What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bell & Ross BR-05 Blue Diamond Eagle

Owners widely praise the Bell & Ross BR-05 36 MM Blue Diamond Eagle's design, dial, and the contrast between brushed and polished finishes, finding it a compelling integrated steel sports watch. One owner notes the crown can be fussy. The £4k price is considered high, especially given the SW300-1 movement. On balance, owners find the Bell & Ross BR-05 36 MM Blue Diamond Eagle's design and finishing compelling, though the price point is a significant consideration.

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.
