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.

Vaer RS1 Rally Chronograph

However, some owners report issues with the quality of the included steel bracelet, stating it does not seat flush on the case and that stock straps fit poorly. One owner also noted that the brand has faced criticism regarding perceived quality within its price range. Overall, owners rate the Vaer RS1 Rally Chronograph highly for its legibility and strap versatility, despite concerns about bracelet quality.
