Aragon Armour SII NH35 with 24 jewels AutomaticvsSpinnaker Hass Automatic

Owners praise the Aragon Armour SII NH35 with 24 jewels Automatic for its robust build, unique and bold dial colors, and the reliable, low-cost Seiko NH35 automatic movement. The movement is noted as an upgraded version of the 7S series, featuring hacking and hand-winding, and is advertised as a genuine "made in Japan" SII product. However, the watch's large, chunky 48mm case size and bold designs are polarizing, with one owner finding it too big and heavy for comfortable wear. The NH35 movement, while functional, is considered common in microbrand watches and generally not favored by enthusiasts compared to higher-end movements. On balance, owners rate the Aragon Armour SII NH35 with 24 jewels Automatic positively for its fun, bold aesthetic and reliable movement at its price point, despite its substantial size.

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Hass Automatic for its quality and vibrant dial options at an accessible price point. The watch features a Seiko NH35 automatic movement and 300m water resistance. Some owners find Spinnaker watches, including the Hass Automatic, to be on the thicker side, with one user noting a previous model was considered comically large. One owner reported a quality issue with a different Spinnaker model where the crown detached. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Hass Automatic highly for its impressive build quality and fun aesthetic relative to its price.
