Reviews

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

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.

Synchron Poseidon

Owners widely praise the Synchron Poseidon for its vintage-inspired diver aesthetics, easy-to-read dial, and precise, grippy bezel. The La Joux-Perret G100 movement is consistently noted as a strong point, with owners reporting good timekeeping, one seeing accuracy around -4 seconds per day, and others highlighting its 68-hour power reserve. The winding action and crown operation are described as reassuring, with one reviewer stating it surpasses watches at double the price. Some find the design busy or the branding confusing, and the blasted finish on the steel bezel rim contrasts with the brushed case. One owner noted the included Isofrane strap can be long for smaller wrists. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Synchron Poseidon highly for its robust build, reliable movement, and excellent value.
