What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino

The Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino is widely praised for its unique Byzantine art engraving across the case and bracelet, and its elegant gray fumé dial. Owners find it extremely comfortable and appreciate its solid build quality for the €900 price point. However, reviewers note that the bracelet screws are unattractive up close, and the seconds hand can be difficult to see in certain lighting conditions, impacting legibility. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Venezianico Arsenale Bizantino highly for its distinctive artistic design and comfortable wearability.

Phoibos Leviathan

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Leviathan for its excellent value, superb case finishing, and generous lume. The watch is described as visually striking, legible, and well-made, with a unique case design, sapphire crystal, and a comfortable FKM strap or excellent bracelet with a milled clasp and quick adjustments. Some owners note the bezel's staggered jimping can cause fingers to slip, and the beveled crystal can distort the view of indices. Accuracy varies, with one owner reporting losing 5-10 seconds per day without a winder, while others state it keeps accurate time out of the box. The watch is frequently described as heavy and thick, with some owners finding it too large for wrists smaller than 7.5 inches, although newer models feature an improved clasp for better comfort and functionality. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Leviathan highly for its striking design and impressive finishing at an accessible price point.
