What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Apollo Dlc

The Phoibos Apollo Dlc is lauded for its lightweight, scratch-resistant titanium case and unique granular black dial texture. Owners praise its comfortable 41mm x 48mm x 12.5mm dimensions and exceptional lume performance. However, the rocket-shaped hands are noted as making time-telling difficult in low light, and the non-tapering bracelet is a drawback for some. Some users question its value proposition, with one noting that a tourbillon can be found at the same price point as an NH35-powered Phoibos. Overall, owners appreciate the Phoibos Apollo Dlc for its distinctive design and comfortable titanium build, despite some functional and value concerns.

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.
