Citizen Series 8 890vsGlycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0545

The Citizen Series 8 890 is praised for its excellent case finishing relative to its price, a smooth internal bezel action, and 200 meters of water resistance achieved without a screw-down crown. It features a textured blue dial with a checkered pattern and uses the Miyota 9051 automatic movement, which reviewers note often performs better than its stated -10/+20 seconds per day accuracy. Some find its design heavily influenced by popular luxury sports watches, and its lug-to-lug measurement can make it wear large. One reviewer suggested the internal bezel's knurling could be more pronounced for improved grip. On balance, reviewers find the Citizen Series 8 890 a compelling and robust sports watch, particularly for its finishing and water resistance at its price point.

The Glycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0545 is praised for its solid construction and comfortable wearability, with owners highlighting its slim 10.4mm thickness and inward-curving lugs, which contribute to good wearability even on smaller wrists. The bronze case is noted for its appearance, though one owner observed less patination than expected despite ocean exposure, while also finding the 42mm case size large. The lume is reported to last longer than a Seiko SKX007, though its visibility after 15 minutes is less pronounced, and one owner noted slightly underapplied lume at the 6 o'clock position. The watch is available at prices ranging from $300 to over $1000. Overall, owners rate the Glycine Men's Combat Sub Bronze 42mm Automatic Watch GL0545 highly for its comfortable wearability and solid construction at a good price point.
