What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Orient Multi-Year Calendar

Owners report the Orient Multi-Year Calendar features a complex analog display for tracking days and dates across multiple years, housed in a 45mm stainless steel case with 100m water resistance. Some owners view the watch as a visually appealing novelty, noting that manual adjustment is required for months and that the older 20-year calendar version is difficult to find. One owner observed only light signs of wear on their watch, with minor desk rash on the buckle visible only under magnification. On balance, owners appreciate the unique calendar complication as a visually appealing novelty.

CIGA Design SKELETON

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design SKELETON for its value and willingness to challenge established brands, with some surprised by its quality. One owner reports their CIGA Design Series Z in Black DLC has been perfect for over four years, keeping good time and looking neat. However, some find the skeletonized movement's visibility obscured by reflections due to the lack of anti-reflective coating on the crystal. One owner reported their CIGA Design Z Series Skeleton broke after three months with no customer service response. Overall, owners rate the CIGA Design SKELETON highly for its surprising quality and value proposition.
