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 Classic Dream

Owners widely praise the Tissot Classic Dream for its exceptional value, citing its traditional dress watch aesthetic, sapphire crystal, and Swiss movement. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its superb wearability, with one source noting its 8.1mm thickness and another its 40mm case size. The dazzling white dial with Roman numerals and the dark blue sunray dial are frequently mentioned as attractive features. However, some owners desire an automatic movement and higher water resistance than the standard 50 meters. The silver dial version's indexes are noted to lack lume and visibility. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot Classic Dream highly for its classic design and value proposition.
