What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Eagle Ray

The Phoibos Eagle Ray is praised for its solid build quality and affordable GMT functionality. Owners appreciate its sawtooth bezel and crown, finding it a great value for its price and features. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Eagle Ray highly for its functional GMT complication and robust construction at an accessible price point.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
