What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Spinnaker Tesei Mille Metri GMT

The Spinnaker Fleuss Midnight Black features a reliable and accurate Japanese TMI NH35 Automatic Movement with 3 Hands and Date. A potential drawback is the watch's relatively low 15 ATM water-resistance rating compared to other watches in its class. Reviewers disagree on the watch's suitability for larger wrists, with one reviewer noting a 43mm diameter and 51mm lug-to-lug fit, while the other mentions a 51mm lug-to-lug measurement.

Tissot PR516

The Tissot PR516 is widely praised for its vintage-inspired design, robust and well-finished case, and the value it offers. Owners and reviewers frequently highlight its crisp dials, heritage inspiration, and modern refinements like the Powermatic 80 movement. Some owners appreciate its size and jubilee bracelet, finding it comfortable and a good alternative to other models. However, several sources note a 14mm thickness that can feel noticeable, and the bracelet clasp is considered a weak point by one reviewer, being a folded steel design. The case design is described by some as unrefined or boring, lacking the appeal of the original 70s model, and one enthusiast finds the hands a dealbreaker. The fixed bezel on some variants is seen as a gimmick by some owners, and the orange subdial hand can be difficult to read. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PR516 highly for its strong vintage aesthetic and robust build quality at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Valjoux automatic movement is a key strength. The price point of €2,145 is a point of contention.
