What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sugess MoonPhase Master S389

Owners widely praise the Sugess MoonPhase Master S389 for its beautiful dial and glowing moonphase, with some finding it a stunner that exceeds expectations and a bargain for the price. However, reviewers and owners alike flag rotor noise and thickness as potential drawbacks, and one owner reported receiving a defective unit. Accuracy is reported at -6 seconds per day, and while the dial features applied markers and polished hands, the movement finishing is noted as rough under magnification. Overall, owners rate the Sugess MoonPhase Master S389 highly for its aesthetic appeal and value, despite some concerns regarding rotor noise and build quality consistency.

Spinnaker Croft 42 Skeleton

Owners widely report the Spinnaker Croft 42 Skeleton offers good build quality for its price, with some finding it a decent buy on sale. Reviewers note the 42mm case provides significant wrist presence. However, opinions are split on legibility and aesthetics, with some finding it poorly executed and uninteresting while others consider it one of the more legible skeleton watches. The watch is powered by a Seiko NH70 automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve, though one reviewer considered the movement uninteresting. The bracelet and clasp are considered mediocre for the price point. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Spinnaker Croft 42 Skeleton to be a polarizing but potentially good value skeletonized dive watch when purchased on sale, with its build quality being a key positive for many.
