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 EASTERN JADE

CIGA Design is widely seen as a compelling, avant-garde design for its price. Owners and reviewers note the proprietary ceramic jade case offers a weighty, cool feel, and the skeletonized dial is surprisingly legible with effective hour indices and varied finishing. However, the CD-02 automatic movement's accuracy is rated conservatively at -15/+30 seconds per day, and the plain caseback and 30-meter water resistance are noted downsides. Some owners have reported issues with the movement after varying periods of use, with one experiencing a rotor issue after over a year of daily wear and another's watch stopping after two months. The accompanying ceramic bracelet is described as simple with wider tolerances, and one owner found the included leather strap subpar. Overall, owners and reviewers rate CIGA Design highly for its avant-garde aesthetic and value, despite some concerns regarding movement reliability and accuracy.

CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.

From video reviewers

The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.
