What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Hydra SIII

Owners and reviewers praise the Lorier Hydra SIII for its value, GMT functionality via the Miyota 9075 movement, and classic travel-diver aesthetics. Some reviewers note the finishing is simple or a tad rough around the edges, while others find it good for the price. Accuracy figures range from +7 to +8.5 seconds per day. The domed Hesalite crystal may exhibit distortion. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Lorier Hydra SIII highly for its feature set and value proposition in a travel-diver format.

CIGA Design SKELETON

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design SKELETON for its value and willingness to challenge established brands, with some surprised by its quality. One owner reports their CIGA Design Series Z in Black DLC has been perfect for over four years, keeping good time and looking neat. However, some find the skeletonized movement's visibility obscured by reflections due to the lack of anti-reflective coating on the crystal. One owner reported their CIGA Design Z Series Skeleton broke after three months with no customer service response. Overall, owners rate the CIGA Design SKELETON highly for its surprising quality and value proposition.
