What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Baltic HMS 002 - Gold PVD

One owner reported poor quality with a plastic-like crystal, audible rattling, and significant timekeeping issues within 24 hours, deeming the Baltic HMS 002 - Gold PVD overpriced. Another commenter felt the design needed upgrades to its movement and crystal, noting a cheap feel to the dial's textured section. On balance, the consensus among the limited owner feedback is that the Baltic HMS 002 - Gold PVD has significant quality concerns for 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.
