Where these two actually differ
- We flag Band material variability and Skin sensitization from sweat pooling on the Even Realities and not on the Citizen.
- We flag Silicone degradation over time, Nickel or metal alloy contact (from buckle/clasp) and Microplastic or particle shedding on the Citizen and not on the Even Realities.
- The Even Realities is titanium, stainless steel, sapphire crystal where the Citizen is silicone watch bracelet, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
