I think this is the third Ciga Design watch I have had the pleasure of reviewing on the channel, and I have kinda liked them all, they sure are different. Not for everyone, clearly! But judging by the success of the campaign, this one had found its target market and no mistake. There are a few moans and niggles, but nothing I can't forgive, for 1/1000 of the price of that Richard Mille..... Cheers, Jody

Hello! My name is James and thanks to your channel I've started my watch collection I'm 15 and have a seiko sea urchin and a G shock gg1000 both because of how highly you value the brands I love both of them, I've started saving for one of these as I adore the way Richard mille watches look and I'm a big racing fan (mclaren are sponsored by Richard mille) so hoping to pick one of these up next year. Thanks for all of the great recommendations! Cheers
The Kittens of Rotor Noise Doom make me so happy.
We're starting to see more and more titanium watches in the affordable range. One thing this watch has over the new Oris skeletonized titanium is that you can see the balance wheel and escapement from the front.
When I wear a watch I like to be able to read the time...AT A GLANCE!!! This thing I couldn’t read at a stare! Not for me I suppose, but I would like a nice open heart. I love watching that mainspring spin!!! 💞
I just received mine - love it ! Super comfortable with the silicone straps! My favorite watch (out of all my copy collection!). The Seagull movement is an excellent positive! Beautiful watch!!!’

Whoever loves watches should definitely adding this watch to their collection... I know I am... thanks for the awesome review!!
Had never heard of them so their promotion with JOMW obviously working. Like the watch, added to my favourites 👍
Great begin of my day! Cheers Jody!
Jody, you’re killing me, more specifically, my bank account. Now I want one of these. If you just want to tell the time, then just wear a Casio F-91 everyday. This is a nice piece to look at, more like a piece of jewelry but you can still tell the time.
Doing band adjustments on my (1st.) Loreo purchase. A GREEN BEZEL BLACK FACE I ordered through your link. 1:30A.M. where I'm at, it looks great! Thanks Jody! Yes! The titanium is nice-
I'd convinced myself I didn't like skeleton watches, but realised I just didn't like chunks hacked out of a normal dial. Now I have two Ciga Design watches and I love them - it actually made me go and learn a little about how mechanical watches actually function. Now I'm hooked.

Cool!!! Finally reviewing the Z Series. I have the SS version.
been waiting for you to review this Jody!
They have nailed the advertising, seeing then everywhere now! Strangely reminds me of an engine...wouldn't mind adding one of these into my collection
Love this watch jody saw that on instagram went to KZread to look for review and you came up my favourite watch reviewer 🙂👍 Happy to know that you got one Micro lens 🥰
I like it! Nice change from the usual divers. Cheers 👍🏻
Thanks for the Perfect Video. I bought After 2 stainless steel Z-Serie watches in red And Blue and also This titanium Z-Serie watch. Now i have only to wait 😊
I have the stainless version of this watch and i very much like it. Did a review on it a bit back. Don't feel the need to get this one however, like my heavier watches. 😉

Hmm. Interesting. Don't know how I feel about this. However definitely a conversation starter. Thanks
I like it. Love seeing the guts of a watch working. Would look better with a red nato strap. Great review as always Jody 👍
A very special Chinese special. Looks great!
Love this... couldn't find one in the uk. Im definitely going to get one before deciding on the spirit of big bang . Good review!
Imho outstanding watch for its price! Thanks for the review 👍
Just one more watch....... Just one more word........ Stunning!!!
I'm actually considering adding this piece to my collection
Thanks Jody, I signed up. I was disappointed when the Blackbird SE wasn’t fully funded so this will fill that gap while I am waiting for the re-re-launch.
Wow you got it so fast! I am one of the backers here! It is amazing what you can get for less than USD 300! Not adding a date is an excellent choice. I can set it and just go. Date function is grossly overstated IMO. Looking so good in Titanium! That muted grey is something i like. Low profile while premium. Had too many SS watches so this is a nice change. Buy this if you like 1) Skeletonised watches 2) Barrel shaped 3) Something premium feeling but affordable 4) Simple reliable movement instead of multi complications 5) Affordable and don't want to pay Swiss premium for a watch 6) Titanium matte look, and the lightness of it.
This was a very lenient for you Jordy, considering how you've blasted other watches for legibility and rotor sound before.
Just ordered mine with a blue strap. Brilliant review; funny & informative at the same time. Thanks man, keep them coming. ;)

