    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

    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 .

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.

      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.

      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$
