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 8 890

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.

From video reviewers

Advanced finishing techniques on the 42.6mm octagonal silver-tone stainless steel case showcase durability and elegance. The watch's textured blue dial may not appeal to everyone's taste. Reviewers disagree on whether the Citizen Series 8 890's movement (Caliber 9051) is a strong point due to differing comparisons (Grand Seiko vs. AP Royal Oak).

Linde Werdelin Spidolite White Dial

The Linde Werdelin Spidolite White Dial is widely praised for its striking, identifiable design and extreme lightness due to its skeletonized case and dial. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight the unique case-to-strap connection and visible screws as successful design elements. The watch offers a comfortable wearing experience, with its titanium construction contributing to surprising lightness despite its 44mm x 15mm dimensions. One owner notes the LW04 self-winding movement has a 42-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Linde Werdelin Spidolite White Dial highly for its unique skeletonized design and comfortable, lightweight wearability.
