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. Sintra

Borealis Watch Co. Sintra owners widely praise its well-executed design, featuring applied indices and a shimmering blue dial that some prefer over more expensive alternatives. The timepiece is noted for excellent build quality and high-end specifications for its price, including a Miyota 90S5 movement and a premium bracelet. One owner did not purchase due to its size not being 39mm or less, while the 90xx movements are considered reliable and accurate, though some find them noisy. On balance, owners rate the Borealis Watch Co. Sintra highly for its impressive design and build quality at its price point.

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.
