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).

Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical Watch, Gold (PVD)

The Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical Watch, Gold (PVD) is praised for its Art Deco design and hometown symbolism, echoing the historic Union Terminal clock with striking colors. Owners highlight its 36mm size and 10.2mm thickness as comfortable for dressier occasions, particularly on a leather strap. The Sellita SW300 movement is noted as offering excellent value under $1000, though some find the lack of a screw-down crown and date function limits its everyday versatility. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Union Terminal Mechanical Watch, Gold (PVD) highly for its iconic design and sentimental value at its price point.
