    I’m just now finding out about this beautiful watch!! I really love it! Simply because of the design, wearable case dimensions, and it’s a skeleton! You can actually see it working. I absolutely love/appreciate mechanical movements! The fact that the little gears, and the main spring all working together to show time. It’s beautiful! I could just sit down and look at it for a while! All for a really reasonable price too!
    Thank you for this awesome review! I’m definitely going to get one soon!
    You did a great job reviewing this piece. Thank you!

    That really is an impressive item. This has been well thought through from the outset. The packaging is definitely a cut above the usual AliExpress merchandise, even the way watch is presented in the packaging has a more premium feel about it and the attention to detail is superb. Skeletonised watches have never appealed to me due their inherent illegibility but this made me click the link. As for the Ciga Design on case side, easily hidden under a cuff.

    I bought 9ne and somehow after wearing it the spring managed to wind itself so tight that is stopped and I couldn't get it going again.
    Ciga wanted nothing to do with it and told me to directly contact the movement maker, that was a no go too. Ended up paying $100 AU for it to be fixed locally. Still love it though, I went for the red strap

    I like the idea of this watch, but find the branding a bit shouty, if this were an invicta it would get commented on. Not sure where I stand. Watches that look better at the back, is the strap reversible? Also given the amount of time it takes to read the time, might be quicker to ring the speaking clock.

    I think that if, and it’s a big if, I was going to wear this watch it’d have to be on the red strap, which nicely accents the red hands. It such a loud piece I think you’d be as well going the whole hog with a loud strap too 🤡
