Titanium Skeleton Watch for $230 - CIGA MY Titanium Edition Watch [REVIEW]

[@joshuawolfe8865]

That packaging is next level. Very cool to see something so sharp and creative.

[@CasualWatchReviews]

I agree with you and honestly, it makes more of an impression that the fake wooden boxes that are a pain to store away. A lot of watch for the money.

[@TedCornish]

Sam I'm a big fan of CIGA and that one's a beauty. Great review 👍👍

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Hey, this is honestly the first I have ever heard of them and not usually the type of watch I review (usually do tool watches as you know) but sometimes there is a great story and an even better design that you just can't pass up!

[@christopherbrunson5799]

Ever do a search for "skeleton titanium automatic watch"? Yes, they do exist but mostly in the $7k plus range. As a titanium watch collector, it is nice to see something in the lower end that covers multiple categories! It is rather oddly shaped though...

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Yep, it’s a quietly design. I have this to a colleague at work who I knew this would just suits because of his style... and he loves it!

[@herbmerced7780]

Kinda cool! The packaging alone is interesting!

[@CasualWatchReviews]

I agree, for a sub $300 watch the presentation of the watch was pretty cool.

[@michaelhulbert7360]

Really like the case and the hidden lugs, but all the extra hash marks kill it for me. How do you tell the time?

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Hi Michael, maybe I didn't do a good job od showing it in the upload, but it's not difficult in person to tell the time on it. The only issue is getting mesmerized by the movement!

[@wb3213]

You don't... It tells you!

[@christopherbrunson5799]

Well, I just bought into the indiegogo Z hollow titanium skeleton automatic watch. I hope this turns out as I have never crowd funded a product before. I do find it odd that an established company would only crowd fund $10k and would have 600% of it's goal in 5 days...

[@CasualWatchReviews]

I have not heard of that brand. You should get the watch or indiegogo will refund your cash I think. I have only ever used Kickstarter before however.

[@christopherbrunson5799]

@@CasualWatchReviews It is a Ciga. Same box and all but a much better looking design. You should check it out

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Oh of course I see it now looks like a Richard Mille slightly.

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

That’s a crazy looking design, not my cup of tea, but Kudos for thinking outside the box!

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Yep, its not the sort of thing I review on the channel but it was that interesting of a design I couldn't pass it up!

[@stevenwymor1398]

The Casual Watch Reviewer of course, if it was offered to me for review, I would have done the same. Braun has been using a lugless design too in some of the quartz models but in a much more manageable size, although, to be honest I never wear mine. For a killer lugless design in a watch that size, take a look at the Seiko SRPC11. I took mine off the bracelet and wear it on a Barton Elite Silicone strap. The Seiko is one of the best watches I’ve acquired in the past few years.

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Hey Steve, that SRPC11 has a bit of a similar look to the old Omega Dynamics, looks good

[@tods.9947]

I think that it is a very interesting industrial design concept. A bit big and not my normal interest. But cool review.

[@CasualWatchReviews]

It was too interesting a design to pass up, so I couldn't resist!

[@TinBin-Craig]

looks very nice id wear it cheers

[@CasualWatchReviews]

hey Craig, I think whoever buys these watches is really going to like them!

[@rahulpawar4461]

I brought this into steel version at about 300$ and this worth it.

[@krzysztofhadala9126]

Looks good. However, 200$ for a watch representing a brand l never heard before and made in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 is a little bit too much for me to be honest. I’ve got no guarantee how long would it work. What’s a diameter or height of it? You mentioned about 45mm but it is a width with a crown. So technically it would be 41-42 mm l am afraid. Anyway, job well done 👍.

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Hi Krzysztof, it's almost a circular design, (first I have reviewed like this on the channel) the crown is almost recessed into the case. The dial has a concaved shape so it gives the illusion of a bigger watch on the wrist but it incredibly light.

[@FloridaClay]

An interesting piece and a lot for the money if the price stays around $200. A bit too large for my taste though.

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Hey, thanks for commenting and watching. When they go live on Kickstarter I will add the link. If they stay around $200 its a lot of watch for the money. It is certainly not for everyone but the people that do like it will love it I have a feeling!

[@stevenwymor1398]

If it were 40mm and NOT skeletonized, I might like it.

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Hey Steven, it was too interesting of a design to pass up this one. It wears a bit smaller but it is thick, I think to allow for that concaved dial. This is the second version they have made so maybe they will reduce the size.

[@bboooobbyy]

If it wasn't skeletonized whats the point?

[@stevenwymor1398]

G-dawg apparently you have trouble imagining anything that’s not right in front of you.

[@bboooobbyy]

@@stevenwymor1398 That's not it at all lol. My point is that skeletonization is the only thing differentiating this watch from the rest of the field!

[@stevenwymor1398]

@@bboooobbyy are you kidding? A dish style dial, a lugless design, skeletonized hands, and a titanium case - that's not enough product differentiation for you? The skeletonized dial just makes it look tacky and nearly illegible as a time telling device.

[@stephentaylor6320]

Ok sam not for me but its decent value if you like it.

[@CasualWatchReviews]

Hey Stephen, yep its a different watch for sure, I couldn't pass up the chance to review this!

[@wb3213]

How big is your wrist?

[@CasualWatchReviews]

7.2 inch wrist!

[@wb3213]

@@CasualWatchReviews Thanks

[@WhoIsSerafin]

Not my cup of tea at all. The packaging is great but I’ve made a conscious decision unless it comes from Hong Kong I will try and buy nothing from China if I can help and specially luxury items.

[@CasualWatchReviews]

I think there is certainly some clarity that should be given to how the watch industry works in the Asian countries, maybe that would make a good video.
