What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Voyager

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Voyager for its attractive MOP dial and good overall finishing, along with its fun octopus logo. However, reviewers and owners alike note that the red lettering on the red date wheel is illegible, and one owner reports the 13.5mm thick case can be prone to accidental knocks. On balance, owners rate the Phoibos Voyager highly for its attractive dial and finishing at the price point.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
