I like Spinnaker watches. But, every time I am thinking about pulling the trigger on one. I am reminded that there are better options out there.

I've received the Bradner 10 days ago, and have spent a full week with it. It's outsanding in person, but lume is sub-par if like me you expect it to ba as good as the SKX. That Cahill looks cheap though. I'd be tempted to compare it to some higher(ish)-end Vostok.

The micro brand diver watch market between $200 and $500 is extremely competitive, especially if you also consider slightly or unused versions of recent releases. It doesn't allow much room for error by the manufacturers and this one doesn't seem to offer good relative value. However, the problem I have with all my watche purchases is that I cannot see them before I buy. So, I rely heavily on honest reviews like this to steer me in the right direction. Thanks!

Finally ! An honest review of this watch 👍. I agree, too high a price for this movement and the QC issues. And the short hands jump out at me every time I see it, all three hands are too short, almost like they were a “parts bin” handset and not made for this watch.

I agree, a few problems with this watch. The crown, especially without guards, looks too large. The hands are also too narrow, and I don't like the Mercedes head on the hour hand. The deal breaker is the name on the case side--no idea why it's ever even considered by any brand. The price isn't terrible, but I expect better for it. Great review, keep it up...hi to Mr. Bond!

Not loving the Spinnaker on the side either, I guess the reason is the watch is a part homage to the Blancpain fifty fathoms (bezel is the same), and some versions have Blancpain on the side of the case. Wish brands just stuck to being original, have the same feeling for the Rolex hands. I would rather have normal sword or pretty much any hands, the only watch I want Rolex hands on is ummm a Rolex. Great vid keep it up!

I own this watch and I cannot, for the life of me, find any misalignment. Maybe the unit you received has it (which is one unit too many), but I don’t know that it is something that happens on many, or most units. I agree with you about the crown: it’s too “long”. There is always going to be “better” options, but at the end of the day, what is “better”? The watch you want, or that other one which hands are .4 mm longer? Or the one that has a bezel that is somewhat easier to turn under water, with gloves on, when the owner knows that the watch will never be anywhere near a body of water? I am aware that some movements are better than others, but I think that a lot of features are personal preferences rather than “faults” from a manufacturer. Name on the side of the case: I know what you mean, and I fully understand where people are coming from when they say they don’t like it, but to look at this feature realistically: I don’t remember seeing what’s on the side of any of my watches while checking what time it was 😊 So again, it depends on why one buys the watch: functionality and/or overall looks, or to look at it from every angle all day long. None of those is “wrong”, it just depends on the buyer. You forgot to mention that one advantage of this movement is that if, at any point, you no longer want the watch, you can give it to a toddler, who will in turn be able to use it as a rattle 😂

I just wonder what Spinnaker was thinking when they designed and made this watch. thanks for the review, Oleg.

Spinnaker is an odd company, their pricing is all over the place, The crown wouldn't bother me much since I'm left handed. I have a Dumas which they use a Seiko NH36 with a decent (to me) mesh bracelet had a coupon code so paid just over $300.00 I happen to like it. And also got a Spence which was like $175 with the same code and has a NH35 movement. As I said they're all over the place, some good stuff and deals, both wear well and are hackable. I think in the same micro arena, Boldr has some nice stuff good support and took a cancelation on a back order and an apology and a discount credit for $50 which I used for a Journey Sopwith meca-quartz chronograph, ended up costing like $100.00 hasn't come yet. BTW, like your dog.

As you said spinnaker makes much better watches than this one. This one has an ugly crown, too large, only one micro-adjustment between the two holes is a bad design. With a super cheap movement, I would price this about 100 dollars if even that. There are better Chinese specials for a lot less. hate to be so negative but it's the truth.

This watch definitely has some shortcomings. At this point there is no reason not to have a hacking movement at this price. The crown is too wide and really does not match the case. Finally, they could of used any other hands, not a fan of Mercedes hands. Spinnaker has a nicer model called the Fleus. Its a little larger, has the NH35, and a nicer design in my opinion. It also comes on a bracelet.

You and I and most people understand that and take everything said with a grain of salt. Still I will admit that I was introduced to some brands 1st through youtubers and their positive reviews for brands such as Zelos and Lorier spurred me to investigate further and ultimately purchase.