Great video! Depth of focus was a bit shallow. Have you tried stopping down the aperture a few points and increasing exposure instead?
This tells you how much Richard mille has in margins!!!!
Richard Mille watches are so expensive that even the Apollo program seems like a bargain in comparison. I'll never grow tired of taking a dig at ridiculously priced watches.
Having 60+ diver watches. I'm ready to buy a few skeletons. 7 are on the way including this. I quit the drugs and alcohol. Watches are my only addiction now. Much better investment and no more trips to the nut house or emergency room. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Industrial and noisy, the Perfect Watch to annoy, spinout Your Snoring Yuppy, just bought a Grand Seiko Duty-free Mate, on a twenty two hour flight! I could live with one, love the see-through split cushion along with the dressy crown guards. Great Show JOMW.
A cigar for the man. Well done. You could do a video of the £70 round all clear version. I have one and love it. Excellent timekeeping too.
Interesting watch. Huge bargain given the work involved in making a skeletonized titanium case and low unit volume curved sapphire crystal . I think that raspy rotor noise would drive me bonkers over time, but still it's great to look at. It's mind boggling what Chinese manufacturing can do at bargain price points.

Chris Peek Exactly. And they think this watch is a junk with a bias
Extremely tempting for the interesting look and cool skeletonization, alas, it's not really my look or style. I don't have that level of "just for fun" money atm. :( Thanks for sharing excellent content as always!!!

As of 1000 hours on the U.S. east coast on 12/12/2019, there was only one more $259 watch left. The count was up to 947 backers.
Recieved a stainless steel version last week. Great piece
Wow, now there are 1819 backers (5 days to go on campaign). Be interesting to compare the sample with a pre-order :)
Love the fact it's not preposterously big. Wears quite well for this type of watch. Nice one Jody!

Hello, great reviews,please keep it up.Quick questionfriend? both myself & a select few are in the process of bringing our watch passion to reality can you give us What do you look for when you review a micro-Brand watch? any thourghts would be great. thank you friend?
I really like that watch. I wish I had the money right now to get one.
Almost tempted.....Close, but no Ciga
Cool wall clock!
Its quiet amazing how cheap the internals of this watch lock for its prize and keeping in mind that, being able to see the internals is the whole point of this watch.
Coincidence, just showed the Mrs terminator 2 - amazing shirt again!!
lovely packaging
I've never really been a fan of skeletal watches. but this is nice for the price.
Yes had buy a few of these on crowdfunding Jody, for the design, they presented well in the box like book but I also thought the band looked terrible on the campaign...but was going to gift 🎁 one or two therefore replacing the crappy pretend luxury band with a red nato I had thought 💭. Great 👍 review as always, I think it is a great conversation piece on the wrist, no RM which you can spend up 1M+ USD on, I saw one for 850K the other day that looked like plastic that could of passed for a swatch if it didn’t have a tourneau case.
Very nice watch but I wish the silicon leather had a lock clip instead of the regular buckle.im gone buy it anyway👍🏽
the design is nice, but being only 3atm waterproof......it's a shame for me. would be nice if it was at least 5 or 10atm waterproof!!
@ivan_says_hi
4 жыл бұрын
You should have absolutely no problem swimming (but not diving!) in this watch. 3 atm is enough pressure to pop your ears if you dive that low too quickly. It is certainly not child's play! Plus why on earth would you want to dive in this watch?? It would be completely impossible to read under water anyways and everyone who is serious about diving nowadays wears a dive computer not a mechanic watch lol.
Right off the bat...they could avoid the skeleton hands to improve visibility; simple fence post hands with the current red & white design would be good along with a minimum of 50-100atm would bring some peace of mind. Apart from that this looks like a solid piece

