What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Massena LAB Dato-Racer

Owners widely praise the Massena LAB Dato-Racer as an excellent everyday watch, appreciating its blend of 1970s-inspired aesthetics with modern dimensions. This model is a limited edition of 99 pieces. On balance, owners rate the Massena LAB Dato-Racer highly for its successful fusion of vintage design and contemporary wearability.

Phoibos Apollo Dlc

The Phoibos Apollo Dlc is lauded for its lightweight, scratch-resistant titanium case and unique granular black dial texture. Owners praise its comfortable 41mm x 48mm x 12.5mm dimensions and exceptional lume performance. However, the rocket-shaped hands are noted as making time-telling difficult in low light, and the non-tapering bracelet is a drawback for some. Some users question its value proposition, with one noting that a tourbillon can be found at the same price point as an NH35-powered Phoibos. Overall, owners appreciate the Phoibos Apollo Dlc for its distinctive design and comfortable titanium build, despite some functional and value concerns.
