Miyota

Miyota's premium automatic caliber positioned as a Japanese alternative to the ETA 2824-2 and Sellita SW200-1. The 9015 adds hacking, hand-winding, and a smoother 28,800 vph beat rate over the budget 8215. Its thinner profile and higher jewel count make it a favorite among microbrands seeking a reliable mid-range movement that punches above its price point.

The Phoibos Narwhal is praised for its captivating aventurine and Howlite dials, and its 38mm case is noted to wear well on smaller wrists, with one owner comparing its profile to a vintage Zenith El Primero. Some owners appreciate the brand's quality for the price, with one describing the case shape as resembling an integrated bracelet. However, criticisms include misaligned markers and a tilted date window, with one owner finding the hands to be too thick. The watch is considered by some to be overpriced at $480, with a slabby design and difficult-to-size bracelet links. Opinions are split on the 38mm size, with some finding it wears larger than expected, and the brand's logo is polarizing. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Narwhal highly for its unique dial options and distinctive case design at its price point, despite some concerns regarding finishing consistency.
