Spinnaker Hass AutomaticvsDOXA SUB 300

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Hass Automatic for its quality and vibrant dial options at an accessible price point. The watch features a Seiko NH35 automatic movement and 300m water resistance. Some owners find Spinnaker watches, including the Hass Automatic, to be on the thicker side, with one user noting a previous model was considered comically large. One owner reported a quality issue with a different Spinnaker model where the crown detached. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Hass Automatic highly for its impressive build quality and fun aesthetic relative to its price.

The DOXA SUB 300 is widely praised for its wearability, vibrant color options, and modern updates like improved lume, with reviewers calling it the brand's most desirable model. Owners note its comfortable wear, clean cushion case, and legible dials, though some find the 42.5mm case a bit large. The bezel action is outstanding, and the beads-of-rice bracelet contributes to a smaller perceived size. However, some owners report issues with bracelet end links sticking out, a sharp clasp edge, sub-standard screw pins, and disappointing lume. The polished bezel surface is also noted as prone to scratches, and the clasp's top section and clip are described as feeling "tinnyness" and too sixties. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the DOXA SUB 300 highly for its compelling charm and modern updates, despite some noted bracelet and clasp refinements.
