What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue for its excellent finishing, sharp transitions between brushed and polished surfaces, and attractive blue sunray dial. It is noted to wear well on wrists under 6.5 inches. Some owners question its value proposition due to the Sellita movement, and one owner finds the crown can be fussy to use, while another notes sharp edges on the bracelet links. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Bell & Ross BR-05 GMT Sky Blue highly for its cohesive package and attractive case execution.

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.
