What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC RN Automatic Divers Watch Mk.2

Owners widely praise the CWC RN Diver for its build quality, comfortable wearability, and classic design with desirable brand heritage, suitable for diving. Some owners consider it a favorite, appreciating its case wear and aging tritium as a classic replacement for previous military issue watches. However, a common complaint across multiple sources is the fixed spring bars, which limit strap options, and some find the watch overpriced for its features, particularly when compared to other military-style watches or when noting specific branding text. One owner wishes CWC offered a smaller diver size. On balance, owners rate the CWC RN Diver highly for its utilitarian capabilities and historical connection, despite concerns about strap versatility and value.

CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.

From video reviewers

The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.
