My first automatic watch
Comes in a large high quality embossed book style box which is suspended with foam inside another shipping box for extra protection. You get two straps with quick release pins which are a Milanese mesh style strap and a leather strap and fitting them takes a few seconds. I was made aware of ciga designs when i was offered the type U Blue Planet to review as part of the amazon vine program but alas i was beaten to it by another vine reviewer so i could not order it but i was intrigued about ciga and after some research i discovered they have been awarded some pretty prestigious awards for several of their watch designs and pretty much all of the video reviews ive watched have all praised ciga design and given positive reviews across the board so i decided to get this type c as a starter purchase and as my first automatic watch. I did manage to grab it with a decent discount paying £133 and im really happy with it. This Type C is certainly not the easiest to read the time with at first to be honest but after a while you get used to it. The look of the double sided see through case showing all the intricate parts of the seagull mechanism is just stunning and ive had quite a few comments from people when they notice it. Quality of the entire watch is really high for this price point and while it is just a basic time piece with only hours, minutes and seconds it functions perfectly and keeps pretty accurate time. I prefer to use the Milanese mesh strap myself which is comfortable to wear, easy to adjust to size and is even see through giving room for your skin to breathe which means its ideal for wearing all day. The watch does have a decent weight to it due to the thick steel case but its not overly weighty but enough to know your wearing it. I have built up quite a large collection of watches due to being a vine reviewer and while i do have a few gems in my collection among the nasty cheap ones this Type C is way above anything i have been fortunate to get for free via the amazon vine program and im now looking at grabbing a type X or Z next ... The U is just way out of my budget ... for now, but having caught the watch collecting bug i guess its just a matter of time before i convince myself to release all the dinosaurs in my wallet 😁 The only real negatives i can see is it has no lume so reading the time at night is not possible and the sapphire crystal is quite reflective in bright conditions. For the cost and quality you get here this is certainly worth considering as a purchase especially at the current offer price of £125.

Stealth Classy watch
Very wearable for every day use. Keeps good time. Original design, subtle and cool and not at all bling, which I really like. I haven't tried it underwater yet..and don't really want to anyway, it's not action man watch, it's a watch afficionado watch &..no one notices it on your wrist..except you! It's a stealth class watch

Great timepiece
Love this watch, it’s a nice size, the face is beautiful with all the guts visible, been using for around 3-4 weeks and it doesn’t seem to loose time comes with the bracelet strap and a leather one the leather one is the better option in my opinion. Overall really nice timepiece would recommend.

Nice looking watch.
Love this watch. Great quality at a really good price for an automatic watch. Comes with 2 straps and the tool needed to change straps if you need it. Quality watch box to with certificate and I don't have to bother with replacing batteries again. I like this watch that much I bought a different ciga watch that's just as nice. These really are good looking quality watches.

Underwhelmed
I tried this instead of the jade series and this whilst working perfectly and packaged well feels a little cheap and tinny. It was only 157 pounds so can’t really complain but it won’t get much wrist time. It’s slightly put me off getting the blue planet now

Excellent daily wearer.
I love this watch. I wanted one with just the time that was a bit different and would be interesting. I’m not so keen on the straps so have added one of my own. The 22mm lug width is perfect and it’s so easy to swap straps in and out. The manual wind builds a decent power reserve and the automatic movement is effective. It’s great to watch the various parts working inside the case. I don’t think I would wear it near water but it’s perfect as a daily wearer. With the black case, the branding is more subtle. I’d have to think about the silver case as there is a large company logo on the side, which is more noticeable. Also, the black case seemed far more legible for reading the time.

Emballage original, montre très sympa et look tendance. Je l'ai prise en noire. Bon rapport qualité/prix (achetée vers 150€) Automatique, la précision est correcte (+10-15 sec par jour pour ma part, ce qui est très correct surtout pour un mouvement Chinois) et la reserve de marche est bien de 40h (elle fait mieux que ma Tissot 40h sur ce coup là) Dommage (mais je le savais avant de commander) que les aiguilles (ou leur bout) ne soient pas luminescentes, car en conditions sombres, c'est assez difficile de lire l'heure. Dommage aussi qu'elle ne soit pas étanche (50 ou 100m aurait été suffisant) car avec 30m, c'est mieux de ne pas l'immerger. Je pense acheter la version argentée dans le futur (vue dernièrement à 125€!)

Muy bonito el reloj es un poco más grande que en las fotos y que tenga dos estilos de correa lo hace más versátil, vale la pena, vamos a ver qué tanto dura

Arrivato in 1 giorno con prime. Davvero molto bello, lo avevo adocchiato da diversi mesi fino a che mi sono deciso ad acquistarlo. L'orologio si presenta in una scatola molto elegante, in cui ci sono un cinturino in acciaio e uno in pelle, oltre allo strumento per regolare il cinturino metallico, e le istruzioni. Pro: design molto bello e particolare presenti due cinturini, facilmente intercambiabili senza alcuno strumento orologio automatico, quindi non necessita di batteria Contro: il meccanismo a vista non rende agevole leggere l'ora, quindi bisogna farsi l'abitudine di sera è praticamente impossibile leggere l'ora nel corso di una giornata l'orologio può rimanere indietro o andare avanti di pochi secondi Nonostante i contro, do 5 stelle poiché gli aspetti negativi li trovo relativamente trascurabili. Probabilmente l'aspetto che più mi infastidisce è il fatto di rimanere indietro o andare avanti di qualche secondo, ma considerando che se non lo usi tutti i gironi l'autonomia è di 40ore, probabilmente sarà da caricare e regolare spesso. Mi riservo comunque di aggiornare la recensione dopo aver utilizzato l'orologio più a lungo.
