What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CIGA Design EDGE EXPLORATION

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design EDGE EXPLORATION for its impressive quality and packaging, noting its surprisingly light feel on the wrist. One owner reports the stock strap may be too small for some wrists, but replacement straps are readily available. On balance, owners rate the CIGA Design EDGE EXPLORATION highly for its perceived quality and comfortable, lightweight wearability.

Orient Modern Skeleton

Owners widely praise the Orient Modern Skeleton for its unique, conversation-starting design and the intricate depth of its skeletonized dial, which offers a practical balance between legibility and showcasing its mechanical nature. Reviewers and owners consistently flag the watch's excellent accuracy, with figures reported under 5 seconds per day, and note its durable PVD coatings. Some owners find the dial too busy for a dress watch, and the lume is considered weak and practically worthless in dim light. Strap quality is a recurring point of disappointment, with some regretting the lack of a default leather bracelet. One owner reported a malfunctioning rotor requiring repair. Overall, owners rate the Orient Modern Skeleton highly for its unique casual style and the remarkable sense of depth conveyed by its dial at its price point.
