Product Description
Archaeologist and underwater explorer Edward Lee Spence was addicted to hunting for hidden gems and sunken artifacts. The Spinnaker Spence, which bears his name, would certainly pique his interest if plucked from a forgotten treasure chest at the bottom of the ocean Read More
I wore it almost every day for almost 2 years and it gave up on me. Not sure what happened, but the movement starting making a scratchy noise and it stopped shortly after.
Solid watch, great Seiko NH35 movement, wore the watch for 5 days straight and it only gained 4 seconds, that's better then my Rolex. Everything about the watch is top notch, strap is really excellent, I would expect to pay $50 just for a strap of this quality. The only thing you could add to make it perfect would be a ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal. But lets get real, for $110 this watch was a steal!
I've been fairly pleased with this watch, and, for the money, I think that it's an excellent buy. The hand wind feature is nice to have, the bold colors offer a nice little visual pop to keep it interesting looking, and, aside from a bezel that doesn't line up quite right (which seems like a common issue), I haven't had any real problems out of the watch. The included "leather" strap is so-so quality, and rather than gaining character with wear it just looks kind of ratty. To be fair, it's far from the nicest I've encountered but it's also certainly not the worst. I will say that I was pleased to see that the included straps are a bit on the longer side, which is great if you're someone that has giant, gorilla wrists, such as myself (and the primary reason that I've kept the included leather strap on it).
The primary reason that I'm giving this a 4 star rating is related to the overall purchase experience. I had ordered the model with the white dial but received a black dial model. Don't get me wrong, I like the black dial (the blue really is gorgeous), but I really just preferred the color combination on the white dial version. Upon contacting Massdrop support the person with whom I corresponded was very friendly and did their best to make the situation right, but, unfortunately, there was no way to exchange the watch I received for the one that I had ordered (I figured this would be the case when I contacted them). In the end I given the option of returning the watch for a full refund or keeping it and receiving a partial refund. I liked the black well enough, so I just decided to keep it. Support was great, but I feel as though this was a mistake that was probably pretty easy to avoid in the first place. This unfortunate mixup marred what would have been an otherwise great transaction.
Bought the white dial. Looks good. Gave it to my 9YO daughter as her first automatic watch. She LOVED it, until the 12 o'clock index fell off and is floating around in the case. Massdrop referred me to the warranty service. There is a warranty, but they charge $25 to look at it, and you have to pay for shipping. $35 to look at a $119 watch doesn't seem worth it to me. I'll take it apart and re-attach the index myself. Hopefully it is the last one that falls off.
