What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 is praised for its in-house Calibre 403 movement offering a 120-hour power reserve and a 10-year warranty. Owners and reviewers highlight its good finishing, inspired dial design with luminous Arabic numerals, and the analog date complication for quick checks. The 40mm stainless steel case is 12.3mm thick with 50 meters of water resistance. Some owners find the 40mm size perfect, while others prefer the 36mm version. The deer leather strap's clasp scratches easily, and the higher price point compared to standard models is a point of discussion, with a noted owner concern about time-setting accuracy not yet addressed. Overall, owners and reviewers value the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 for its impressive performance and refreshed aesthetic at its price point.

Phoibos Wave Master GMT

The Phoibos Wave Master GMT is widely praised for its attractive design, comfortable 20mm tapering bracelet, and wearability on a 7" wrist, with owners finding it a strong value proposition at $220. Some minor finishing flaws, such as slightly crooked markers and off-center dial numbers, are noted by one owner, while accuracy averages around 5-10 seconds over two weeks. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Wave Master GMT highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Wave Master GMT's notable feature is its 200M water resistance. A drawback is the rattle of the bracelet. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer noting its significant weight for a 39.5mm case diameter, but the other reviewer doesn't mention any specific weaknesses or trade-offs.
