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.

Zelos Comet 39

Owners widely praise the Zelos Comet 39 for its wearable 39mm size, thin profile under 10mm thanks to its manual-wind Sellita SW215 movement, and its captivating dial with a deep starburst effect. The winding action is described as a joy, and the watch is considered a stunner for its price, blending modern and vintage aesthetics. Some owners note frustration with Zelos's limited production runs leading to quick sell-outs. One owner found the logo childlike, while another experienced strap-rubbing issues with the short lugs, which were resolved with a Milanese bracelet. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Comet 39 highly for its excellent value and striking dial design.
