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

    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.

    Interesting watch. Huge bargain given the work involved in making a skeletonized titanium case and low unit volume curved sapphire crystal .

    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
