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.

Gruppo Gamma Field III GMT

Owners praise the Gruppo Gamma Field III GMT for its look and value, with specific mentions of its sandwich dial and comfortable OEM straps. One owner notes incredible quality for the price across their Gruppo Gamma watches. The watch features a 40mm brushed stainless steel case, box sapphire crystal, and a Seiko NH34A movement with a 41-hour power reserve and stated accuracy of -20~+40 s/day. Some find the lack of a date window a drawback for a GMT, and question its differentiation from other NH34-powered watches. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Gruppo Gamma Field III GMT to be a good value with quality construction for its price point.
