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 EDGE

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design EDGE for its stunning, design-forward skeletonized looks and surprisingly light wearability, with one owner noting it as a conversation starter. The finishing is also highlighted as a strong point, alongside its attractive book-style packaging. Concerns exist regarding the robustness and longevity of the Sea-Gull movement, with quality noted as potentially irregular. The included strap may be too small for some wrists, requiring aftermarket solutions. Overall, owners rate the CIGA Design EDGE highly for its unique aesthetic and value, especially when purchased at a sale price.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
