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.

Longines EVIDENZA

Owners widely praise the Longines EVIDENZA's distinctive tonneau shape, which offers a stylish alternative to round watches and is considered suitable for both dress and casual wear. Its detailing, including scalloped ridges and flamboyant styling, is frequently highlighted as spectacular and eye-catching, with particular admiration for the contrast between the steel case, brown strap, and blued hands. Some owners note the 6 numeral is cut off by the sub-dial, and one user wished the date and small seconds were positioned lower, though another found the date useful and well-placed. Accuracy is noted as being good, even after 20 years. Overall, owners rate the Longines EVIDENZA highly for its unique case shape and flamboyant styling.
