What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Airman GMT

Owners widely praise the Glycine Airman GMT for its value and classic design, with specific appreciation for its 39mm sizing, 200m water resistance, and beefy signed crowns. Reviewers highlight its faithful re-issue nature, retaining vintage features like the plexiglass crystal and locking friction bezel with a thumbscrew crown, while some owners note its subtle blue degrade dial and red-tipped GMT hand. Accuracy from its Sellita-based automatic movement is described as acceptable, though some owners find the dual 12-hour and 24-hour scales confusing and the slim GMT hand difficult to read. On balance, enthusiasts and reviewers rate the Glycine Airman GMT highly for its vintage charm and robust build at its price point.

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.
