NuSTAR observed the black hole candidate XTE J1908$+$094 during its 2013 and2019 outbursts. We use relativistic reflection to measure the spin of the blackhole through 19 different assumptions of relxill flavors and parametercombinations. The most favored model in terms of Deviance Information Criterion(DIC) measures the spin of the black hole to be $a = 0.55^{+0.29}_{-0.45}$, andan inclination of $\theta=27^{+2}_{-3}$ degrees ($1\sigma$ statistical errors).We look at the effects of coronal geometry assumptions and density of theaccretion disk on the spin prediction. All 19 tested models provide consistentspin estimates. We discuss the evolution of spin measurement techniques usingrelativistic reflection in X-ray binaries and discuss the implications of thisspin measurement in reconciling the distributions of stellar mass black holespin measurements made through X-ray and gravitational wave observations.
