From video reviewers

The Wave Master GMT's notable feature is its 200M water resistance. A drawback is the rattle of the bracelet.

Spinnaker Wreck Automatic

The Spinnaker Wreck Automatic is widely praised for its exceptional value, featuring a distressed finish on its aluminum bezel and etched dial. Owners consistently highlight the excellent bezel and crown action, with one owner noting it surpasses that of many higher-end watches.
