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 Tetra gold 27

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tetra gold 27 for its elegant, thin, and versatile square-cased design, comfortable wearability due to its light weight and lack of sharp corners, and attractive dial with blued hands. Some owners note the subdial is not recessed as found on other models, and one reviewer dislikes the minute markers in the dial corners. The buckle is described as generic and the suede strap gets dirty easily. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tetra gold 27 highly for its value and elegant, comfortable design.
