What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Orient Esteem II

Owners widely praise the Orient Esteem II for its surprising quality relative to its price point, with many finding it a beautiful and nice-looking watch. One owner specifically highlights its lightweight feel, good performance, and decent price, though notes the dial is silver, not white as anticipated. Overall, owners rate the Orient Esteem II highly for its impressive value and attractive aesthetics.

CIGA Design SKELETON

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design SKELETON for its value and willingness to challenge established brands, with some surprised by its quality. One owner reports their CIGA Design Series Z in Black DLC has been perfect for over four years, keeping good time and looking neat. However, some find the skeletonized movement's visibility obscured by reflections due to the lack of anti-reflective coating on the crystal. One owner reported their CIGA Design Z Series Skeleton broke after three months with no customer service response. Overall, owners rate the CIGA Design SKELETON highly for its surprising quality and value proposition.
