What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Erebus Watches Ascent 40 GMT

Owners widely praise the Erebus Watches ASCENT for its stunning dial and excellent lume, with many finding it gorgeous and beautiful beyond comprehension. The watch is also noted for its comfortable wearability, attributed to its 40mm case, and the bracelet's micro-adjustable clasp and well-finished screws receive specific commendation. Some owners consider the Miyota 9075 movement excellent for the price, with one reporting accuracy of +1 second per day. However, import duties are a significant concern for some buyers, and the polished case sides are noted to lack a scratch-resistant coating. On balance, owners rate the Erebus Watches ASCENT highly for its aesthetic appeal and comfortable wearability at its price point.

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.
