What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Bell & Ross BR-05 SKELETON GOLD

The Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Gold is praised for its distinctive and attractive design, warm color, intricate skeletonized movement, and balanced 40mm wearability. However, its price, particularly at over $30,000, is widely considered a significant drawback, especially given its Sellita SW300-based movement. Some reviewers and owners note the movement's 38-hour power reserve as a potential drawback for enthusiasts. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Gold to be a visually striking watch, but its high price point relative to its movement is a consistent point of contention.

From video reviewers

The case finishing and skeletonized dial are highly praised. The 38-hour power reserve is a point of concern.

CIGA Design EDGE EXPLORATION

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design EDGE EXPLORATION for its impressive quality and packaging, noting its surprisingly light feel on the wrist. One owner reports the stock strap may be too small for some wrists, but replacement straps are readily available.
