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.

Nezumi Studios Tonnerre

The Nezumi Studios Tonnerre is widely praised for its comfortable 38mm case size, retro design, and sharp finishing that exceeds expectations for its price point. Owners appreciate the dial's texture, colors, and unique telemeter scale, with some noting the quality of the leather strap and the impressive unboxing experience. The Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement is seen as offering reliable accuracy. Some users find the 24-hour indicator's functional link to the sub-dial hands unnecessary or aesthetically surprising, and a few owners report issues with chronograph sub-dial hand misalignment or express disappointment with customer service. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Nezumi Tonnerre highly for its comfortable wearability and excellent finishing at the price.

From video reviewers

The watch features a 38mm brushed stainless steel case that fits smaller wrists well. The 5 ATM water resistance is limited for a tool-oriented chronograph.
