What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Borealis Watch Co. Porto Covo

The Borealis Porto Covo is widely praised for its 39mm size and unique cantilevered indices that create a 3D effect and depth. Owners note the indices' floating appearance is a well-executed design. One owner reported poor accuracy and a terse customer service response, while another wished for a 42mm size option. The $395 price is considered reasonable for a microbrand, though some feel it does not compare favorably to AliExpress options. Overall, owners appreciate the Borealis Porto Covo for its distinctive dial design and wearable 39mm case size.

CIGA Design FALCON

The CIGA Design FALCON is noted for its distinctive skeletonized dial and slim 11mm steel case. Owners highlight the unique back-to-front skeleton design, allowing the Caliber CD-02 movement to be viewed from all angles, and the comfortable H-linked bracelet. Reviewers praise its well-executed honeycomb dial and 36mm case size, though some find the 3-6-9 numeral layout too derivative. It is powered by the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design FALCON for its innovative skeletonization and vintage-inspired design at its price point.
