What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ferro Race Master Automatic

Owners widely praise the Ferro Race Master Automatic for its value, with one enthusiast highlighting the British racing green dial, strong lume, beautifully engraved case back, and comfortable 39mm brushed steel case. The transparent movement descriptions are also appreciated. However, one owner reported poor communication and suspected delays regarding a pre-production order. On balance, owners rate the Ferro Race Master Automatic highly for its dial aesthetics and comfortable wearability at its price point.

Phoibos Reef Master

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Reef Master for its exceptional value, highlighting its sapphire crystal, DLC coating, and extensive BGW9 lume. The watch is noted for its cool lume, with one owner finding it not bulky despite its robust build. The Shamrock Green dial and texture are highly praised, as is the comfortable bracelet with solid end links. However, the bezel action is described as rough, and the basic folding clasp is a disappointment. Accuracy is reported as excellent, with one owner seeing +-2 sec/day. Some find the 42mm size almost too big for their wrists, and the date window is considered too small. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Reef Master highly for its impressive feature set and value at its price point.
