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 HUNTER

The CIGA Design HUNTER is widely seen as a visually impressive skeleton watch that offers an expensive aesthetic for its price. Owners find the CIGA Design HUNTER weighty but fun, and reviewers highlight its well-executed skeletonization and excellent case integration. However, legibility is a common concern, with one owner noting minimal anti-reflective coating and another pointing out the hands' lume application is lacking. The movement is described as loud by one reviewer, and a significant durability issue was reported by an owner whose watch stopped ticking within a day. The CIGA Design HUNTER features a Grade 5 titanium case with crisp finishing. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design HUNTER for its striking skeletonized design and premium case finishing at an accessible price point, though concerns exist regarding legibility and movement noise.

From video reviewers

The CIGA Design HUNTER's unique layered case with an industrial skeleton aesthetic gives it a futuristic look. A notable weakness is the integrated stainless steel H-link bracelet's noticeable rattle, which may be a drawback for some buyers. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer considering the custom, in-house movement impressive at the price point, while another suggests the price is higher than some competitors without a clear justification.

Venezianico Nereide Lapislazzuli

Owners widely praise the Venezianico Nereide for its exceptional dial work, particularly the mother-of-pearl blue and lapis lazuli variants, and its well-executed case finishing with consistent brushing and polished edges. The 39mm version is noted for its thin 10mm profile and comfortable wearability, while the bracelet is generally considered good quality. Some owners feel the NH45a movement is a drawback, preferring a thinner and more accurate caliber. One owner specifically noted weak lume on the seconds hand and bezel triangle, along with some play in the crown's hand-setting on the 39mm model. On balance, owners rate the Venezianico Nereide highly for its stunning dial options and refined finishing at its price point.
