Jody! I'm subscribing to your channel! I've watched 'urban' channel, 'guys with beard' channel', 'guy with 👓' and many others for a while now.... And always end up coming back to you! Love the accent, love the down to earth reviews (a.k.a "no nose up"), the format, and most of all the "I'm just doing what I like and I don't care about the attention" attitude! Keep in the awesome work!

I have the gray and orange sandblasted model. I ditched the included strap for a Zulu and wear it 24/7. Love it

I really enjoy your videos you really do a great job reviewing the watches. Every watch that I bought that you reviewed has lived up or exceeded your descriptions thank you for doing honest reviews keep it up!

First Spinnaker I like.... Don’t wanna add another Dive Watch to my collection, but here I may have to think twice about this...

Hello Jody 😊 I just wanted to say that I’ve been enjoying all of your videos a lot. Watches with really great value for money is not something so commonly covered and I do love your collection. Recently I’ve customized my own Seiko SKX 007 costing me around 378$ (including the watch itself) and I love it to the moon thanks to your video. Keep up the good work my friend, cheers 😊

I got my this watch today and I must say this is one of my best buy ever. The crystal is so smooth to touch and amazingly clear. All the hours marks and hands are almost like 3D to my eyes because all the marks are quite tall and depth of dial is deep if I compare to most of my watches. The watch looks much better in person on my 6.5 inches wrist and not big at all, maybe a bit tall to someone but from my viewing angle is perfect high to look. The black color on the dial is purely dark black that I can see my own reflection clearly on the crystal and that dial looks so deep black that make everything pop, even spinnaker letters are so clear. Only the criticism is the mesh strap that came as free one I can forget about. I couldn't make it work because buckle doesn't click and hold it properly. The mesh is so thick and not flexible to use. the rubber strap is perfect for this watch. Super comfortable, stay in place and light weight that I forgot the watch is on my wrist. I wish the hour hand is a little longer but already got used to it and other than that everything is a perfect watch.

Honestly this looks decent. Spinnaker is clearly paying good attention to the watch enthusiast community and its current design preferences. It's kinda surprising how Spinnaker came up out of nowhere a couple of years back and have quickly expanded into a prominent affordable-asian-watch player.

For diving, you want a huge minute hand. Minutes are your critical measure. Sometimes confusion sets in during a dive and the disparity in sizes between the hands makes it easy to quickly determine how much time has passed since going in the water.

When I saw this on a Facebook ad, I knew 100% right away you'd be doing a review of that watch within a matter of time and I've been waiting for it. Great review yet again, Jody! Hahahahahaha! 9:39 I'm guilty of this! Sorry! That correction made my day and it's not even half-way through yet!

Moons and Nickels !😂 spinnaker are making some cracking looking watches, definitely be adding one of theirs to my collection one day!

The spinnaker bradner is my daily, fits me well! I wish I could see a comparison between the two!

Once again Jody, you give us a spectacular, no biased review. Personally I love the look but at 45mm it might be too big for everyday wear. Would love to see it on a NATO strap though. Keep up the great work!

It's a beauty, the orange hands and dial detail reminds me of an old timberland beater I wore for years. One of these would really suit a jubilee style bracelet.

Jody it must be known that spinnaker are a brilliant watch company but they use FedEx and YOU WILL get a bill from them after delivery. I'm super pissed I've got to pay another £49.23 TAX and import duty. That now puts the price up to a samurai bought in the January sales!.

I guess my spinnaker I had for Christmas is getting a brother... this has gone to the top of my realistic wish list.

Nice Diver!! I think Spinnaker did a good job on this one, and it certainly stands out in the crowd of sub $300 divers. I have plenty of dive style watches, including a Spinnaker Bradner, so now one needs to have some kind of unique style/feature to catch my eye. I think this one will make it to my "Short List", especially with a mesh strap, sapphire crystal, color matched date wheel, mineral crystal bezel, and all that lume (I'm a sucker for lots of lume). Add to that the fact that it hacks, and hand winds.....well there you go........"Short List" it is...thanks for sharing!!

Jody - one of your best reviews, and certainly an INCREDIBLE looking watch. It is so “out there”. I love the hands too. Lots of room for more lume!

The more I see it the more I like it. I find the black one much nicer then the blue. I find the 1970s styled divers very appealing. The color scheme does remind me of a Doxa Sharkhunter. I’m thinking an Isofrane style strap would look good with such a large case.

Always loved the unique look of the Ploprof, seems like a great affordable alternative. Great video.

Thank you Jody for another great review! I do like this spinnaker and the 70s look. I own a seiko monster gen 2 black dial on a mesh and I like the on top of the whrist look. The nh35 can get more accurate if demagnetized and adjusted. Wish you all the best from a small country named Romania!

I didn't think I was going to like this watch but I actually think it's quite a handsome piece. The bold case styling and choice of colors together with that dial makes it aesthetically appealing. That being said I think I would still prefer a Helm over this though.

