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.

Zelos Great White 43

Owners widely praise the Zelos Great White 43's "unbelievable" and "amazing" lume, particularly on the carbon and Frost variants. The Miyota 9015 movement and 300m water resistance are noted features. Some owners find the 43mm size large, while others report it wears well. Opinions are divided on colorways, with some disappointed by the absence of a "Nebula" option and others finding the "Arctic" version striking. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Great White 43 highly for its exceptional lume and robust specifications at the price point.
