Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the DuFrane Watches Travis 39mm MkII Mechanical Diving Watch for its comfortable 39mm wearability and attractive dial features, with many appreciating the included strap options. The watch's lume is noted as surprisingly bright, and its suitability for water activities is confirmed. However, some owners find the bezel difficult to turn and question its functionality as a true dive watch bezel due to its thinness, while others are deterred by the brand name. On balance, owners rate the DuFrane Watches Travis 39mm MkII Mechanical Diving Watch highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial features, with many appreciating the included strap options.
The CIGA Design HUNTER is widely seen as a visually impressive skeleton watch that offers an expensive aesthetic for its price. Owners find the CIGA Design HUNTER weighty but fun, and reviewers highlight its well-executed skeletonization and excellent case integration. However, legibility is a common concern, with one owner noting minimal anti-reflective coating and another pointing out the hands' lume application is lacking. The movement is described as loud by one reviewer, and a significant durability issue was reported by an owner whose watch stopped ticking within a day. The CIGA Design HUNTER features a Grade 5 titanium case with crisp finishing. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the CIGA Design HUNTER for its striking skeletonized design and premium case finishing at an accessible price point, though concerns exist regarding legibility and movement noise.
The CIGA Design HUNTER's unique layered case with an industrial skeleton aesthetic gives it a futuristic look. A notable weakness is the integrated stainless steel H-link bracelet's noticeable rattle, which may be a drawback for some buyers. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer considering the custom, in-house movement impressive at the price point, while another suggests the price is higher than some competitors without a clear justification.