It comes in BLUE as well, like them both,

A good looking Beast perched on your wrist! Great review JOMW.

This is A GREAT looking diver for the price, slight homage to the old Omega as you suggested. I will be buying one & a couple for a few gifts as I love the orange on this watch. As I say orange is the new black, not sure why I like the orange of watches so much ATM but I do.

Yup as said before they use fed ex which have a depot at Uk/EU airports so bypass the lottery of import duty. Add £50/$58 US ish to the watch.. Put me right off after the buying Hull version which I love

Love the dial, can't get behind the case though. Spinnaker have some great ideas, not sure why they always seem to sour right before I put down the cash. Looking forward to your top 10!

That's darn big. Yikes! I get some people are into that kind of thing.

love the color combination on the dial. However, as you said, it would look much nicer and balances out much better if they would have used a nice metal bracelet. Nonetheless nice looking watch, Jody. thanks for your review.

With that round of applause still ringing in my ears.... too big, too thick BUT it really looks nice. Loving the hidden lugs and agree the hand set looks great as does the dial. Same watch 42mm 200m (so thinner) and solid case back Winner! Another cracking review Jody, take a standing ovation sir. Tell you what save that for the dive watch round up, can’t wait for that. 😁👍

Spinnaker do make some good looking watches. Think this one is too big for me, and really not sure about the Kipper tie minute hand. But I'm sure it will go down well with many others. Great review as always 👍

Moons and nickels Jody , moons and nickels

They look cool the spinnakers, but they are all too large and thick for my taste.

Jody, another great video😎👍 Have seen this brand a lot on IG but this was the first real close view of one and seems nice for the price.

Hi Jody! Not quite the same price point but maybe check out hte Damasko DSub2. You do get a lot of watch and technology for the money and those plongeur hands you like. Cheers

at this point i think i've seen this watch on every single watch channel that i follow :)

Hi Jody, Recently saw your video's on the starking watches and even though I thought they were really cheap I find that they lack a bit of character. Then I got a video recommended on the Gladster L8002G. Same price and similar specs with a bit more design. Might be a nice review in the future!

I would love this if it was a few mm thinner. Cool looking watch.

WOW! Love it :) Certainly one to consider!

Hi Jody. The dial (minus the giant minute claw) has a hint of Glycine Combat Sub elements. Such a huge and chunky time piece. Nonetheless, thanks for the review 👍

If you're doing a vintage theme, I think the new Bulova Devil Diver deserves a review.

Nice watch Jody, did they give you this one. Marc, from Long Island, is sporting a new model he reviewed, unknown what model though. Thanx Jody.

I feel like people that hate on mineral crystal have never owned a mineral crystal piece. Cause i have a few and they hold up just fine. But if you like 45mm cases....we probably have different taste :)

I quite like it!

Please do a review of a Holuns watch. They're quartz and supposedly have sapphire crystal. Very reasonably priced. SS001 and/or PT001

Looking foward to your sub-$300 top 10 diver review Jody ! I’m gonna guess - Robert legrand or phoibos 007 will be top contenders ?!

You have to review the spinnaker fleus with the rose gold accent

Just going online to look for a Mad Magazine compilation book..(middle shelf next to watch winders)LOL.

Moons and Nichols LOL!

I like it, but I think a bit big for my wrist... not sure if I'll risk it... I do like the way it looks. Decisions, decisions

Would’ve loved a more curved case in a 40-41 mil size. I like the hidden lugs and the mesh bracelets on some pieces. The dial is solid, great design and color scheme. Not a fan of Mercedes hands. Overall good looking piece may have to try it and see if I can deal with the shape and if not I’ll sell it, I’m sure I can move it quickly. Great review as always. I can’t wait to see your video on the sub $300 diver best of. From one Scot to another keep up the great work!

Your Seiko SNZH has a hardlex bezel.

Hey Jody, have you heard of merci instruments watches?? If your interested could you possibly do a review please😁😁

Highlight of the video: finding out there isn't a odd local saying about 'moons and nickles...' Refreshing after watching all of his videos :) :) :) There you have it!!!

45mm. That is a no then. Thorough and well paced. Cheers.

Great review and watch! and I've just gone to there's website and I'm concidering it!

wow such a beautiful watch ....Great preice

Love the dial. Hmm. Maybe I can wear it on my ankle. :-/

Interesting review. Well done Jody, but where has the lume pip on the bezel gone?

Please Jody, no more Chinese crap This one is awesome 😊

Make the hour hand bigger get rid of 1000ft off the dial put a 28000bph movement in the watch - winner.

I,d never buy a watch over 40mm,but its not a bad looking tool kind of watch.

Quite like this one but not keen on the case should of been more cushion case so it wore better. Also if they do those hidden lugs wish they did drilled holes. Also detest when they don’t just do display backs as optional. It’s a Seiko movement for god sake not a patek. A real shame about those bits or I would of snapped one up I like the dial style and bass for a 70s diver but I know those other issues would have me putting something else on in the morning.

