Rubicon TSAR owners praise its toughness and 41mm size for a 7" wrist, noting the sapphire crystal remains nearly flawless after a decade of near-daily wear and abuse. Tritium lume is still acceptable in darkness, and the bezel, though missing its 0-mark triangle, remains tight and clicks solidly. The watch features a steel case water-resistant to 300 meters, a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement, and dual branding that de-emphasizes Marathon. Overall, owners rate the Marathon Jeep Rubicon TSAR highly for its exceptional durability and practical size.
