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 EDGE

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design EDGE for its stunning, design-forward skeletonized looks and surprisingly light wearability, with one owner noting it as a conversation starter. The finishing is also highlighted as a strong point, alongside its attractive book-style packaging. Concerns exist regarding the robustness and longevity of the Sea-Gull movement, with quality noted as potentially irregular. The included strap may be too small for some wrists, requiring aftermarket solutions. Overall, owners rate the CIGA Design EDGE highly for its unique aesthetic and value, especially when purchased at a sale price.

Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3)

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) for its vibrant blue dial that exhibits depth and liveliness under varying light, its fun and creative design, and its value as a mechanical chronograph. The Seagull 1901 movement provides column-wheel chronograph functionality, with one owner reporting accuracy around +6 seconds per day and satisfying chronograph pusher feel. However, the watch is criticized for a highly reflective, overly domed crystal and weak lume. Some owners find the 13.6mm thickness to be substantial. On balance, owners rate the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) highly for its engaging dial and value proposition as a mechanical chronograph.
