Spinnaker Hass AutomaticvsTraska Summiteer Charcoal

The Spinnaker Hass Automatic is a 43mm watch featuring an NH35 movement and sapphire crystal, with owners highlighting its beautiful dial. Some find Spinnaker watches, including this model, to be on the thicker side, with one owner describing the Hass X MCS Blue Fade variant as comically large and chunky. The Spinnaker Hass Automatic was offered at $445 USD as part of a special collection with customized elements, and a limited edition of 200 pieces was also available for $195 shipped. On balance, owners and reviewers note the attractive dial as a key positive, though some express reservations about the watch's thickness.

Owners widely praise the Traska Summiteer Charcoal for its comfortable 38.5mm size, short lugs, clean dial, and proud crystal, with some noting its excellent fit and finish and smooth winding action. Timekeeping averages +2 seconds per day, and the hardened steel treatment is a valued addition. Some owners find the dial plain and prefer textured alternatives, and one owner experienced dial alignment issues with a recent Traska release. The bracelet is criticized by some for being noisy, sagging, and having a clasp with rough edges, though others praise its on-the-fly micro-adjustment. On balance, owners rate the Traska Summiteer Charcoal highly for its overall package and value proposition at its price point.
