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 GORILLA

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design GORILLA for its incredible wrist presence, unique skeletonized design with purple accents, and exceptional value under $400, with one owner highlighting its quality and scratch resistance from Gorilla glass. Reviewers note the watch's striking, Hublot-esque aesthetic and shock-resistant suspension system. However, legibility can be challenging, lume is weak, and the CD-01 movement gains approximately 17 seconds per day with a 40-hour power reserve. Community sentiment is divided, with some finding the design "hideous" while others enthusiastically recommend it as affordable, interesting, and cool. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CIGA Design GORILLA highly for its bold, unconventional design and accessible price point.

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.
