What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Maen Skymaster 38 MKIII

The Maen Skymaster 38 MKIII is praised for its refined case, impressive fit and finish, and compact 38mm size, which offers a premium feel with a sharp, legible dial and well-executed applied markers. Reviewers note the sweet winding action and the vintage-inspired brown sunburst dial with dauphine hands and lollipop register pointers. The watch is powered by a manual-wind Sellita SW510Mb movement with a 63-hour power reserve. Accuracy figures vary, with one reviewer reporting +7 seconds per day and another stating a tolerance of +/-15 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Maen Skymaster 38 MKIII for its refined vintage-inspired design and compact dimensions at its price point.

From video reviewers

The 38mm case size is a key strength for the Maen Skymaster 38 MKIII. Reviewers noted the excellent quality-price ratio for a Swiss-made chronograph.

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.
