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).

Spinnaker Hull Titanium Bronze

The Spinnaker Hull Titanium Bronze is a sold-out limited edition that has garnered significant interest, with one owner noting its titanium case stands out with a white strap. Owners are split on the watch's value, with one finding it a good purchase at $125 and another questioning the strap's suitability for its 100M water resistance. Some reviewers flag the VK73 movement's limited 60-minute chronograph and a big date window obscured by the chronograph hand, while others praise the handsome design with a textured sandwich dial and comfortable wearability. Lume is described as non-existent by one source. Overall, owners and reviewers are divided on the Spinnaker Hull Titanium Bronze, with praise for its design and wearability tempered by criticism of its movement execution and strap.
