Phoibos ApollovsGarrick S3 Timepiece

The Phoibos Apollo is widely praised for its unique design, outstanding lume, and lightweight titanium build, with owners highlighting its comfortable 41mm wearability and value powered by a Miyota 9015 movement. Some find the "rocket" hand design hinders quick time-telling, and the bracelet does not taper. A few owners consider its price point high relative to other titanium and bronze offerings. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Apollo highly for its distinctive aesthetic and excellent lume at the price.

Owners widely praise the Garrick S3 Timepiece for its bespoke experience and spectacular finished product, with one owner finding it beautiful. Reviewers note the hand-frosted brass dial and open-worked dial options, as well as the high level of manual finishing. The manually wound UT-G04 and in-house DB-G07 calibres are regulated to less than 3 seconds per day and offer a 45-hour power reserve. One reviewer flags that the central hands lack sufficient contrast for quick time reading. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Garrick S3 Timepiece highly for its impressive finishing and bespoke nature.
