I bought and presently own the Tissei and love it! I bought it during Spinnaker's pre-sale period and have absolutely no regrets. I've received many positive comments on it and it is very comfortable on my 7-3/4" wrist. The leather strap is thick, but very supple,, and the stitching is very well done. A good purchase for sure!
I personally don’t like either of these watches. I, However do have a Spinaker, a Fleus, which I actually really like. I’m also a fan of display casebacks, regardless of movment. It’s always cool to see a machine working, and that is what a watch movement really is, a small, completely mechanical machine.
Fed continues to be the credible voice of watch geeks everywhere; thanks for the “support” disclaimer. I believe the open back on the case is more an indictment of the lack of real dive customers for their brand. Fashion over function is not a crime at the low end of the market.
I think these smaller new brands use display backs because the entry level collector/buyer gets a kick out of a display back. Heck I remember when I bought a Hamilton in 2005 with a display back and at that point I really had no idea or knowledge of the movement there in. But I did think that the display back was really impressive despite what movement it had.
Thanks for doing this review! I do agree with you on the see through case back. But overall really like the look and style of their collection! I also think the price point is good for what your getting! Good stuff!!
hey federico If Possible. I would love your input/review on the spinnaker fleuss range, a 'homage' to the blancpain fifty fathoms. thanks in advance =] from australia
I've bought 2 Spinnaker's watch with NH35 and Miyota 8215. The accuracy somehow also surprising. About +1 sec a day for Miyota and +0.5 sec a day for NH35. I also happen to have 2 Seiko 5 with 4R36 (NH36) movement. Deviation is about -+5 sec a day. I think Spinnaker made a great effort in calibrating it. Seriously, I am very eager awaiting my first Swiss movement Spinnaker watch that I order yesterday.. :D
Frederico, need your advice... I bought the Omega Seamaster 300 (the Bond watch) in January this year. It's the 2017 model with the ceramic bezel. As you know the new model came out in October. I'm not sure whether I should sell my watch and buy the new model. I like the new model being sportier and has a lot of detail. But at the same time it (1) doesn't have the applied Omega logo, (2) the bracelet looks a bit paler as compared to the previous model and (c) the HE value is bigger. Not sure whether I should keep the 2017 model which is dressier or buy the new sportier one. I love so many things about the new model including the better movement, it being better protected from magnetic fields, etc. As you can see I'm very undecided. What are your thoughts? Also, do you think that the 2017 model will be a classic in the next few years? Many thanks, appreciate your help!
I’m glad you’re upfront about the sponsored video; looks like a lot of people still don’t like the idea of paid content. These particular watches excite me about as much as a used Hyundai Sonata.
I have a Spinnaker Fluess and I like it very much that it has a see through case back. At the price point it is, ofcourse is not going to have an exceptionally decorated movement. Furthermore I like the 43mm casing, it fits me perfectly.
I have a Presage, enamelled 3 hand Seiko ( pre American market sarx019) with the 6R15 on display / maybe not the prettiest, buy like seeing the movement working from the magic of assembled parts....a little uncouth perspective
It'd be nice to have more information about the watch made available to potential customers. Personally, for myself, I'd want to hear what swiss-assembled means, whether or not they regulate the movements, and so on, before purchasing.
I've seen pic's and other reviews on Spinnker, and most seem to like them. Agree not perfect, but fine. Recently bought Zodiac Sea Wolf, paid $504 with tax and delivery and very happy with it. And I'm sure there are those who will complain about it being a division of Fossil, and honestly I don't care. It's well made, the only real ligit complaint is no lum on the second hand. But it has a swiss movement and made in Switzerland. It came with a leather NATO which quality is somewhere between mediocre and OK. I ordered a few 20mm NATO's off Amazon, and do have a few brand new Stowa leather watchbands which are quality. It has a STP1-11 movement.
Nice review, I like the Bronze will be awhile before I can get another watch recently got one of my grail watches sub 114060. Would love to see you talk about that one.
