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 BLACK STAR

Owners widely praise CIGA Design for its unique, avant-garde designs that stand out as conversation pieces, with some finding the 46mm titanium case comfortable and wearable. Reviewers highlight the Blue Planet II Atlantic's aesthetically pleasing dial with good textures and raised surfaces, and the exotic time-telling mechanism is surprisingly readable once accustomed. However, multiple owners and reviewers flag challenges with legibility due to unusual displays and difficulty identifying details on the map. Some owners report issues with customer service and strap quality, while others consider the watch overpriced or an imitation. Overall, CIGA Design is highly regarded by owners and reviewers for its radical, statement art watch aesthetic and unique mechanics that make it look and wear like a much more expensive timepiece.

Pagani Design PD-1775

Pagani Design PD-1775 owners widely praise its appearance, calling it pure beauty with a perfect handset and date wheel location, and the bracelet is considered the best from the brand by one owner. The watch fits well on smaller wrists and features sapphire with anti-reflective coating. Some owners wish for a mechanical movement and a seconds hand, while others find the brand name on the dial undesirable, and the bracelet is noted as noisy. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1775 highly for its aesthetic appeal and wearability on smaller wrists at its price point.
