What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Resco Stainless Red

Owners report mixed experiences with Resco's customer service and product durability. One owner encountered issues with crown threading and a subsequent partial refund, while another experienced rust near the crown on a different model, which the company attributed to normal wear. However, another owner praised the brand's durability and customer service after a severe accident. The Resco Stainless Red features a 44mm case and 200m water resistance. Overall, owners are split on the brand's service and product resilience, with some praising durability and others encountering specific issues.

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.
