What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Baltic HMS 002 - Gold PVD

One owner reported poor quality with a plastic-like crystal, audible rattling, and significant timekeeping issues within 24 hours, deeming the Baltic HMS 002 - Gold PVD overpriced. Another commenter felt the design needed upgrades to its movement and crystal, noting a cheap feel to the dial's textured section. On balance, the consensus among the limited owner feedback is that the Baltic HMS 002 - Gold PVD has significant quality concerns for its price point.

Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic

Owners find the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic a good size for smaller wrists, though one owner notes the lume is too diffuse for easy nighttime reading. The pilot-style crown is an unusual feature for a dive watch. Overall, owners value the Spinnaker Fleuss 40 Automatic for its wearability on smaller wrists.

From video reviewers

The coral red dial is a unique aesthetic. The watch is a strong contender for best-in-class under $300.
