What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Baltic Aquascaphe Classic

Owners widely praise the Baltic Aquascaphe Classic for its vintage-inspired design, comfortable 39mm wearability, and attractive blue sunburst dial with gold indices. Some owners note a hollow feeling and slight bezel play, while others point to rough case edges and sharp lugs. The faux vintage lume is considered weak by some, and the dial can appear dark without direct light due to limited anti-reflective coating. Accuracy is generally found to be good. On balance, owners rate the Baltic Aquascaphe Classic highly for its aesthetic appeal and comfortable wear at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Baltic Aquascaphe Classic is praised for its exceptional value and unique aesthetic. The watch's bezel action is somewhat stiff and could be improved. Reviewers disagree on the watch's water resistance, with one reviewer finding it unimpressive compared to other dive watches in its price range, while others do not mention any specific issues.

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.
