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.

Seiko 5 Sports Field series

The Seiko 5 Sports Field series is praised for its value, offering an accessible explorer-style watch with a GMT complication and excellent legibility thanks to LumiBrite on the dial and bezel. The watches feature a 41mm stainless steel case, 100m water resistance, and are powered by either the 4R36 or 4R34 movement, both with a 41-hour power reserve. One reviewer notes the inclusion of a compass bezel with a lumed pearl and fully lumed Arabic numerals on the dial for the non-GMT models. Overall, reviewers consider the Seiko 5 Sports Field GMT models good value under 500 euros.
