CIGA DesignZ Series Stainless Steel Skeleton Automatic Mechanical Watch for Men

Great watch for the price, shipping was very so is the only negative

I am very impressed with this Z series Ciga Design skeleton watch. The packaging was secure and the presentation box was certainly above average. The watch looks incredible (and I wasn’t a fan of skeleton watches) and feels solid and weighty in the hand. I bought a couple of after-market straps for mine to give it a sportier look. The time keeping is acceptable to me for a watch in this price range (I gain about 10 seconds a day right now). The design is just eye-catching; I’m an F1 fan and was wanting a RM style watch on a budget. This watch does it for me. I’m loving wearing this watch more than I thought I would. I was concerned it would be too big and clumsy on my smaller wrist. Nope; it fits and contours nicely for my tastes. A friend of mine had bought this watch a while back, but in silver, and I was interested in it. I thought it was unique and stylish, but I went with the BLC model. It’s a tad easier to read the hands on the black version. Great value!!!

If you're brave enough to take off the caseback, you can clean and do minor repairs. I'm certain it will void the 12mo warranty that their UK website advertises, but I'll take the risk of fixing something if I can avoid dealing with a warranty claim.A big benefit of the skeleton design is you can see when something isn't working. Mine had stopped winding despite being in an automatic winder. It worked fine if I wound it by hand. By looking through the caseback, it was clear to see that the rotor wasn't turning, so I got out my micro screwdrivers and removed the 4 tiny screws holding on the back. That allowed me to carefully turn the rotor which freed up whatever bit of metal or dust had been holding it locked in place and its turning freely again.This has been my daily watch since June including sweaty vacations to Rome and New Orleans, so I'm satisfied with the function of such an affordable and attractive piece.

I have been looking at Ciga design for sometime since I am a fan of mechanical automatic watches actually it’s the only watches I wear you are going to spend the extra money when you want an automatic watch but they are so much more accurate so onto this watch after researching it and seeing how innovative this company is hell they actually went up against the big dogs and are winning awards on watch design very impressive very beautiful watch extremely accurate and precise I highly recommend you buy the watch it will be a very nice addition to the collection

Came extremely well packed and presented . I really like the watch. Two things I'm not so keen on - I have and 8 inch wrist the straps are only just long enough to accommodate me . I'd like them longer.The hands need to be painted all the way so they stand out more. This would make the watch easier to read.
