This watch for the money is simply amazing
Dual titanium cases with suspension custom movement

Last time I looked at this brand, they made watch with poor legibility and barely water resistant. The only thing good which is also a red flag, is how cheap it cost to buy.

I watched your video and still don't get it.

The suspension thing is novel but I'm not convinced that it actually does anything. A G-Shock has been taking hits for decades and has never needed a suspension, which is btw a single vector. Unless your wrist has a 40+mm indentation, and your bone is supporting the frame, that suspension isn't going to move or lessen the shock one bit.

I agree that for $200 it's good value, but at the end of the day, it's $200, and I can probably find a better quality watch from Casio digital or automatic, albeit less creative.

Nothing about this watch is appealing to me. I can point out a dozen reasons why I wouldn’t wear it, but that’s the beauty of this hobby….if it sings to you, then to hell what I think.

A horologist doesn't care about the cost of a watch or its social standing its about the details
And the creatively which the brand brings to the table for what is I believe a very low cost
This watch isn't about high legibility or its water resistance after all its not
A dress watch nor is it in fact a divers watch.

Its a about a company pushing the boundaries of what is expected form an affordable
Timepiece and for this I nod my head in approval to it

I've reviewed many different watches on my channel from vintage Rolex models
Costing well over $50k and all the way down to this
and this impressed me at its price point

That's pretty cool, thanks for posting. I like the silver/blue color best, too bad they are sold out. For that price, I'd be tempted to give it a try. They have some others styles that sure look familiar....homage, I believe some on TRF call it.

CIGA is earning respect especially after earning a GPHG award last year. Don't know if you know that. I am very surprised this is only $200.
