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.

Phoibos Apollo Dlc

The Phoibos Apollo Dlc is lauded for its lightweight, scratch-resistant titanium case and unique granular black dial texture. Owners praise its comfortable 41mm x 48mm x 12.5mm dimensions and exceptional lume performance. However, the rocket-shaped hands are noted as making time-telling difficult in low light, and the non-tapering bracelet is a drawback for some. Some users question its value proposition, with one noting that a tourbillon can be found at the same price point as an NH35-powered Phoibos. Overall, owners appreciate the Phoibos Apollo Dlc for its distinctive design and comfortable titanium build, despite some functional and value concerns.
