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-YS023

Owners find the Pagani Design PD-YS023 chunky for an integrated bracelet watch, though some appreciate its case back design. On balance, owners consider the Pagani Design PD-YS023 a great addition to their collection, citing its sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance.
