What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver

The Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver is a 40mm hand-wind watch with a black dial, acrylic crystal, and FKM rubber strap, powered by a Sellita SW210 manual wind movement. Owners report the watch gained one second per day, and it comes with a QC and timing report. Some find the Desk Diver a unique novelty, though many consider its $1500 price too high. The watch has 0 meters of water resistance, and its vintage case may show small marks. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver as a unique novelty, with the primary reservation being its high price for its perceived playful nature.

Phoibos Reef Master

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Reef Master for its exceptional value, highlighting its sapphire crystal, DLC coating, and extensive BGW9 lume. The watch is noted for its cool lume, with one owner finding it not bulky despite its robust build. The Shamrock Green dial and texture are highly praised, as is the comfortable bracelet with solid end links. However, the bezel action is described as rough, and the basic folding clasp is a disappointment. Accuracy is reported as excellent, with one owner seeing +-2 sec/day. Some find the 42mm size almost too big for their wrists, and the date window is considered too small. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Reef Master highly for its impressive feature set and value at its price point.
