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 Hass Automatic

The Spinnaker Hass Automatic is a 43mm watch featuring an NH35 movement and sapphire crystal, with owners highlighting its beautiful dial. Some find Spinnaker watches, including this model, to be on the thicker side, with one owner describing the Hass X MCS Blue Fade variant as comically large and chunky. The Spinnaker Hass Automatic was offered at $445 USD as part of a special collection with customized elements, and a limited edition of 200 pieces was also available for $195 shipped. On balance, owners and reviewers note the attractive dial as a key positive, though some express reservations about the watch's thickness.
