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 CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE HORSE

The CIGA Design CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE HORSE is noted for its striking central tourbillon, DLC-coated titanium case, and 24k gold horse with diamond hands, all offered at a price point under $2,700. One owner reported their watch stopped working after two months, and the company did not respond to inquiries, while another found the leather strap to be subpar. The watch has a 45.5mm size and a 38-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers acknowledge the CIGA Design CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE HORSE as an attention-grabbing showcase of modern Chinese watchmaking, with its standout tourbillon and material execution being key draws despite some reported durability and accessory concerns.

Geckota Pioneer Special Edition

Owners widely praise the Geckota Pioneer for its retro-futuristic design and quality build at £349, with one owner noting excellent lume comparable to Panerai and a striking dial that shifts with light. The textured black honeycomb dial and 200m water resistance are also highlighted as strong points. However, some find the 14mm thickness a bit tall, and the NH 35 movement is considered unexciting by some. One owner points out that the thin cross-hair on the dial can be difficult to see from a distance. Overall, owners rate the Geckota Pioneer highly for its distinctive vintage space-age design and strong value proposition.
