What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Farer Portobello - Nearly New

Farer Portobello - Nearly New is widely praised for its striking good looks and build quality, exceeding expectations from website photos. Owners appreciate its unique design and the value it offers, with one noting the manual movement and another highlighting the "pop" of its color combinations. The 38.5mm size is considered acceptable on a 7.5-inch wrist. One owner reported a small white spec on the sapphire crystal, suggesting it was likely internal and not a factory defect. Overall, owners rate the Farer Portobello - Nearly New highly for its visually striking design and perceived value.

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.
