What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Phoibos Voyager

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Voyager for its attractive MOP dial and good overall finishing, along with its fun octopus logo. However, reviewers and owners alike note that the red lettering on the red date wheel is illegible, and one owner reports the 13.5mm thick case can be prone to accidental knocks. On balance, owners rate the Phoibos Voyager highly for its attractive dial and finishing at the price point.

WatchCrunch

Longines ELEGANT COLLECTION

The Longines Elegant Collection is widely appreciated for its value and the complications offered at its price point. However, some owners find the case finishing could be improved, and certain variants are noted as being thick with sub-dials that can be difficult to read. On balance, owners view the Longines Elegant Collection as a satisfying watch, particularly for its value and complications.
