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.

Orient Bambino No Date

Owners widely praise the Orient Bambino No Date for its improved dial symmetry and dress watch appeal, with many appreciating the cleaner, no-date design. The 38.4mm case size is considered ideal for a dress watch, and the dial sheen is a notable positive. Some owners, however, find the dial busy due to sub-indices, printed numbers, and "Water Resistant" text, while others regret the lack of a sapphire crystal. The movement is the automatic F6524, offering hacking and hand-winding, with accuracy reported between +25/-15 seconds per day. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Orient Bambino No Date highly for its enhanced dial symmetry and dress watch aesthetics at its price point.
