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).

Gruppo Gamma Field III GMT Date

Owners widely praise the Gruppo Gamma Field III GMT Date for its awesome looks, quality, and good value. The watch features a 40mm brushed 316L stainless steel case, box sapphire crystal, and 200m water resistance, powered by a Seiko NH34A movement. Some reviewers note the NH34A movement's accuracy can range from -20~+40 seconds per day, though one reviewer reported +5 seconds per day with a regulated movement. The dial's dense layout with Arabic numerals can be overwhelming for some, and one owner found the size unsuitable for smaller wrists. On balance, owners rate the Gruppo Gamma Field III GMT Date highly for its impressive finishing and toolish design at its price point.
