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 LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.

From video reviewers

The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.

Spinnaker Croft 42 Skeleton

Owners widely report the Spinnaker Croft 42 Skeleton offers good build quality for its price, with some finding it a decent buy on sale. Reviewers note the 42mm case provides significant wrist presence. However, opinions are split on legibility and aesthetics, with some finding it poorly executed and uninteresting while others consider it one of the more legible skeleton watches. The watch is powered by a Seiko NH70 automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve, though one reviewer considered the movement uninteresting. The bracelet and clasp are considered mediocre for the price point. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Spinnaker Croft 42 Skeleton to be a polarizing but potentially good value skeletonized dive watch when purchased on sale, with its build quality being a key positive for many.
