SpinnakerHull California Men's 42mm Automatic 3 Hands Genuine Leather Strap Watch SP-5071

This is a very attractive, smart looking timepiece. Spinnaker took all the great aesthetics of the classic Rolex bubbleback and incorporated them into a modern watch. The beautiful cushion style case, California dial and sword/pencil hands all speak of simple but elegant design. They could have added Mercedes hands and made the date window slightly larger but that would be nitpicking on my part. The 42mm case is a perfect size and the tritium of both hands and numerals is clean and bright. Automatic movement and waterproof to 100M. All in all a great watch and a joy to wear.

This watch is reminiscent of a Panerai Radiomir, but it knock a digit off the price. Nice color, good texture on the dial, solidly put together, accurate through day one. I’m impressed, would highly recommend.

This review is for the product itself, the seller watches.com, Spinnaker the manufacturer, the International Watch Service Center who Spinnaker sent me to for warranty repair, and Amazon.I bought the watch recently (summer 2023). I love the look. It's weighty and distinctive. But from day one it ran very fast making me think I'd needed to send it back. It was _gaining_ minutes every day. I set it aside for a few days for no specific reason and when I returned to it, the problem had resolved. However when I put it on again two weeks later and went to set it, the crown came off along with a small black gasket (and maybe other parts I just couldn't see). I gathered them up, and put in a plastic bag and went through the list of entities involved for a repair or replacement. It was outside 30 days of purchase so Amazon and the seller were unhelpful. I went to Spinnaker the manufacturer who goes to great lengths to make sure you cannot call them. I filled out the warranty and service information and was directed to send the timepiece to International Watch Service Center at my own expense which I did. They came back saying the watch needed to be cleaned and an overhaul for around $200 and repair would cost another $100 since the issue was I damaged it. This of course was ridiculous so I went back to the seller who then had disappeared from Amazon (only to now have reappeared, surprise). My Amazon A-to-Z guarantee claim was denied by Amazon. IWSC stopped responding to my email queries and would not return my phone calls as did watches.com. After setting an auto send of an email daily to IWSC of the same email for over a week, I got notice they'd sent the watch back to me and I finally received it with said parts missing. None of the entities involved have been helpful and I now have a defective watch with a missing crown. I don't like to see reviews here that are based on slow shipping or the like vs the product, but the sellers here -- Amazon and watches.com -- leave me no choice to but review based on things like that. Thumbs down and zero stars if I could for ALL involved. This pains me a bit as this is my very first Amazon review after being here from the start when Amazon only sold books. Again the watch is nice looking. I can't really evaluate it on anything else because Amazon and watches.com refuse to engage meaningfully on what clearly was a defective product sold to me.

Received a watch different from presented in small details but yet, after 3 weeks of use needed to go to watch repair as it stopped working. Specialist said the part were not properly assembled and tightly puy together. It have tendency to be late when power reserve is on end it seems.I'm totally divided how to rate the watch.

This watch is spectacular and affordable.I have purchased several watches recently and this one is in the ‘my favorite’ category. It keeps great time when in use. Buy it
