What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Pagani Design PD-1784 GMT

Owners widely praise the Pagani Design PD-1784 GMT for its classic design and attractive dial details, with some noting favorable case brushing. However, the lume is consistently described as weak or atrocious, and several owners find the watch's 14mm thickness and thin bracelet to be drawbacks. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting a unit running +5 minutes per hour, while others do not mention specific timekeeping issues. The consensus among owners is that the Pagani Design PD-1784 GMT is overpriced above $100, with many suggesting a price point of $60-80. Overall, owners rate the Pagani Design PD-1784 GMT as a visually appealing watch with some build quality concerns and a questionable value proposition at higher price points.

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.
