Reviews

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

Duxot Dive Watch

Owners widely praise the Duxot Dive Watch for its attractive aesthetics, with specific callouts for the Ice Blue and root beer colorways, and the blue dial's sunburst effect. The watch is considered a functional timepiece and a good homage, with a comfortable bracelet noted by one owner, though another found it flimsy. Some owners consider the Duxot Dive Watch a steal when found under $150-$159 USD, citing sapphire crystal and a Seiko movement as key features, while others feel it is too expensive for its movement at full price. Overall, owners rate the Duxot Dive Watch highly for its appealing looks and value when purchased at a discount.

Phoibos Apollo

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Apollo for its unique design, outstanding lume, and overall quality, with many appreciating its value. Some owners, however, find the "rocket" hand design hinders quick time-telling and note the bracelet's lack of tapering. One owner also flagged the price as high relative to competitors. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Apollo highly for its distinctive aesthetics and impressive lume.

From video reviewers

The vibrant blue dial is a standout feature. The original spring bars were too close to the titanium case, preventing strap changes, but Phoibos will now include curved spring bars.
