Reviews

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

Phoibos Leviathan

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.

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.

DOXA SUB 200 II

Owners widely report the DOXA SUB 200 II wears smaller than its 44mm case size suggests due to its shape and lug length, and praise its new fumé dials. Reviewers note the collection's retro style, 200m water resistance, and the inclusion of beige Super-LumiNova. Some owners and reviewers criticize the watch for increasing in size and price, going against current downsizing trends, and the Sellita SW200-1 movement's 38-hour power reserve is flagged as less competitive than others. The Milanese bracelet is also mentioned as a potentially divisive feature, and the lack of on-the-fly clasp adjustment is noted. Overall, owners and reviewers find the DOXA SUB 200 II appealing for its retro design and unique fumé dials, despite concerns about its size and price increase.
