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.

Spinnaker Fleuss

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Fleuss for its retro design, textured dial, and good value, with many noting it looks better in person than in photos. The watch is appreciated for its robust construction and finishing, especially when found at a discount. Some owners report good timekeeping and a decent power reserve. However, the Spinnaker Fleuss GMT is criticized by some for its large case size, which can affect proportions and numeral legibility. One owner experienced a broken crown after a fall, while another noted concerns about the acrylic bezel's durability. The lume is described as adequate but not exceptional. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Fleuss highly for its retro aesthetic and value proposition, particularly when purchased on sale.

From video reviewers

The bezel action is considered notably stiff by multiple reviewers. The watch's 43mm case diameter is identified as potentially too large for smaller wrists.
