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.

Spinnaker Fleuss

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Fleuss for its retro design, textured dial, and good value, with many noting it looks better in person than in photos. The watch is appreciated for its robust construction and finishing, especially when found at a discount. Some owners report good timekeeping and a decent power reserve. However, the Spinnaker Fleuss GMT is criticized by some for its large case size, which can affect proportions and numeral legibility. One owner experienced a broken crown after a fall, while another noted concerns about the acrylic bezel's durability. The lume is described as adequate but not exceptional. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Fleuss highly for its retro aesthetic and value proposition, particularly when purchased on sale.
