What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Apollo Titanium

The Phoibos Apollo Titanium Dark Matter Blue is described as beautiful and unique, with one owner noting it as their first Chinese watch. One owner reports small marks on the case, bracelet, bezel, and case back, but otherwise finds the watch in very good condition. On balance, owners find the Phoibos Apollo Titanium to be a visually appealing and unique timepiece.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
