What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-010

Owners praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH's elegant 37mm size, symmetrical bicompax layout, and crisp chronograph pushers with a swift reset. The salmon dial is described as copper-toned with highly polished, legible Breguet numerals. Some owners find the 13mm thickness and 43mm lug-to-lug wearable, while others note the 14.3mm thickness detracts from wearability. The TMI NE86A movement has a claimed 45-hour power reserve and accuracy ranging from +25/-15 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the KUOE ROYAL SMITH for its retro charm and enjoyable chronograph operation, despite some reservations about its thickness.

From video reviewers

The Miyota Cal. 9122 automatic movement with triple calendar complications is a key strength. The watch features a vertical brushed ivory dial with black subdials and Breguet numerals. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses or points of disagreement.

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.
