What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Wave Master GMT

The Phoibos Wave Master GMT is widely praised for its attractive design, comfortable 20mm tapering bracelet, and wearability on a 7" wrist, with owners finding it a strong value proposition at $220. Some minor finishing flaws, such as slightly crooked markers and off-center dial numbers, are noted by one owner, while accuracy averages around 5-10 seconds over two weeks. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Wave Master GMT highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Wave Master GMT's notable feature is its 200M water resistance. A drawback is the rattle of the bracelet. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer noting its significant weight for a 39.5mm case diameter, but the other reviewer doesn't mention any specific weaknesses or trade-offs.

CIGA Design GORILLA

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design GORILLA for its incredible wrist presence, unique skeletonized design with purple accents, and exceptional value under $400, with one owner highlighting its quality and scratch resistance from Gorilla glass. Reviewers note the watch's striking, Hublot-esque aesthetic and shock-resistant suspension system. However, legibility can be challenging, lume is weak, and the CD-01 movement gains approximately 17 seconds per day with a 40-hour power reserve. Community sentiment is divided, with some finding the design "hideous" while others enthusiastically recommend it as affordable, interesting, and cool. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CIGA Design GORILLA highly for its bold, unconventional design and accessible price point.
