Reviews

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

Boderry STORM Square Titanium

Owners widely praise the Boderry STORM - Square Automatic Titanium Watch for its high-end look and feel, with specific appreciation for the grade 2 titanium case construction, hexagonal dial pattern, and ceramic bezel. One owner noted good timekeeping and appreciated details like the engraved buckle and sea turtle caseback. The watch is considered a "banger" by some, with amplitude readings between 245-250 noted for the skeleton version. However, some owners express disappointment with the lack of a hacking feature on the Boderry BD01 movement, and one owner found the crown to feel flimsy and cheap, with the finish scratching easily. The included NATO strap was also noted as stiff initially. Overall, owners rate the Boderry STORM - Square Automatic Titanium Watch highly for its titanium construction and premium aesthetic at its price point.

CIGA Design Hunter

The CIGA Design HUNTER is praised for its affordable execution of high-end aesthetics, with reviewers noting its beautiful appearance and well-executed skeletonization, particularly the integration of the case and sapphire crystal. Owners find the CIGA Design HUNTER weighty but fun, and one owner highlights the crisp finishing on its Grade 5 titanium case. However, legibility is flagged as poor, the movement is described as loud, and the anti-reflective coating is minimal. One owner reported the watch stopped ticking within a day. The CIGA Design HUNTER features an automatic CIGA Design CD-07 movement and 30m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design HUNTER for its striking skeletonized design and premium look at an accessible price point, despite noted legibility and lume drawbacks.

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.