Wasn’t expecting to hear dialogue in the opening, but a bit of Arnie was indeed appropriate in this watch’s review! On the one hand, I agree that a $250 titanium Richard Mille homage is a nice value, but I’m not fond of skeleton-ized watches. Great review though, Jody!
i think it looks great id wear it
Really like it! What's the maximal length of the strap?
I'm weirdly loving it
Ciga design means something hilarious in my language. Pretty appropriate too.
would look nice with a bright red or orange rubber strap, would look even more RM ish
Not a bad RM inspired watch, but I still fancy the Apple watch style skeleton they came out with. It can also be had on Ebay for $190
You can see right through the watch he says. Yes in more ways than one if you know what I mean. Err, the watch is a bit of a non event, and that is me being compimentery. Great review as usual Sir 👍 Tam.
I've just managed to pick up one of the original Ciga Design skeleton watches (apple watch shape) for $100 in the AliExpress black Friday sale, now comes the slow boat from China part. I've had to buy a Spinnaker just to tide me over in the mean time, maybe Just one more...
Enjoyed the video I do not like Richard Miller .. so this watch is not my taste. We can say this video adds a nice flavour to channel.
I like that watch!
I have the SS version only a week ago. Looking for the looks and its a good watch. For the price, can't complaint much. Legibility not a strong point for a skeleton. The rubber strap is nice, I got the red one but the leather is rubbish!
Really cool.
Jody,what do you think of Zeno brand watches,have you ever had one or seen one ,thanks ,great channel ,
is the titanium version already out or is it still in "crowdfunding" phase? and if already out,does anyone know if it can be purchased thru amazon?
Looks way more expensive than the price tag, i like it
I have looked at this for a while now and I don’t know if it’s better to buy the titanium version instead of the stainless steel?
I'd coordinate the strap color with the red accents on the handset.
How did you get that, it says on their website to pre order it
just bought this and the whirring is sooo loud, also it does a high pitch click every now and again that I'm not sure I'll be able to get over...
It is a very attractive watch, but I wish they could have possibly colored the minute/hour markers in red (to match the hands) and possibly spung for a NH35 instead of a Seagul.
@simonbenn5340
2 жыл бұрын
I'd rather have the seagul over an nh35 by Sieko. The Seagul holds better time but both last around 25 to 30 years if maintained right. Might need a new spring about 20 years as the time gets worse its time to change the spring which isn't that hard to do.... great watch! I got the gold one for 300$
Wow that was kinda noisy! Sounded like a loose fan belt! I do like the design though. Great review once again.
Can you check if the crystal is really sapphire?
Why is all the reviewers hating on the leather strap I thought it looked nice.
What a good watch !!! I wish i have enough money to buy it 😂 because currently corona virus made me to stay at house (cannot work) 😂😂
I think this watch is one you either love it, or hate it! I'm not digging the band(s) it comes with either. I think I'll wait on this one.... it is cool though!
I’m sorry I don’t need any more watches I like it but I can’t I counted somewhere around 80Then remembered some I forgot about I need to reduce the volume of my collection
Are you reviewing the new x as well? Thanks
I looked at this one before in the stainless version. I wonder about the slots in the side, dirt is going to get in the slots, and how are you going to clean it out. I have the Xiaomi Ciga Design skeleton watch, the square one, in both silver and black (yes two watches). They are well designed, and more skeletonized than this one, and I really like them.
i hope ciga does a tool watch soon
Nice content as always, Jody. Really glad that I subscribed to your channel! 👍
Certainly looks like a watch the Terminator would wear once its "organic" skin is all melted away and only the metal skeleton is left. Terminator looks at the time on his Ciga Design Z Series Titanium watch and says, "I'll be back!"
Will you be reviewing the ciga series x?
Can you please do a review on the Tsar bomba?

Saw this and had to have one in Titanium - if the counter is to be believed only 2 left now - of course it just could be a marketing gimmick - but I would have been gutted if i'd have missed it.
My daughter's boyfriend really loves the Richard Mille but like 99% of civilized society, can't afford one so this is the PERFECT substitute for a Christmas present. Cheers
