What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Spinnaker Fleuss Mechanical Chronograph

Owners widely report a split on build quality, with some finding the Spinnaker Fleuss Mechanical Chronograph's construction unimpressive due to issues like a poorly seated bezel and crooked indices, while others praise its robustness and aesthetic appeal. The unique dial features character hands and glowing eyes serving as subdials and a 24-hour indicator, though the chronograph function is limited to 60 minutes. On balance, the Spinnaker Fleuss Mechanical Chronograph elicits divided opinions on its build quality, with its artistic dial design being a notable, albeit polarizing, feature.

From video reviewers

The Spinnaker Googly Black's notable strength is its reported water-resistance of 300 fathoms or 550 metres. A weakness of this watch is its lume brightness, which is somewhat lacking. Reviewers disagree on the watch's ideal size, with one reviewer noting its slimmed-down design and the other mentioning its overall size and 26+ millimeter thickness.

Zelos Skyraider 2

The Zelos Skyraider 2 is praised for its value, particularly offering unique dial materials like meteorite at a fraction of luxury prices, and its bronze case is noted for a warm glow. Reviewers and owners highlight the Flieger-inspired design and the use of a manual-wind ETA 6498 movement, with BGW9 and C3 Super-LumiNova lume. Some owners find the skeletonized variant ideal for style over everyday legibility, while others note the brand's past designs have sometimes been hard to read or bulky. The Zelos Skyraider 2 is available in various materials and dial options, with prices ranging from $699 to $1,399. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Skyraider 2 highly for its distinctive materials and design at a competitive price point.
