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.

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.
