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.

Vaer G5 Pacific GMT

The Vaer G5 Pacific GMT is praised for its vintage-inspired design featuring beige lume and an orange GMT hand, with a 13mm thick case and 200m water resistance. It utilizes a Miyota Caliber 9075 movement regulated to -0/+10 seconds per day, and a steel bezel for true GMT functionality. Some owners report acceptable dial clouding at certain angles given the price, while one owner returned a G5 Pacific Polar due to a misaligned date, suggesting a potential quality control issue. The highly domed sapphire crystal can increase thickness to 15.6mm and contribute to reflections. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Vaer G5 Pacific GMT highly for its true GMT functionality and vintage aesthetic at an affordable price point.
