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.

Sternglas Naos Solar

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos Solar for its elegant Bauhaus-inspired minimalist dial, slim profile, and value for money. The scratch-resistant curved sapphire crystal and functional date mechanism are noted as durable features, with one owner reporting good wear over a year. The solar power and accuracy are highlighted as practical advantages over automatic movements, which some find loud. However, opinions are split, with some owners finding the watch underwhelming and cheap-looking, like a toy, while others love its appearance in person and its clean, appealing design as a smartwatch alternative. The stock leather strap is described as decent but basic and potentially short for larger wrists, with one owner advising a third-party replacement for durability. One owner of a different variant noted the date font is too small to be useful.
