Citizen Series 8 890vsMarathon Jeep Willys SSGPM

The Citizen Series 8 890 is praised for its robust build, 200 meters of water resistance without a screw-down crown, and excellent case finishing for its price. Reviewers note the smooth action of its internal bezel, though one suggests the knurling could be more pronounced for better grip. It utilizes the caliber 9051 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve, which often performs better than Citizen's stated -10/+20 seconds per day. The watch's design is noted as borrowing from popular luxury sports watches, and its lug-to-lug measurement can make it wear large. Overall, reviewers find the Citizen Series 8 890 a compelling and robust sports watch, particularly for its finishing and water resistance capabilities.

The Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM is praised for its handsome, retro design and attractive, clean dials with great hands. Owners note the case is nicely shaped and offers good value at $650 USD. However, some find the lugs extend far on smaller wrists, and the corporate Jeep logo detracts from the dial's appeal for some. The leather strap may need replacement with regular wear. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Jeep Willys SSGPM highly for its retro design and value, despite some reservations about the Jeep branding and strap.
