What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Oblvlo IM Tourbillon

Owners widely praise the Oblvlo IM Tourbillon for its skeletonized dial and carbon fiber case finishing, noting it looks more expensive than its price. However, some owners find the minute markers difficult to read, impacting time setting, and accuracy averages around -10 seconds per day. Concerns also exist regarding long-term reliability and parts availability for Chinese tourbillons. On balance, owners rate the Oblvlo IM Tourbillon highly for its visually striking aesthetic and perceived value, despite practical readability and accuracy drawbacks.

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.
