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 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.
The Vaer Dirty Dozen (40mm) is praised for its nice case design and thin profile, making it wear flat. On balance, owners rate the Vaer Dirty Dozen (40mm) highly for its comfortable wearability due to its thin case.