Jody...Can I get the "buying you Tshirts gig"

I recently watched your microband video and really liked the summary of movements.. since then I cancelled a kickstarter pledge due to a rather low-quality Miyota movement.. is there any chance you could do a bit more on this topic.. i.e a listing of movements by quality and cost. The Miyota movements at the low-end stutter.. which will, in my opinion, spoil the experience of any watch.

Funny I was literally just looking at this on their website

Supple is a better word to describe soft plastic, FYI

Love the design of the dial and the hands. But overall to bulky for my taste (and my wrists...)

SuhhhWeeeet tee shirt Jody! Cheers!

Question everyone: what would you say is the best dive watch around $800 or a bit less with sapphire, milled clasp, preferably Swiss made, that I can keep long term? I know thats a loaded question, but I've been struggling with this for months.

Those crabs with one big claw...they’re called fiddler crabs. So now you know!

Looks cool... Just a bit to big. Great video and review.

I love the 70s and this watch is suitably striking. Unfortunately, that 15mm thickness and mineral crystal kill it for me. Thanks for the review, Jody.

NICE!

Gorgeous

Jody nice review on the “dumbass” ala Shawshank redemption, looking forward to the best dive watches under $300 review.

Love a diver

Hiya ,Jodie,I am beginning a deep thought on the back of your Chinese specials and the other micro brand market? I would be naive to suspect a lot of these microbrands are not made by the same companies that give us Chinese specials possibly? Minus a branding? I know I was not born yesterday looking in the mirror but? Price differences are huge.. But that spinnaker I edge my bets is Chinese? I have no issues with all that its business but? Get my vibe? And guess what another diver? Sekonda do a pretty good job if you don't mind a good quartz for pennies and then for an all around jobbie Casio pulls no Punch's and kicks in the gentleman's more sensitive areas! Cheers.Len.

Very nice watch, I really like it but too big for me. I usually am ok with the size of watches but this one is a bit too big. Nice watch overall though.

Not a bad looking watch but too large and too thick for me. I think you said it was not Safire glass and has the same movement from Seiko that they put in $ 50 dollar Invicta diver. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Does not seem worth the money. The other question is where is Spinaker made?

Good mouning. I have no nickles nor am i going to moon about this one. I like it very mouch.

Spinnaker website says sapphire crystal.

bezel reminds me of Aquis a bit and those hands a bit Ploprof.

Looks great but I don't know if I could get away with it because of the size and how it wears

very nice i like cheers

Spinnaker quality is very good for its price, my only suggestion for them is, please put their watch on diet, its all too big n thick

Its a decent looking thing but I think it will only work on top of a wetsuit sleeve as a cheaper/poverty alternative to a Ploprof.. And it would help if it was 1972 and your name was Jaques.......

I guess that I've watched Trainspotting enough times that I always got "moans and niggles." Now, all I get is "moons and nickels."

Do you think that someone with 6 inch wrist could pull it off

Hey Jody, For how long does the discount code work? 😬

"can we make it thicker?" - spinnaker exec.

I like it maybe change strap.

I really like the dial but not a fan of the case.

Too big. The octagonal shape reminds me of one of those Italian moka coffee pots and nearly as tall. Having said that, a watch that could make you a brew sounds like a great idea.

The 24 hour markings perplex me. The dial with its raised indices was attractive without it and now they've just cluttered up the dial for no good reason. This is not a GMT watch and its not a military watch so the 13 to 24 markings are about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. Also, hour hands are the ones that are traditionally thicker so this one goes against well established horological design language. Fix these two points (and maybe the bezel insert) and it's a winner.

Nice, but I prefer my Turtle - cheaper,a known quantity & an iconic watch by the original manufacturer. The Spinnaker is another microbrand "inspired by" someone else's design , made by a company that has little history & an unknown future. I do like the style, but wouldn't buy a microbrand watch that lacked originality & was such good value that it was irresistible (I own a Christopher Ward Classic for example) Good review, Cheers 👍⌚

Still prefer my Dan Henry 1970 Automatic ( Seiko NH 35) Diver; and sub $300 USD. Great video Jody.

I would never get a Spinnaker you could get good Swiss made quality for $280 and a diver too, but this one... On the mesh strap... Man now that would be a beautiful watch. Looks way more expensive than it is, if I ever decide to buy a Spinnaker it would be this one. It's definitely not the good awful leather strap 150 meter water resistance never comes with a metal bracelet but always does come with a godawful miyota 8 thousand series movement over priced trash of a watch you usually see outta Spinnaker. I am very impressed, well done Spinnaker well done. It gets the nod from me at the $280 price point although no other Spinnaker ever has. Like I said before they are usually over priced trash, sorry just my opinion, and unfortunately the truth.

Hey everyone in the comments listen to the video he says it has a SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL

prometheus trireme !

Toss this one in the basura. You're better than that Jody.
