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 CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE HORSE

The CIGA Design CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE HORSE is noted for its striking central tourbillon, DLC-coated titanium case, and 24k gold horse with diamond hands, all offered at a price point under $2,700. One owner reported their watch stopped working after two months, and the company did not respond to inquiries, while another found the leather strap to be subpar. The watch has a 45.5mm size and a 38-hour power reserve. On balance, owners and reviewers acknowledge the CIGA Design CHINESE ZODIAC YEAR OF THE HORSE as an attention-grabbing showcase of modern Chinese watchmaking, with its standout tourbillon and material execution being key draws despite some reported durability and accessory concerns.

Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton

The Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton is noted for its skeletonized dial and the use of BGW9 and C3 Super-LumiNova for legibility. It is powered by a manual-wind ETA 6498 movement, offering a 44-hour power reserve. On balance, the Zelos Skyraider 40 Skeleton is seen as a cool-looking option, though availability is a factor.
