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.

Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 35mm Automatic

The Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 35mm Automatic is praised as a fantastic time-only release with excellent legibility due to its large indices and hands, and a comfortable 38mm case. Reviewers highlight its vintage-accurate 10.1mm thinness and 200m water resistance. An owner reports accuracy gains of +6 to +9 seconds per day, and one reviewer notes the "cream" lume color appears too yellow for faux patina. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic 35mm Automatic highly for its comfortable size and excellent legibility at its price point.
