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.

Makydo 38

Owners widely praise the Makydo 38 for its excellent finishing and comfortable wearability as a daily watch. The mosaic dial and leather watch roll are noted as distinctive inclusions. However, some question its value proposition at the stated price point, and one owner reported a negative customer service experience; opinion on the asymmetrical case shape is split, with some finding it interesting and classy while others are less convinced. Overall, owners rate the Makydo 38 highly for its finishing quality and practical daily-wear comfort, though pricing remains a point of contention in the community.
