What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward

Owners widely praise the Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward for its comfortable, thin, and light wearability, with one owner noting a perfect case width and another highlighting its 10.7mm thickness. The bi-directional GMT bezel is described as decent for its price, and the movement is considered fine and accurate, making it a low-key travel watch. The bracelet is also noted as well-made and finished for the price. On balance, owners rate the Lorier Hyperion SII Skyward highly for its comfortable wearability and value as a mechanical GMT.

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.
