What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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. On balance, owners rate the CIGA Design EDGE EXPLORATION highly for its perceived quality and comfortable, lightweight wearability.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
