What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Audaz ADZ-3040

Owners widely praise the Audaz Seafarer's versatile design, fitting for both diving and formal wear, and note its NH35 automatic movement and 200m water resistance. One owner highlights the Sea Ranger's amazing lume with a gorgeous phosphorus blue color. However, some owners criticize the Audaz Sand Color Dial as a blatant copy of iconic watches, deeming the "affordable luxury" claim disingenuous, while others express skepticism about the water resistance and call it a Rolex clone. The 42mm case is noted as being a little big on smaller wrists. Overall, owners are split on the Audaz, with praise for its lume and versatility tempered by significant criticism regarding its design originality and perceived value.

CIGA Design HUNTER

The CIGA Design HUNTER is widely seen as a visually impressive skeleton watch that offers an expensive aesthetic for its price. Owners find the CIGA Design HUNTER weighty but fun, and reviewers highlight its well-executed skeletonization and excellent case integration. However, legibility is a common concern, with one owner noting minimal anti-reflective coating and another pointing out the hands' lume application is lacking. The movement is described as loud by one reviewer, and a significant durability issue was reported by an owner whose watch stopped ticking within a day. The CIGA Design HUNTER features a Grade 5 titanium case with crisp finishing. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design HUNTER for its striking skeletonized design and premium case finishing at an accessible price point, though concerns exist regarding legibility and movement noise.

From video reviewers

The CIGA Design HUNTER's unique layered case with an industrial skeleton aesthetic gives it a futuristic look. A notable weakness is the integrated stainless steel H-link bracelet's noticeable rattle, which may be a drawback for some buyers. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer considering the custom, in-house movement impressive at the price point, while another suggests the price is higher than some competitors without a clear justification.
