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 LEGEND OF SERPENT

The CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT features an onyx case and a unique dial design with a gold snake indicating hours and minutes. Reviewers note the CD-04-S automatic movement has a 41-hour power reserve and the watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. The silver version uses a 925 silver snake and a CD-04-E movement, while the gold version features an 18K gold snake and the CD-04-S movement. On balance, reviewers highlight the LEGEND OF SERPENT's distinctive dial and case design as its primary appeal.

From video reviewers

The unique case design and 18k gold serpent hand are notable features of the CIGA Design LEGEND OF SERPENT. The watch's movement accuracy is also a strength, as it shares its movement with the award-winning Blue Planet titanium predecessor.

Straton Daily Driver MKII

Owners praise the Straton Daily Driver MKII for its AR-coated sapphire crystal and reliable Miyota 6S21 quartz movement at its price, with the comfortable Barton band fitting well for daily wear. The watch features a clean white dial with double panda chronograph subdials, stick indices, and a thin black bezel that owners find visually appealing. One caveat is availability — the watch is difficult to find for sale. Overall, the consensus is that the Straton Daily Driver MKII offers strong value through its sapphire crystal and quartz reliability, marred primarily by scarcity in the market.
