Farr + Swit VicevsCIGA Design GORILLA

The Farr + Swit Vice is widely praised for its vibrant, 1980s-inspired colorways and unique dial designs, with owners frequently highlighting its fun aesthetic and legibility. Reviewers and owners alike note its comfortable wearability and good value, especially considering the included straps. The watch features extensive lume applications, which are described as great by one owner. Some owners express a desire for an automatic movement option or the removal of the date function. The Farr + Swit Vice is a solar quartz chronograph with a simulated "mecha" chronograph function, which some find lacks the tactile feel of true mechaquartz. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farr + Swit Vice highly for its distinctive style and value proposition.

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design GORILLA for its incredible wrist presence, unique skeletonized design with purple accents, and exceptional value under $400, with one owner highlighting its quality and scratch resistance from Gorilla glass. Reviewers note the watch's striking, Hublot-esque aesthetic and shock-resistant suspension system. However, legibility can be challenging, lume is weak, and the CD-01 movement gains approximately 17 seconds per day with a 40-hour power reserve. Community sentiment is divided, with some finding the design "hideous" while others enthusiastically recommend it as affordable, interesting, and cool. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CIGA Design GORILLA highly for its bold, unconventional design and accessible price point.
