What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bremont The Meta Kronos

Bremont The Meta Kronos is praised for its comfortable 40mm size, retro sapphire crystal, and simple dial. Owners note its GMT function and call it a "strap monster." This specific Meta employee edition is a custom S302 Kronos GMT limited to around 54 pieces, featuring a modified automatic movement, GMT functionality, and a custom dial with "move fast" text and Meta-specific colors. It is offered for $3700 plus shipping. On balance, owners value Bremont The Meta Kronos for its wearable size and classic dive watch aesthetic.

Phoibos Apollo

The Phoibos Apollo is widely praised for its unique design, outstanding lume, and lightweight titanium build, with owners highlighting its comfortable 41mm wearability and value powered by a Miyota 9015 movement. Some find the "rocket" hand design hinders quick time-telling, and the bracelet does not taper. A few owners consider its price point high relative to other titanium and bronze offerings. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Apollo highly for its distinctive aesthetic and excellent lume at the price.
