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.

Zelos Swordfish 3

Owners widely praise the Zelos Swordfish 3 for its strong value, with reviewers highlighting the textured sandwich dial, Seiko NH35 movement, 200m water resistance, and surprisingly good bracelet. The titanium construction is noted for making the watch compact and comfortable, weighing 117g. Some owners find the dimensions fine on paper and based on experience with other models. One reviewer flagged that legibility can suffer in bright light and bracelet edges are sharp. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Swordfish 3 highly for its incredible value and fun design, particularly with unique dial options.
