Phoibos LeviathanvsSquale Matic

The Phoibos Leviathan is noted for its sturdy, well-made construction and vintage aesthetic, offering a conservative design at an affordable price. Owners report the 45mm case feels heavy and thick at 15.5mm, with one owner replacing the stock band. The watch features a grey dial and blue lume. Overall, owners find the Phoibos Leviathan to be a well-built, vintage-inspired watch at an accessible price point.

Owners widely praise the Squale Matic for its superb finishing and comfortable wearability, with many noting its vintage-inspired design and the 4 o'clock crown contributing to a compact feel on the wrist despite its 44mm size. Reviewers highlight the outstanding lume on the hands and the double-domed sapphire crystal as favorite features, while some owners find the bezel insert glossy and the lume on the orange indices to be almost non-existent. One owner dislikes how the oyster bracelet terminates at the springbars instead of sitting flush with the case. The Squale Matic is powered by a Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Squale Matic highly for its robust build quality and comfortable, vintage-inspired ergonomics at its price point.
