Planet Ocean 8500 vs 8900 readability

Hello,

I have read a lot when people say it’s too “glossy” PO’s 8900.
Is that really an issue with readability on the sun? In comparison with 2500 and 8500?
Obviously, I could try it only in boutique and doesn’t answer the question.
Or it’s actually people just try to find the benefits of old gen?
Would be happy to hear real and honest opinions 😀

In terms of comfort weight/bracelet the new PO’s downgrade? For example PO 43.5mm weight on strap 135 gr and 16.1mm , 42mm on strap 124 gr and 15,7mm.
However, I have seen posts that 8900 is better size and sits better. Could someone share their experience!

I can't speak to the 8500, but my 8900 driven creamsicle PO is very legible in all lighting conditions and sits very nicely on the wrist. It has become one of my favorites to wear.
