What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Leviathan

Owners widely report the Phoibos Leviathan offers a vintage experience at an affordable price due to its proportions and conservative design. However, the watch is considered well-made and sturdy but quite heavy, with a 45mm x 54mm lug-to-lug case and a 15.5mm thickness, leading some owners to replace the stock band. On balance, owners rate the Phoibos Leviathan highly for its vintage feel and sturdy build at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch features 500m water resistance and a Seiko NH35 automatic movement. The case size is a point of contention, with reviewers noting it is substantial and may overwhelm smaller wrists, while others highlight a 40mm case size as an improvement.

Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB

Owners widely praise the Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB for its dial printing, date wheel, and bezel action. One owner confirmed the watch remained waterproof after five days. However, some owners report minor issues such as a slightly off-centered 12 marker or dissatisfaction with bracelet quality, while another felt the crystal was not the best but still looked great. Overall, owners rate the Shiro Kara Daibāzu: Hulk SUB highly for its strong dial and bezel presentation at the price point.
