Reviews

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

Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic

The Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic features black lume on its hands and indexes, which reviewers note is less bright than standard lume. The watch has a 41mm black ceramic case with brushed and polished surfaces and a grey-tinted sapphire dial that reveals the movement. It is powered by an automatic movement with a 54-hour power reserve. Overall, reviewers describe the Bell & Ross BR-05 Skeleton Phantom Ceramic as a stealthy and modern take on the BR-05 line, highlighting its monochromatic aesthetic and intricate dial.

CIGA Design EDGE

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design EDGE for its stunning looks, finishing, and book-style packaging, making it a versatile everyday and business-casual watch that wears well and is surprisingly light. Some owners find the 3 ATM water resistance concerning for daily wear, and there are concerns regarding the robustness and longevity of the movement, with quality noted as potentially irregular. The included straps may be too small for some wrists, and aftermarket options are recommended to better suit the watch's modern aesthetic. Overall, owners rate the CIGA Design EDGE highly for its design-forward skeleton aesthetic and value, despite some concerns about movement longevity and strap sizing.
