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 FALCON

The CIGA Design FALCON is noted for its distinctive skeletonized dial and slim 11mm steel case. Owners highlight the unique back-to-front skeleton design, allowing the Caliber CD-02 movement to be viewed from all angles, and the comfortable H-linked bracelet. Reviewers praise its well-executed honeycomb dial and 36mm case size, though some find the 3-6-9 numeral layout too derivative. It is powered by the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design FALCON for its innovative skeletonization and vintage-inspired design at its price point.

anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy)

Owners widely praise the anOrdain Model 1 (Group Buy) for its exceptional vitreous enamel dial, custom typography, and elegant, handmade aesthetic. The dial's deep colors and light-reflecting properties are frequently highlighted as a standout feature, with crisp printing and legible layouts. One owner notes the case finishing is basic but well-executed with a high-polish finish and defined lugs. The watch is considered worth the wait and looks better in person, becoming a daily wearer for some. However, long wait times from deposit to delivery, sometimes nearly two years, are a significant drawback. The Sellita SW200-1 movement is standard with a 38-hour power reserve, and one reviewer wished the 12.3mm case was slimmer. Another owner found the case plain and the buckle thin, while also noting white hands could crowd dial numbers on a GMT variant. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting good timekeeping and another noting the watch is keeping good time.

From video reviewers

The enamel dial is a standout feature. Legibility issues were addressed by reluming the hands.
