What would it be like on a small 5" wrist as i really like it

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@raydevitt5018 It would be pretty big I think.

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!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I'm exactly the same. When I do wear it, I just can't stop staring at it. Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked the review. If you do end up getting one, please consider using my affiliate link, as it really does help to support the channel. Without costing you any extra.

I've had this watch for 2 years, it's a very very nice for the price! The packaging is indeed superb. By the way I love what you've done with your new thumbnails 👌

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah they did a really good job. You can tell that everything was well thought-out. Thanks mate. I thought it was about time I paid don't attention to my thumbnails.

Hello the watch always works ? Any problem

[@AlexanderB.]

I actually got one of these last summer, it was a bit of a drunk purchase...🤣 but I didn't regret it, the finishing is impressive, it wears surprisingly well and it's fun looking at the movement work.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

It's a very well made and fun piece for sure. Which colour strap did you go for?

[@AlexanderB.]

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I went for the red one.

had my eye on this watch for a while and just bought a new titanium z on ebay for $160... for a titanium automatic watch with a unique design, it's an absolute steal imo. came today and i couldn't be happier, it looks so great

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Nice. That is a good deal. I'm glad you're enjoying yours.

[@3rdstone1]

Great review as usual. I'd never wear one of these things personally, but I'm still always fascinated about all the details going on here. Great finishing, and a curved sapphire crystal is by it self a great bonus for this price.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I'm glad you liked it. Even if you don't want to buy the watches I review sometimes, hopefully they are still at least interesting enough to want to watch the videos.

[@akash_goel]

The watch is cool, but i find wired hands on a skeleton dial too hard to read.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

@@akash_goel Yeah I think so too. It can be a little hard to read at times. But you do get used to it somewhat though.

[@stavros_katsopr]

If watch's design from CIGA reach up to the point of their packaging maybe i'll consider getting one! So far they're not bad, you mainly can NOT tell the time, but wtf, do you need a watch for that??? The "book-alike" box though...!!! 😜🤣🤣🤣 Better late than never... Thanks mate, be well.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

It's definitely interesting packaging isn't it? The attention to detail carries over to the ready as well.

[@angelherrera6820]

Nice looking watch. I like big watches so this is something I would wear but I wish companies would stop putting their name on the side of their cases. Personally, I feel too much branding deters from the watch. Other than. I'm liking it. Great review. Cheers!

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Yeah I'm with you on the branding on the side of cases.

I think this works as an alternative dress watch piece. I hardly have the occasion.... But that's how I'd see myself wearing it. Would need a pretty dressy watch band...

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

That's certainly one option.

[@felo6035]

Very nice review my friend.... I am not into skeletonized watches but this one is growing on me. Well done mate!

Thank you very much mate. I tried adding some more shots of the watch in natural lighting conditions, to hopefully show it off better.

[@sweetcorn1968]

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.

[@sweetcorn1968]

Get me using big words before breakfast, must have swallowed a dictionary in my sleep.

Great review my friend I'm not real thrilled with the case shape but I do like skeleton watches also it seems to be decent quality and I do own a couple with Seagull movements and no problems in several years in the collection Thanks again my friend 👍

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

Thanks mate. Yeah this one won't be for everyone. They certainly didn't play it safe with the design.

[@scottk.9835]

Just rec'd mine...with the wrong colored band. It's just ok! It would be nice to have the watch shipped with a band fit for an adult rather than a child.

[@ayoub9410]

[@WesWatchRoom]

Had one last year and thought it was kinda cool but really agree with the legibility issue. You should check out their newer version of this too if you can.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

I'll see what I can do.

[@onit075]

Hello, any complaint about the noise? I watched other review and that guy complained a lot about the noise when the watch is selfing winding automatically. I am thinking to buy it but want to be sure about that noise. Thanks in advance.

[@SF_Curious]

Movement? Hackable?

[@watchsixto]

I love skeleton watch this one looks great definitely a watch to keep an eye on

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

It's a really good skeleton watch isn't it?

[@stevemorrison8427]

I want to buy a sofa z watch but I can’t because I cannot find the correct discount code to put in Please someone help me

[@alexanderghouri3763]

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

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

That's unfortunate. I'm glad you got it sorted out though.

[@chrisr8112]

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.

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

That's a fair point about the branding.

[@paulbushjr8335]

I normally skip skeletonized styles, but I may have to grab this ...It would be very different compared to my Tissots , Mido , an Orient pieces

I'm not normally the biggest fan myself, but i feel like this is definitely one of the better looking ones out there. If you do end up getting one, please consider using my affiliate link. It doesn't cost you anymore, but helps to support the channel.

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 🤡

[@HonestWatchReviewsHWR]

That's a fair point actually.
