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.

Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse

The Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse is a rugged, dive-capable field watch, an evolution of a 1990s military concept. It features a 42.5mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, and a Seiko NH36 automatic movement with a 40-hour power reserve. The dial is busy but functional, and the watch features Super-LumiNova BGW9. On balance, reviewers note the Tornek-Rayville Blakjak Time-elapse is a modernized military watch with robust dive capabilities.
