What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Borealis Watch Co. Porto Covo

The Borealis Porto Covo is widely praised for its 39mm size and unique cantilevered indices that create a 3D effect and depth. Owners note the indices' floating appearance is a well-executed design. One owner reported poor accuracy and a terse customer service response, while another wished for a 42mm size option. The $395 price is considered reasonable for a microbrand, though some feel it does not compare favorably to AliExpress options. Overall, owners appreciate the Borealis Porto Covo for its distinctive dial design and wearable 39mm case size.

Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton

The Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton is noted for its 40mm steel case, sapphire crystal, and 150m water resistance. One owner reports strong performance from the TMI NH70 movement at -3 seconds per day, with very nice lume. On balance, owners find the Spinnaker Croft Mid-Size Skeleton to be a pretty nice option, particularly for its movement performance and lume.
