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 FALCON

The CIGA Design FALCON is noted for its distinctive skeletonized dial and slim 11mm steel case. Owners highlight the unique back-to-front skeleton design, allowing the Caliber CD-02 movement to be viewed from all angles, and the comfortable H-linked bracelet. Reviewers praise its well-executed honeycomb dial and 36mm case size, though some find the 3-6-9 numeral layout too derivative. It is powered by the Miyota 90S5 caliber and offers 100m water resistance. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design FALCON for its innovative skeletonization and vintage-inspired design at its price point.

Citizen Corso

The Citizen Corso is widely praised for its attractive sunburst dial that catches the light well, its excellent accuracy of a few seconds per month, and its versatile, classic look suitable for various occasions. Owners appreciate the substantial feel of the metal bracelet, which features a matte finish on top with polished edges and includes two half links for adjustment, though the clasp lacks micro-adjustments. The stainless steel case and crystal are noted for their durability. Some owners find the 40mm case size less ideal for smaller wrists, and one critique mentioned the original leather bands were unpleasant, with another noting the case finish was too shiny. The Citizen Corso is powered by an Eco-Drive movement and offers day and date complications, with a lug-to-lug distance of 46mm and a bracelet tapering from 22mm to 20mm. Overall, owners rate the Citizen Corso highly for its value and attractive dial at its price point.
