What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue for its excellent finishing, sharp transitions between brushed and polished surfaces, and attractive blue sunray dial. It is noted to wear well on wrists under 6.5 inches. Some owners question its value proposition due to the Sellita movement, and one owner finds the crown can be fussy to use, while another notes sharp edges on the bracelet links. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue highly for its cohesive package and attractive case execution.

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.
