Stevie, maybe you miss read or I wasn't clear enough in my writing, my apologies. Yes, I understand that the Miyota 9054 is superior to the Miyota 9075. Which is why I wrote it has a higher anti magnetic rating and higher power reserve. The only thing that I wrote is that JM supposedly regulates the 9075 they use to +/- 5 sec, which beats the 9054's +/- ~10-20sec.
It's funny that you asked this question, as I just went through this exact situation. I ended up picking the JM Strat O Timer over the Series 8. My reasoning is that 1) the JM looks better in my opinion 2) I own multiple Citizens and the JM is by far the most comfortable watch I own 3) the movements are essentially the same, however Citizen has tweeked theirs. From what I've researched, Citizen's is a Miyota 9054 vs the JM 9075, the 9054 has a higher power reserve and higher anti- magnetic rating. But, JM claims to regulate the 9075 to +/- 5 sec a day, which beats the 9054.
I do believe that the JM is a bit overpriced, but yet I still bought it. No regrets on my end and I'm very happy with my decision.
