What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Narwhal

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Narwhal's 38mm size and slim 11.5mm height for a 200m diver, noting it wears well on smaller wrists and its case shape resembles an integrated bracelet. The aventurine and Howlite dials are described as captivating, and some appreciate the contrast finishing and retro looks. However, some owners criticize misaligned markers and a tilted date window, with one owner finding the hands thick and popsicle-style. The value proposition is debated, with some finding it a good buy at $390 but others considering $480-$490 too much due to a slabby design and difficult-to-size bracelet. On balance, owners find the Phoibos Narwhal appealing for its design and wearability, though quality control and pricing are points of contention for some.

From video reviewers

The unique stone dial is a significant strength. The bracelet's refinement is a weakness. Reviewers disagree on the dial's appeal, with one highlighting its sunburst effect and applied indices, while another focuses on the natural stone variation.

Tornek-Rayville TR-660 Aluminum Non-date

Owners praise the Tornek-Rayville TR-660 Aluminum Non-date for its crisp dial and bead-blasted case, with one owner finding it extremely well built and a relief to wear. The watch features a 40mm 316L stainless steel case and a black aluminum bezel inlay. However, the bezel action is considered not brilliant and the included straps are scratchy. Overall, owners find the Tornek-Rayville TR-660 Aluminum Non-date to be a well-executed piece with a pleasing aesthetic, despite minor drawbacks in the bezel feel and strap quality.