I like the channel before , now I love it more! " my" micro brand! I love mine and you have to own and wear them to truly see and know just the smallest nuances that make their watches beautiful...I know folks could find flaws in any watch
I totally agree with the issue on the case back! If there’s nothing there to see, why have it. Much better to have a very well etched logo or even a raised logo. Something to catch the eye, but be unique.
Ive only held the ones I got in for review. Apart from a little unwelcome patina I found them to be very decent quality, especially for the price. However they may very well suffer from QC issues.
I've actually had a couple of Spinnaker watches and for the price, THEY KICK ASS. Now, I have never bought any of them at full price! Also they ALWAYS have available coupon codes available with 15 to 25% off. With the coupons, the watches are definitely great. Still, I would probably go with Deep Blue watches or some micros like Halios, NTH, etc.
@@2011blueman 'Swiss made' doesn't mean that the watch is actually swiss made... And I doubt that Steinhart is made in Switzerland by entirely swiss parts
@@justincaseDK Using the "Swiss made" term means that at least 50% of total component value to be swiss manufactured and the movement to be assembled and inspected in Switzerland.
Fed, really good balanced review. For what it's worth, I agree 100% with your view on this. Personally, I would not buy a spinnaker. On the phrase "swiss assembled" - let me guess - The supervisor in the Chinese factory where these bad boys are being made went to Switzerland for his vacation last year.
Mostly agree with you mate but in my opinion the see through back case is there for those that are new to this hobby. Many small and new watch brands take risks to attract new costumers. Interesting brand but not enough to make me buy one of their watches
These brands aren't that bad, but not for that pricepoint :/ I had a Deep Blue as a dive watch and the truth is I preferred it over an SKX as it was cheaper, was equiped with a movement that hacks and can be wound up, Superluminova and a glass of sapphire. There are of course some concessions such as the finising that leaves to be desired for the case and the bezel. The SKX is still the better finished watch but the value proposition of the Deep Blue surpasses the Seiko easily (when applied at discount wich is basically nearly always). I haven't seen the Spinnaker watches, but I presume it will be more or less the same.
Fed, You almost got me interested, until you revealed..."it's not perfect." So I'll stick with the undisputed champion of the world... Vostok Amphipia!!!
Curious, can someone explain what the fascination is with bronze cases? They are unnecessarily heavy, the metal is reactive, it just seems like a weird choice for watch case.
mountainhobo Hi, I personely love those colours of a bronze oxidation, specially when it turns greenish like statues. If it has a green dial combo it is just delicious😋
@@2deep5u I'm with ya man. I gotta vintage watch that doesn't have a tropical dial, and I think it looks much better. It's from 67 and the dial is still very black
You should watch Watchfinder & Co’s video on bronze watches. It actually makes more sense to use bronze as a material for dive watches and their video explains why.
Aside from the case back I don't think they're ugly by any means. That 43mm though I think 41mm at most would have been better. I read about QC issues.
I think there is better opinions out there. Steinhart, Squale if I spelled that right, Christopher Ward and a bunch of others. There are other opinions that I would look into before I would go for a Spinnaker.
Brand info is easy to find. Search, 'A look at BALLAST, AVI-8, Spinnaker, and James McCabe Watches' by dude who lives in Asia. All from the same very large PRC factory.
For me, the dials are a bit too busy and weird, but to be honest, most divers are in my view. Also, could you maybe tell the lug to lug length in future reviews? It really helps to know whether the watch will fit or not
Spinnaker makes some nice watches. I was shocked that they used the Miyota 8215 on that titanium model, at that price point I would have expected a 9015, and if it did, I would probably buy it. -- I own the Fluess with a NH35 in it, and it is sort of a Fifty Fathoms in a Black Bay case, and very affordable at $230. It came with a very nice leather strap, but I usually wear it on a Strapcode super engineer bracelet ( imgur.com/a/YTU3FDY ).
You can get a similar Steinhart bronze diver for around $550. The Spinnakers are definitely overpriced. And shouldnt the Ti case be considered a higher end model than the bronze? Weird marketing decisions.
