What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Citizen The Citizen Caliber 0210

Owners widely praise The Citizen Caliber 0210 for its exceptional craftsmanship, high-quality finishing, and unique electroformed dial textures that play with light. Its superior quartz accuracy of 1-5 seconds per year and perpetual calendar functionality are also highlighted as significant strengths. The watch features a titanium construction, 100m water resistance, and an in-house movement with a 60-hour power reserve. However, the EUR 8,500 retail price is considered high, with some critics finding the Citizen brand name and the dial's chicken logo detracting from its refined aesthetic. One owner notes the 11.2mm thickness due to the date function. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate The Citizen Caliber 0210 for its advanced technology and refined finishing, despite reservations about its price point and branding.

Vaer Tactical Field

Owners widely praise the Vaer Tactical Field's exceptionally bright and long-lasting C3 SuperLuminova, supple straps that break in well, and thin case that avoids snagging. The watch is described as a reliable beater for outdoor activities and a welcome change from smartwatches, with some commenters calling it a "thing of beauty" and "good looking." However, some owners report issues with the second hand occasionally missing indicators due to hand assembly, and one owner experienced a misaligned watch face. A power reserve indicator is also missed by some. Overall, owners rate the Vaer Tactical Field highly for its excellent lume and wearability at the price point.

From video reviewers

The 36mm case size is a great fit for smaller wrists. The watch's 200m water resistance is a standard for this type. The quartz movement is a compromise for the watch's overall design and feel.
