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.

Boldr Expedition Enigmath

Boldr is widely praised for its attractive fumé dials, blend of sandblasted and polished case finishes, and excellent legibility. Owners report good build quality and value, with some calling it an excellent GADA or hiking watch, and the Miyota 9039 movement is noted for its smooth seconds hand sweep. However, the practical usefulness of the slide rule bezel is questioned, and some find the designs "microbrand-y" or potentially overpriced, with one owner reporting a negative warranty experience. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Boldr highly for its attractive dials and solid build quality at the price point.

From video reviewers

The watch's slide rule function is a convenient feature, allowing for calculations on the go. One potential drawback is the use of the Japanese Miyota 9039 movement, which may be a trade-off for some buyers. Reviewers disagree on whether the quick 'on the fly' adjust bracelet is a more significant advantage than the watch's sapphire crystal for durability and scratch resistance.