Hey Fed, I know you don't like Christopher Ward, but in the context of this review you should acknowledge that they offer a much better product when talking about competitors in this price range
Cristopher Ward makes a fine watch. Their issue is not their product its their god awful marketing, brand image, flip flopping and sales. They want to be seen as a real watchmaker, but to be honest, they do not run their brand in a manner that deserves that type of respect. At least in my view.
@@FedericoTalksWatches I won't disagree with you on that, I just think they deserve a mention when talking about the affordable swiss made diver market :)
"Swiss made" only requires 50% of total component value to be swiss manufactured and the movement to be assembled and inspected in Switzerland. So them saying it's swiss assembled tells me that most of the components are likely chinese.
I know the specs. I don't know the brand history. I know the materials used, the movements and so on. That is enough to compare product to product if you don't take in to account heritage.
Not my market. These are just fun cheaper watches. I don’t know much about the brand but I think I gave the physical product a pretty objective review.
@@FedericoTalksWatches I would agree. I've seen the review for the "wrecked" diver but they essentially wanted 250 plus shipping for a pretty watch with a Seiko movement and mineral crystal. You represented them very well, even though it's not my taste and I stand by My "I'll pick one up when I see them for sale on Delray" lol
Are there many other options in the price point for what you get? Bronze, sellita movement, 300m water resistance? I am genuinely asking. I could only find a couple.
Good honest review. I can’t help thinking you like the titanium, despite yourself. I can see you are torn. Uncomfortable, having been sponsored, wanting to hate it, to show your integrity, but finding you really rather like it. It makes quite compelling viewing. A bit like a Ferrari driver, enjoying a Mazda.
I can’t really understand how you can hate christopher ward watches and like these. But hey, there is lots of weird things in this world that I don’t understand.
Federico Talks Watches Dear Fed, I understand the argument, however, cheapy-Charly is not a role, you have used to play. By the way, presented watches for sure are OK. There will be many people, who will wear them and enjoy. Let us hope, one day unpaid Fed will not tell them something opposite.
Robert, I am aware I mainly talk about higher priced watches. Though if you peruse my channel you will see videos on seiko, orient and even chinese chronographs. Yes this video is sponsored and very clearly labeled and such. This does not mean my opinion would change. Even if Longines paid me to review your precious HC watch, I would still call it mediocre. Now, you disagree with me, and that fine. Everyone is entitled to opinion. However, if you value mine so little to question my integrity, why do you still spend time watching my videos. Surely you would have a lot better things to do then sit around watching a youtuber who's content you get nothing out off, especially on a Saturday...
Federico Talks Watches Simply, I like you. I have dislieked your silly negativity on HC and other watches in your video about nonsense watches. And never say never... Very likely you do not ski and you do not play tennis, but you never know if or when Longines approaches you...
Why the sudden twist to microbrands, and why Spinnaker? I see these Spinnaker advertisements all over my recommended watch channels. There are much better microbrands. Why Spinnaker here on your channel with their stupid "Swiss assembled" claim and that bronze BS? This seems more fishy than a can of sardines.
@@FedericoTalksWatches That's what I mean, Fed. Why now, and why with Spinnaker...? There are way better microbrands that rival other established brands and seemed to be unnoticed by you.
Because they reached out and asked for a review. No other semi interesting non quartz brands have asked me to review anything this year. I’m happy to review others.
@@FedericoTalksWatches Understood. Sorry, I'm just such a skeptic in regards to this current flood of microbrand videos. I have to give it to, you did a fair and not too enthusiastic review of this watch.
"There aren't that many bronze watches around the $850 price point new". How about Archimede, Nethuns, Makara, and tons more for less (some for half that price)? I think you're living too much in the Swiss fantasy world, and unfortunately, some watching your channel won't know any better than to realise there's a huge world beyond that.
They certainly cost a lot more in the first place. A higher price makes sense. You cant compare apples to oranges. One is a "premium" product (swiss movement), one is not (seiko).
