What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bremont The Meta Kronos

Bremont The Meta Kronos is praised for its comfortable 40mm size, retro sapphire crystal, and simple dial. Owners note its GMT function and call it a "strap monster." This specific Meta employee edition is a custom S302 Kronos GMT limited to around 54 pieces, featuring a modified automatic movement, GMT functionality, and a custom dial with "move fast" text and Meta-specific colors. It is offered for $3700 plus shipping. On balance, owners value Bremont The Meta Kronos for its wearable size and classic dive watch aesthetic.

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.
