Anyone have thoughts on this, curious to know what the quality may be like.

Probably shite.
They b(r)ought an old name back to life and created a wannabe Newman Daytona with it.
Don't know about the price, but if I were you I'd focus on something else.
Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
The dial looks cheap...
Honest opinion? Looks horrible...
M.
oh dear... fake Daytona. why would you?
Looks awful in my opinion.
What does the sub-dial at 2 o'clock measure????
It's a no from me.....maybe wait and see if Eddies chronograph comes to fruition instead? Not that I'm comparing that to anything our host would produce!
Awful
Looks like a panda!!
Thanks for the feedback, I have to agree about the looks, but I still wonder about the build quality.
Looks dreadful, sorry.
Definzte no from me. What's the price?
There was a German eBay seller knocking these out for about £30 to £40 not too long ago, which I suppose is a pretty good price for a Miyota powered chronograph. If you like it, go for it - you're not going to lose much money.
I was hoping a cheap price would put this into perspective and i could say yes, not bad all things considered. Unfortunately the more i look at this the more i dislike it.
Any pictures of the links?
Folded links are an indication of a poorer quality bracelet.
10 67 at 6 O clock ?
Dont like it, awful dial. Do the small hands work?
If you are looking for a good watch and cheap. Save a bit more and get a seiko or citizen. Imho it would beOriginally Posted by Lampoc
It's a quartz chromo movement,so it'll be 1/10ths of a second. And I don't like it, sorry - it's just a little off in lots of ways... But those little bits add up.
I think I brought this more than 2 decades ago
I agree with the comments above. It looks awful.
Not for me..
Don't like it apart from the case and screw down crown and pushers. I've been looking for a good chronograph with those features but that not it. Cheers
Have to agree with everyone else, if i was given it free I wouldn't thank you for it and certainly wouldn't wear it!
not good i'm afraid.
if it's cheap and you like it then feel free, i suppose everything has a value/price point.
I'm with the consensus here. It's horrible.
I'm surprised at all the negativity towards this watch to be honest when Eddie's Daytona homage has had so much praise. Visually (obviously I expect Eddie's version to be of a much better quality), there's not a lot to choose from:
I rather like them both :D
That's not for me either.
I've not owned one but a few here have and, for the £40 - £60 they cost from Amazon or certain Ebay sellers they appear to be pretty good value. However I've never seen this model before. They do a range called Speed Timers that come in a couple or three different dial colours and I think they're a decent punt at the price.
Walk away & keep walking, or if you're feeling energetic, run like hell!
OP - why not amend your post title to "Opinions on Gigandet Please" then you might get some owners giving you first-hand opinion and experience.
There is a thread somewhere, might even be on WUS, saying what great value for money they are. And although they are homages, there are some better designs. Look at Amazon & e-bay.
In fact why doesn't someone actually get one in their hand and review it? (Not me, currently on 5 watch restriction from SWMBO!)
This thread does exactly that:

All these Gigandet look pretty nasty to me.
Horrid.
I'm going against the grain here, I recently bought a speedtimer black dial with orange hands, mine has a domed crystal mod which Imo for the money looks superb, ive put it on a honey Hirsch liberty.Good value and just a bit of fun, just one thing they are quite large.
To be honest not great
Horrible in my opinion
