What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt ExP-02 is a 39.5mm stainless steel tool watch featuring a unique, layered aluminum "ghost dial" for legibility and 200m water resistance, powered by a Sellita SW300 movement. Its appeal is limited by a US$2,550 price and an extremely limited production of 20 pieces, with its experimental dial construction done in Chicago. Overall, reviewers highlight the endearing dial and in-house bezel production as key features of the Oak & Oscar Humboldt ExP-02.

CIGA Design EDGE

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design EDGE for its stunning, design-forward skeletonized looks and surprisingly light wearability, with one owner noting it as a conversation starter. The finishing is also highlighted as a strong point, alongside its attractive book-style packaging. Concerns exist regarding the robustness and longevity of the Sea-Gull movement, with quality noted as potentially irregular. The included strap may be too small for some wrists, requiring aftermarket solutions. Overall, owners rate the CIGA Design EDGE highly for its unique aesthetic and value, especially when purchased at a sale price.
