What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Hamilton Jazzmaster Auto Chrono

Owners widely praise the Hamilton Jazzmaster Auto Chrono for its value and dressy yet substantial look. The H-31 or adapted 7753 movement is noted, alongside a 60-hour power reserve. Some owners prefer a 3-6-9 subdial layout or a smaller case size, and the movement's thickness makes it unsuitable for those seeking a slim watch. On balance, owners rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Auto Chrono highly for its value and refined aesthetic.

Phoibos Wave Master GMT

The Phoibos Wave Master GMT is widely praised for its attractive design, comfortable 20mm tapering bracelet, and wearability on a 7" wrist, with owners finding it a strong value proposition at $220. Some minor finishing flaws, such as slightly crooked markers and off-center dial numbers, are noted by one owner, while accuracy averages around 5-10 seconds over two weeks. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Wave Master GMT highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Wave Master GMT's notable feature is its 200M water resistance. A drawback is the rattle of the bracelet. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer noting its significant weight for a 39.5mm case diameter, but the other reviewer doesn't mention any specific weaknesses or trade-offs.
