What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino

The Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino is widely praised for its unique Byzantine art engraving across the case and bracelet, and its elegant gray fumé dial. Owners find it extremely comfortable and appreciate its solid build quality for the €900 price point. However, reviewers note that the bracelet screws are unattractive up close, and the seconds hand can be difficult to see in certain lighting conditions, impacting legibility. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino highly for its distinctive artistic design and comfortable wearability.

Spinnaker Fleuss Mechanical Chronograph

Owners widely report a split on build quality, with some finding the Spinnaker Fleuss Mechanical Chronograph's construction unimpressive due to issues like a poorly seated bezel and crooked indices, while others praise its robustness and aesthetic appeal. The unique dial features character hands and glowing eyes serving as subdials and a 24-hour indicator, though the chronograph function is limited to 60 minutes. On balance, the Spinnaker Fleuss Mechanical Chronograph elicits divided opinions on its build quality, with its artistic dial design being a notable, albeit polarizing, feature.

From video reviewers

The Spinnaker Googly Black's notable strength is its reported water-resistance of 300 fathoms or 550 metres. A weakness of this watch is its lume brightness, which is somewhat lacking. Reviewers disagree on the watch's ideal size, with one reviewer noting its slimmed-down design and the other mentioning its overall size and 26+ millimeter thickness.
