Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Boderry SEATURTLE.OCEAN - Automatic Diver Watch (NH35 movement) for its exceptional value, citing its original design, sapphire crystal, and thin 11.7mm profile for an NH35 movement. One owner reports an accuracy of -1 second per day, while another notes the titanium case and 100m water resistance are well-executed. Some owners report issues with the NH35 movement stopping, though others have had no problems with the brand. A rattling sound, noted by some owners, is considered normal for the NH35 movement and is deemed acceptable given the low price point. Overall, owners rate the Boderry SEATURTLE.OCEAN - Automatic Diver Watch (NH35 movement) highly for its impressive feature set and design at its price point.
The Phoibos Voyager is praised for its attractive MOP dial, good overall finishing, and fun octopus logo, with one owner describing it as "brutalist" and "a tank" with well-aligned elements. However, the red lettering on the red date wheel at 6 o'clock is illegible, and the 13.5mm thick case can be prone to accidental knocks. On balance, owners appreciate the Phoibos Voyager for its distinctive dial and robust build quality, despite legibility issues with the date wheel.
The NH34 movement is a significant positive. The lume could be brighter.
