This G-shock is a real favorite! Different from the other models in the range without denying its lineage. With its horns it looks like a "normal" watch while retaining its "indestructible" watch DNA.
I was first attracted by its "Carbon Core Guard" structure. The use of this modern material resonated in my soul as a motorsport enthusiast. Then, its black and turquoise blue colors seduced me. They evoke for me, all propositions kept, certain Richard Mille seen on the wrist of Sébastien Loeb in particular. Both by the colors and by the use of carbon.

Although imposing like many G-shocks, it is really comfortable to wear because it is very light. Its shape fits perfectly on my wrist and the hard resin case back adds even more comfort.
The dial gives off a great feeling of depth and is very pleasant to look at.
Solid and reliable, it is one of my favorite companions when I do DIY, gardening or play sports.

A watch that is solid, reliable, fun and colorful!

A piece of sky on the wrist

I received this Spinnaker as a gift a year and a half ago. I don't think I would have chosen it and yet. I find something "magnetic" about it. I never tire of looking at it from every angle. Its sandblasted dial, shaded petrol blue is sublime and it goes very well with the cream indexes as well as the gold hands. Its Miyota 8218 movement with small seconds drifts by about -5s/d.

<h2 dir="ltr">Quality and Manufacturing</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Spinnaker manufactures its watches in different locations around the world, including Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom and China.
