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.

Longines LEGEND DIVER 59

The Longines LEGEND DIVER 59 is widely praised for its warm colors and the 42mm no-date configuration, with owners appreciating its comfortable and versatile wearability. Reviewers highlight the matte black grained-texture dial and sandblasted hands, noting the COSC-certified L888.6 caliber offers a 72-hour power reserve, all at a $4,100 price point. Opinions on bracelet comfort vary, with some finding it bulky on smaller wrists while others prefer it over the mesh option. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the Longines LEGEND DIVER 59 a great release that preserves the model's identity.
