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 MASTER COLLECTION

Owners widely praise the Longines Master Collection for its excellent value, refined design, and high-quality finishing, with specific mentions of beautiful dials featuring engraved Breguet numerals and attractive vintage aesthetics. The watch is noted for its dressy feel and classic styling, with some owners preferring its wearability to other collections. However, some reviewers flag the subdial cutting off numerals, uninspiring crown and pushers on certain chronograph models, and a lack of micro-adjustments on the bracelet. Other owners find the case finishing homogenous and dial printing less refined, and the collection's traditional styling is sometimes seen as less popular than sportier alternatives. Accuracy figures are not consistently reported across sources, and water resistance is noted as 30m on one variant. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Longines Master Collection highly for its refined design and exceptional value, particularly for its dress watch offerings.

From video reviewers

The watch's lug-to-lug fit of 44.75mm is a notable combination with its 38.5mm width, making it suitable for smaller wrists. The Longines MASTER COLLECTION's annual calendar function can be finicky, requiring occasional manual adjustments to keep it accurate. Reviewers disagree on the watch's case size, with one reviewer mentioning 40mm and another mentioning 42mm.
