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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 38 midnight blue

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is widely praised for its simple Bauhaus design, thin and light wearability, and German in-house manual-winding Alpha movement. Owners note the galvanized white silver-plated dial and tempered blue steel hands contribute to its appeal. The 37.5mm case is reported to wear larger than its dimensions, while some find the 35mm size perfect, others feel it lacks immediate appeal and appears "puny" compared to larger watches, though its details are appreciated up close. Overall, owners rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its understated Bauhaus design and comfortable wearability.
