Questions and answers

Is the Series8 870 worth $1,276?
At $1,276 it competes with entry Swiss automatics that often use lesser crystals. You get sapphire, 100m water resistance and a 41mm steel case, so the value is solid if you want an automatic rather than quartz.
How accurate is the automatic movement?
Mechanical automatics typically run within about 10 to 20 seconds a day. Expect to reset the time every week or two, and more if you don't wear it daily.
Can I swim with it?
Yes. It is rated 10 ATM (100m), which covers swimming and snorkeling. Skip diving and hot showers, which stress the gaskets.
How does it compare to Citizen Eco-Drive?
Eco-Drive is quartz powered by light, so it is more accurate and never needs winding. The Series8 870 is for buyers who want the sweep of a mechanical movement and don't mind setting it.
What size wrist does the 41mm case suit?
41mm wears well on wrists from about 6.5 to 7.5 inches. Smaller wrists may find it chunky; larger wrists may want 42mm or more.
When is it cheapest?
The current best new price is $1,276 at Romantique Jewelers as of November 7, 2026. Watch for holiday and end-of-season sales, when automatics often drop 10 to 15 percent.
Where is the Citizen Automatic Men's Series8 870 cheapest?
At Romantique Jewelers, for $1,276.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the Citizen Automatic Men's Series8 870?
10 stores we checked sell it, including Romantique Jewelers, Mani Jewellers, Reeds, Arizona Fine Time, Day's Jewelers.
