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 TIME CIPHER

The CIGA Design TIME CIPHER is praised for its fun and conceptual execution of a wandering hours display, offering a unique spectacle in a slim and wearable 45mm case. Reviewers highlight its intuitive complication, comfortable strap, and the striking "Super Black" dial designed to make the moving elements appear to float. The CD-08 automatic movement, based on the Miyota 9015, provides a 42-hour power reserve, with stated accuracy of -10 to +20 seconds per day. Some legibility challenges are noted due to the stencil-style numerals between 15 and 45 minutes past the hour. Overall, reviewers consider the CIGA Design TIME CIPHER a compelling and well-executed conceptual watch offering a good balance of spectacle and wearability at its $899 price point.

Yema Superman Steel CMM.10

Owners widely praise the Yema Superman Steel CMM.10 for its refined casework, including polished lug bevels and an elegant crown guard, and its comfortable 39mm x 10.5mm dimensions. The glossy black lacquer dial and bezel insert are noted for adding depth, and the in-house CMM.10 movement is reported to be accurate, with one owner observing a loss of only 2 seconds over 2 days. The scales bracelet is described as gorgeous and nearly invisible on the wrist, though some find its polished center links too flashy. One reviewer flagged the signature bezel lock mechanism as flimsy and inconvenient. The CMM.10 automatic movement offers a 70-hour power reserve and is regulated to within +5/-3 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Yema Superman Steel CMM.10 highly for its refined finishing and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Yema Steel features an in-house movement with a micro-rotor, one of the most beautiful at this price point. The watch's clasp feels a bit thin, which is a notable drawback. Reviewers disagree on the movement's power reserve, with one reviewer noting a 42-hour reserve and the other not mentioning power reserve at all.
