What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CIGA Design HUNTER

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.

From video reviewers

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.

Maen Manhattan 37

Owners widely praise the Maen Manhattan 37's visually rich dial and refined finishing, with some noting its sleek, trim 37mm case and impressive timekeeping. The bracelet receives mixed reactions, with some finding it cheap and lacking compared to alternatives, while others appreciate its taper and overall value. One reviewer highlights the Ultra-Thin variant's slim 7.1mm case and 100m water resistance, powered by a manually wound ETA Pesaux 7001 movement. Conversely, another owner reports a Ronda 150 movement running fast at +18s/d to +24s/d, and some with 6.5-inch wrists find the 47mm lug-to-lug distance wears larger than expected. The Maen Manhattan 37 offers excellent value with its Art Deco-inspired design and remarkable light play on the dial. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Maen Manhattan 37 highly for its visually rich dial and refined finishing at the price.
