Citizen 8210: Comprehensive Review of MIYOTA 8215/8205 Movement - Everything You Need to Know 

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's always valuable to hear real-world feedback. It's unfortunate to hear about the issues you faced with your Citizen watch, but it's great to see that you still recognize the overall quality of the MIYOTA movements within their price range. The stutter and early failure you mentioned can indeed be frustrating, but it's a reminder that even well-regarded movements can sometimes have inconsistencies. Your point about the rotor spin being barely noticeable is a good one and highlights a positive aspect of the design. Regarding service, I agree that Seiko tends to have a more straightforward servicing process compared to other brands like Miyota, Orient, or Sea-Gull. It's interesting to note that you've found all these movements capable of running within COSC parameters for on-wrist accuracy, which speaks to their potential when well-maintained and regulated. As you rightly said, there's always a risk of encountering issues with any brand, but it's reassuring to know that you still find value in the Citizen 8210 and similar models. Thanks again for your insightful comment!
