What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Tissot Heritage 1973

The Tissot Heritage 1973 is widely praised for its faithful vintage aesthetic, featuring a tonneau or cushion case with contrasting finishes and a panda dial with orange accents. Owners and reviewers alike appreciate its compelling remake of a 1970s racing watch, with some specifically noting the attractive dial and case curves. The watch is powered by the ETA 7753 automatic chronograph movement, offering a 60-hour power reserve. However, some find its 43mm or 44mm diameter to be large-wearing, and one owner reported difficulty setting the date and a chronograph reset that is consistently one second off. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner noting 10-15 seconds per day. The radial brushed case finish, while visually appealing, is noted as being prone to scratches that are difficult to polish out. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot Heritage 1973 highly for its tempting value and credible vintage racing style.
