What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Monta Skyquest

Owners widely praise the Monta Skyquest's build quality and bracelet finishing, with one owner noting its superior articulation and another calling it outstanding for the price. Reviewers highlight its wearability, sporty yet dressy aesthetic, bold aluminum bezel, and bright lume, powered by a Sellita SW330 movement. Some owners find the bezel numeral style polarizing, the GMT hand kinked, and the bezel rotation stiff with silent clicks. The clasp is described as a tight fit and long by some, and the watch wears larger than expected, though its low weight and slim side profile are noted positives. Accuracy for the SW330 movement is considered good by some, with 300m WR and a slim case profile also cited. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Monta Skyquest highly for its exceptional bracelet finishing and versatile design at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Monta Skyquest GMT features an excellent bracelet, praised by multiple reviewers for its high quality and smooth action. A notable trade-off is the lume brightness, which could be improved. Reviewers disagree on whether the watch's price justifies its cost, with some considering it one of the most expensive GMTs under $3,000 and others viewing it as a strong contender in the under $3000 GMT market.

Phoibos Leviathan

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Leviathan for its excellent value, superb case finishing, and generous lume. The watch is described as visually striking, legible, and well-made, with a unique case design, sapphire crystal, and a comfortable FKM strap or excellent bracelet with a milled clasp and quick adjustments. Some owners note the bezel's staggered jimping can cause fingers to slip, and the beveled crystal can distort the view of indices. Accuracy varies, with one owner reporting losing 5-10 seconds per day without a winder, while others state it keeps accurate time out of the box. The watch is frequently described as heavy and thick, with some owners finding it too large for wrists smaller than 7.5 inches, although newer models feature an improved clasp for better comfort and functionality. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Leviathan highly for its striking design and impressive finishing at an accessible price point.
