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.

Pagani Design PD-1736

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1736 for its tremendous value and stylish design, noting a deep blue sunburst dial, a solid Seiko NH39 movement, and tight stainless steel finishing. Some find the watch elegant and a great value at its price point, appreciating the blue to black fade dial and comfortable strap. However, community feedback flags several quality control issues, including sloppy or misaligned bezels, rough case finishing with sharp corners, and misaligned markers. The lume is consistently described as poor, and the strap, while comfortable for some, has been noted to tear with use and is considered stiff by others. The 24-hour subdial is deemed pointless by some owners, especially given the absence of a date window. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1736 highly for its appealing design and value, despite noted quality control inconsistencies.
