Spinnaker Fleuss GMT Automatic - my favorite diver?

The colors drew me in, the quality keeps it in my collection. The Spinnaker Fleuss GMT Automatic. It doesn’t break new ground, but it is a solid, well made and gorgeous daily wear GMT with a lot of flexibility right out of the box.

They make a 3-hand auto and a GMT auto in the Fleuss model, so there’s a huge variety of colorways to choose from.

You can see them all here on Spinnaker’s website:

I’ll definitely be checking back later with a long term review, since I already know this will be getting a LOT of wrist time.

Awesome Fleuss review that is having me put one in my cart. You MUST get a Piccard! It turned me on to Spinnaker as the Fleuss did for you. Sure, the Piccard is a beast on wrist but it is so so cool.

Thanks for pointing out that many of us need/want a little bigger watch. I have big hands and big wrists and a 39 mm just looks like a kid's watch on me.

I've always appreciated your vast expertise on just about every product that you review my friend Be well and Thanks for sharing as always 👍

Jim, Brother your tracks are Seriously is there any playlist I can rock these tracks!?

[gregalonzo]

You make a great case. I totally agree with you on size. I am right in the middle. My sweet spot is 43mm.

[TheDiveWatcher]

AMEN! I received a ton of hate and major push back on my channel for calling out all the girly feminine men who say a 42mm is too big and too heavy.... I'm like seriously. Really. I had become disgusted with the watch industry for no longer making 42mm or larger. Well said and Amen!

[TheDiveWatcher]

For over 23 years since my very beginning of buying and collecting high end dive watches, I began with a Tag Heuer Link Chrono 42mm. I have never owned a 40mm or smaller watch. I'm not faulting those that do but I am calling out the majority of dive watch brands for selling out! Make both but don't cater to the girl sized wrists and my wrist isn't large at 7.25.

Was given a black Fleuss last year and it's now my favourite watch, sits well on an 8 3/4 inch wrist, keeps great time for an NH35. The new colours look great, especially the one you featured.

[davidbennett]

I have one ordered and I'm really hoping it's as nice as I think it's going to be. My only concern was that it might be too big. I have a 7-in wrist. I'm hoping I really like it and it looks good on my wrist. My everyday wear is a pro Trek ABC by Casio. I wouldn't wear anything bigger than that. That one's really pushing it but I love the watch so I wear it. I'm pretty sure my Casio is bigger than 43 mm.

[davidbennett]

As far as the size of the watch goes, I think it just depends on the watch and the wearer. I know that my buddy who collects Rolex is and omegas likes the 39. He feels like those are ideal and in truth if that's what Rolex is making, then you at least have a decent argument. Most guys can't help the size of their wrist. I wish I had an 8-in wrist as well as other body parts but I don't. 7 in will have to do at least for my wrist. What's the best size for 7-in wrist? Honestly, I don't know yet, but I'm hoping the 43 is a good size.

[davidbennett]

What do you mean the "no, no hours"? Can't I just set the date and time anytime I want?

[drew]

LOL the song cracked me up - and YES, why is everyone clamoring for and making sub-40mm watches? Of course I don't want a satellite dish on my wrist, but I also don't want to wear a child's watch. 43mm is a great sweetspot.

[Watch_your_Money]

Hi...after looking for some years now at your prime knife reviews, I was expecting Pateks or Vacherons in your watch channel. Don´t get me wrong Jim, Spinnaker is a great watch but for you is like doing Spydeco or Benchmade reviews..

[drevill]

I’m digging your channel!!.. just found it and subbed…. 👍👍😁… I don’t agree with your opinion of men’s watch size. Men’s watch sizes were much smaller 60 years ago and that was the fashion then big watches are the fashion now and I think they are both “manly”. I realize it’s an opinion and everyone is entitled to their opinions. so no worries I’m not knocking ya, I’m just expressing my opinion. I’m glad I found ya and look forward to more reviews!!… 👍😁… rock on!!..🤘😁

[RabbitWatchShop]

Ah yes, the greatest invicta shill and scammer, Miss Skelton

[ricorelanokarijo]

So true, nowadays men are becoming more like females. Dresses also more like females..so.. the manly size watches are way too big for their small deinty wrists. I own the Tudor BB gmt 41 mm. I wished it was a 43/44 mm. And I wear 47 pams. So. Now I'm tempted to get this Spinnaker 🤔

[CocoKoi]

wow dudes already on with the toxic masculinity and body shaming

[RabbitWatchShop]

42mm to 44mm is not “standard size” in any market. It is extra large. Standard size is between 39mm to 41mm.

[Timetrends-nt]

They make nice watches but i'll never buy one just because of the name. Thanks

[baandoptager]

Wtf is that crappy song? Major turnoff!
