What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Duxot Tortuga

Owners widely consider the Duxot Tortuga a cool-looking, unique watch with trustworthy water resistance. Some owners find the bezel visually appealing, though one notes it feels cheaper than that on a Bulova Surveyor. The Duxot Tortuga is considered by some to be slightly overpriced, with movements appearing to be off-the-shelf Japanese calibers. On balance, owners view the Duxot Tortuga positively for its unique design and reliable water resistance, despite some feeling it is overpriced.

Phoibos Leviathan

Owners widely report the Phoibos Leviathan offers a vintage experience at an affordable price due to its proportions and conservative design. However, the watch is considered well-made and sturdy but quite heavy, with a 45mm x 54mm lug-to-lug case and a 15.5mm thickness, leading some owners to replace the stock band. On balance, owners rate the Phoibos Leviathan highly for its vintage feel and sturdy build at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch features 500m water resistance and a Seiko NH35 automatic movement. The case size is a point of contention, with reviewers noting it is substantial and may overwhelm smaller wrists, while others highlight a 40mm case size as an improvement.
