What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Kraken

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Kraken for its excellent lume, dial production, and the thinness of its Miyota 9015 movement, all at a sub-$500 price point. Specific positive mentions include the case and bracelet finishing, with one owner calling the bracelet excellent. The 40mm size is considered ideal by some. However, some owners find the crown guard execution awkward, and the hands have been described as resembling "veiny penises." There is also a concern that the dial's appearance in natural light might not achieve the desired color-shifting, smoky metallic effect. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Kraken highly for its impressive dial and finishing at the price.

From video reviewers

The watch's attractive price point and retro styling are consistently praised. Reviewers did not agree on any specific weaknesses.

Spinnaker Tesei Mille Metri GMT

The Spinnaker Fleuss Midnight Black features a reliable and accurate Japanese TMI NH35 Automatic Movement with 3 Hands and Date. A potential drawback is the watch's relatively low 15 ATM water-resistance rating compared to other watches in its class. Reviewers disagree on the watch's suitability for larger wrists, with one reviewer noting a 43mm diameter and 51mm lug-to-lug fit, while the other mentions a 51mm lug-to-lug measurement.
