What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro for its scratch-resistant coating, thin and compact 38.5mm case, and versatile dial options. The layered finishing with polished chamfers and comfortable bracelet are frequently highlighted as strong points, contributing to its wearability. One owner notes good timekeeping, while a reviewer states the Miyota 9015 movement is adjusted to +/-10 seconds per day. A potential drawback mentioned is the date numeral appearing in half shadow due to anti-magnetic shielding, and one owner considers the bracelet clasp dated. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro highly for its durable construction and thoughtful design at its price point.

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.
