Thanks, I have found a nice looking blk leather strap with red stitching. I'm contemplating selling the ciga red strap and black straps to fund it. But I think the blk and red one will be staying on it for now
I ordered the stainless steel version of the Ciga Design Z on AliExpress since it was 157 USD shipped via DHL to my country, which is a pretty good deal. I was contemplating on ordering the black or orange silicone strap from Indiegogo for the titanium version, as it would fit the stainless steel one as well.
Hi Martyn, good review 👍🏼 Quick question, did you have to pay any import tax/duty with using Indiegogo or do they pay that at they end? And how long were you waiting for shipment?
Shipment wise I did wait around 3 to 4 months. But I bought when the pandemic was in full effect. From the offset they were honest about shipping being delayed. Once I had a DHL number it was around a week. And that has prompted the memory I did pay tax as it was to DHL direct.
Great review & look forward to mine arriving. I opted for orange as a bit of a statement piece, but didnt consider the red. Wondering whether you could share the link for that alternative stainless steel band?
Also try this one, this I think would look great as well www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Waterproof-Leather-Release-Spring/dp/B07PWBCRZZ/ref=pd_gwm_ci_mcx_mr_hp_m_1?pf_rd_s=blackjack-experiment-1&pf_rd_t=Gateway&pf_rd_i=mobile&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pd_rd_wg=xb6RM&pd_rd_r=TH6RANGVM501RZP5W3YQ&pd_rd_w=bGSnC&pf_rd_r=TH6RANGVM501RZP5W3YQ&pf_rd_p=18c9def1-6bdc-4356-baaf-918f928ba45c&pd_rd_i=B07PWBCRZZ
I have the same watch, and black rubber strap. Having watched your video, I liked the black and red strap, and managed to find the exact same watch strap on AliExpress for 3 quid, including delivery, which I bought. Thanks for the recommendation of the strap.
@@martynwilliams4767 not sure if I'd be interested in the black leather one. More interested in the black silicone one as that has a nicer pattern. Yeah, I wish the underside of the red was there. It'd look better.
@@martynwilliams4767 if ever you're willing to sell the black silicone strap (or bundle all 3 for a good deal) and can ship internationally with DHL or FedEX, please let me know. I can also provide a EU or US address to ship to if that's cheaper and just use a forwarding service. :)
@@martynwilliams4767 I'm in the Philippines. It might be cheaper if I provide you with my EU or US forwarder shipping address. Of course, depends how much and which straps. I appreciate it. I could send you an email if you want to continue discussing elsewhere.
So doesn't state directly xiaomi own ciga. But appears they are possibly linked to them, see below article www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_introduces_tseries_ciga_design_mechanical_watch-news-38234.php
Great review! Looks really sharp on that red racing strap :)

Nice review Martyn. I've ordered the Z series DLC which will hopefully arrive sometime this month.
Thank you, it is a great looking watch. You'll enjoy it. 🙂

Should take you to the link 👍
Perfect, much appreciated!
Hi Martyn, would you happen to have a link for the Black & Red strap that you bought from Amazon? I think it will look sick on the DLC

Glad you found it helpful Anthony. 👍
Thanks for showing that red strap. Man, the currency symbols are so tacky. Haha.
Yeah it isn't to my taste, the underside is better than the normal strap. Some people love the design, but wasn't for me.
Do you plan on selling the default black silicone strap? I'd order it from Indiegogo but they won't ship with DHL and local EMS would take months.
I am contemplating selling the red, black and leather strap to it. As don't see myself wearing them.

@@mikes41720 what country are you in? As I'll do some quick research to post costs.

Box looks like a pizza hut box 😂
is this the same as xiaomi ciga watch z series?
Xiaomi are a different brand, so without doing some research I'd say no as a starting point
@@martynwilliams4767 wow means xiaomi is copying this Ciga Products? my thou is Xiaomi take over Ciga brand maybe

Found a better answer with some digging 👍

Eh?
the straps looks cheap like who speaks in the video
I think you're agreeing with the comments? I didn't like the straps that came with it. They all looked cheap especially the leather one.
