What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Pinion Pure Steel

Owners widely praise the Pinion Pure Steel's balanced 38mm case size and 44mm lug-to-lug, fitting most wrists well. The dial is described as clear and essential, though reviewers note the lack of a minute track makes precise minute setting difficult. Accuracy is regulated in-house to +/- 5 to +/- 15 seconds per day. Some commenters found the white straps on featured watches to look "horrible." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Pinion Pure Steel for its well-proportioned case and essential dial design.

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.
