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 Spidospeed Titanium – 3D Movement

The Linde Werdelin Spidospeed Titanium – 3D Movement is praised for its comfortable wearability, with reviewers noting its light presence on the wrist despite a 44mm diameter, attributed to forged carbon and titanium construction. The skeletonized dial is described as dynamic, though some find it slightly busy for time-reading. One reviewer appreciated the dial's design and legibility, while another noted improved, though still less attractive, chronograph pushers compared to earlier designs. The watch features a Concepto automatic movement and is limited to 99 or 100 pieces depending on the specific model, with prices around CHF 21,000 or 11,760 euros. On balance, reviewers highlight the Spidospeed Titanium – 3D Movement's innovative material use and comfortable wearability as its strongest attributes.
