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 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.

Tudor Pelagos Ultra

The Tudor Pelagos Ultra is praised for its 1000 meters of water resistance, METAS-certified Calibre MT5612-U movement, and fully lumed dial and bezel. Reviewers highlight its titanium case and self-adjusting clasp as key features. The Tudor Pelagos Ultra is slightly larger at 43mm than some other models in the line but wears comfortably. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tudor Pelagos Ultra highly for its technical specifications and comfortable wearability as a flagship dive watch.

From video reviewers

The Tudor Pelagos Ultra's all-titanium construction provides a lightweight and durable case. One weakness is the lack of lume brightness. Reviewers disagree on whether the helium release valve is a notable feature or a drawback for a more streamlined design.