@@FedericoTalksWatches So that "premium product" packing Spinnaker you have there is all Chinese except for the Swiss movement and you think it justifies a $400 premium over other Chinese micros like Nethuns and Makara? That's apples to apples on everything but the movement and it justifies twice the price? What a twisted world you live in.
If you want PERFECT" then buy a rolex or what ever your favorite brand however perfect is used so loosely ,I stand by spinnaker 100% they should promote more and invest in adds like idk baltic? = great commercials
Thanks Fed for disclosing the sponsorship upfront and for the honest review.

Excellent reviews Federico love your honesty! Please do more watch reviews!👍
Respect for Spinnaker for stepping into the ring
Fed you do good review of pros and cons, well done.
Considering Swiss made is already a scam, I wonder what means "Swiss assembled". Maybe the strap has been put on the case somewhere near Switzerland.
Hahahaha now this is a good comment
Maybe they have a Swiss expat in Hong Kong put the straps on during their spare time.
Probably means Chinese parts or made elsewhere and shipped to Switzerland to be put together.
Their web site says "Spinnaker's first Swiss made timepiece" .
Swiss assembled means made in China buy a guy smelling like Swiss cheese.

I like seeing reviews from you Fed, it’s been a while!!! Somehow I doubt Spinnaker regulated the movement so that just speaks to Saleta movements.
+2 seconds a day is fantastic and I like the see-through case back.

More of a “Time Teller” type of watch. I have an Undone diver, think it’s just as nice, $400....completely customizable. Nice job though.

Why don't you raffle the watches off and donate the proceeds to your favorite charity ?
I’m talking about me , not you Fed, when i say uncouth...and i meant to say “but”, not buy
"They have a lot of personality." That's what's said about unattractive people.
lol!
Microwaved dog shit.
Any Seiko is a much better buy.
Really? With those non hacking non hand wind non regulated movements? I think you need to reconsider
Not worth that money..💩👍 too many better options out there at half the price.. Not my cup of tea😱
Why the sudden twist to microbrands, and why Spinnaker? I see these Spinnaker advertisements all over my recommended watch channels. There are much better microbrands. Why Spinnaker here on your channel with their stupid "Swiss assembled" claim and that bronze BS? This seems more fishy than a can of sardines.
Sudden twist? this is one of the very few I’ve ever reviewed...
@@FedericoTalksWatches That's what I mean, Fed. Why now, and why with Spinnaker...? There are way better microbrands that rival other established brands and seemed to be unnoticed by you.
Because they reached out and asked for a review. No other semi interesting non quartz brands have asked me to review anything this year. I’m happy to review others.
@@FedericoTalksWatches Understood. Sorry, I'm just such a skeptic in regards to this current flood of microbrand videos. I have to give it to, you did a fair and not too enthusiastic review of this watch.
"There aren't that many bronze watches around the $850 price point new". How about Archimede, Nethuns, Makara, and tons more for less (some for half that price)? I think you're living too much in the Swiss fantasy world, and unfortunately, some watching your channel won't know any better than to realise there's a huge world beyond that.
Nethuns and makara have Non swiss movements. They are rightfully half the price.
@@FedericoTalksWatches
There goes that Swiss fantasy world kicking in again. I'm sure dropping in a Swiss movement would make up the $400 difference.
They certainly cost a lot more in the first place. A higher price makes sense. You cant compare apples to oranges. One is a "premium" product (swiss movement), one is not (seiko).
@@FedericoTalksWatches
So that "premium product" packing Spinnaker you have there is all Chinese except for the Swiss movement and you think it justifies a $400 premium over other Chinese micros like Nethuns and Makara? That's apples to apples on everything but the movement and it justifies twice the price? What a twisted world you live in.
If you want PERFECT" then buy a rolex or what ever your favorite brand however perfect is used so loosely ,I stand by spinnaker 100% they should promote more and invest in adds like idk baltic? = great commercials
