What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Leviathan

Owners widely report the Phoibos Leviathan offers a vintage experience at an affordable price due to its proportions and conservative design. However, the watch is considered well-made and sturdy but quite heavy, with a 45mm x 54mm lug-to-lug case and a 15.5mm thickness, leading some owners to replace the stock band. On balance, owners rate the Phoibos Leviathan highly for its vintage feel and sturdy build at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch features 500m water resistance and a Seiko NH35 automatic movement. The case size is a point of contention, with reviewers noting it is substantial and may overwhelm smaller wrists, while others highlight a 40mm case size as an improvement.

Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch

Owners widely praise the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch for its excellent value, attractive dials with gradient effects, sapphire crystal, and 200m water resistance. The bracelet is noted by some as surprisingly quiet and smooth, and the watch is considered to wear well on smaller wrists. Some owners find the traditional circle indices less unique than other models, and a few note minor issues like slightly misaligned chapter markers or a "grindy" hand-winding feel. Overall, owners rate the Orient Mako-3 AA08 Diver Watch highly for its attractive design and value at the price point.
