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 Thinline Small Second Quartz

Owners widely praise the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz for its excellent value around $300, thin profile at 7mm to 8.4mm, and clean dial design with superb applied hour numerals and dauphine hands. One owner finds its champagne dial particularly upscale. However, the lume is considered terrible, barely lasting a few minutes, and the crown is noted as very small and difficult to manipulate. On balance, owners rate the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Small Second Quartz highly for its thinness and clean dial design at the price.

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.
