What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

RZE Resolute

The RZE Resolute is praised for its impressive build quality and finishing in a bead-blasted titanium case, offering a crisp dial and clear lines. Reviewers highlight its comfortable and balanced wear, citing the 36mm titanium case and wide lugs. The watch features extensive lume, though one review notes it is slightly below other RZE watches due to thinner luminous elements. Its stated accuracy range is -10 to +30 seconds per day, and the Miyota 82S0 movement's winding action is described as grainy by one reviewer, while another notes the beige lume is less legible than white. On balance, reviewers find the RZE Resolute offers impressive value and build quality for its price.

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.
