What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Kobold Soarway Diver 43

Owners report the Kobold Soarway Diver 43 hugs the wrist well with no noticeable lug overhang on a 6.5-inch wrist and possesses a strong, non-flashy wrist presence. One owner experienced persistent functional problems with their watch, including the second hand contacting the minute hand, which continued even after servicing and a warranty replacement. This specific 43mm model is noted as the only one factory-fitted with an unsigned bracelet. Overall, owners value the Kobold Soarway Diver 43 for its comfortable wearability and distinctive wrist presence, despite some experiencing significant functional issues.

CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.

From video reviewers

The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.
