Reviews

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

Certina DS Super PH2000M

The Certina DS SUPER PH2000M is praised for its lightweight titanium construction and comfortable wearability despite its 43mm size, with reviewers highlighting its standout turquoise gradient dial and retro 70s design. Owners note its extreme shock resistance, potentially making it the most shock-proof mass-produced automatic watch. The watch is considered a good buy, especially on discount, and is lauded for its legibility, lume, and the reliable POWERMATIC 80.611 movement. Some owners find the minute hand bulky and the bezel has noticeable play, while one reviewer notes its 16mm height is bulky. The 2,000m water resistance is seen by some as excessive given human depth limitations. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Certina DS SUPER PH2000M highly for its unique design and robust specifications at its price point.

Spinnaker Dumas Automatic

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Dumas Automatic for its robust build quality, attractive textured blue dial, and excellent finishing for its price point. The watch is noted for its comfortable wearability, attributed to a short lug-to-lug distance, and owners report positive experiences with the Seiko NH35 movement. Some owners mention a mineral crystal instead of sapphire, a bracelet with a learning curve, and a crown that feels slightly small. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Dumas Automatic highly for its aesthetic appeal and solid construction at a fair price.
