What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Sugess Seestern S456 GMT

Owners widely praise the Sugess Seestern S456 GMT for its excellent case finishing, deep blue sunburst dial, and crisp indices, with one owner rating the overall fit and finish 9.5 out of 10. The watch is noted for its legibility, strong lume that lasts about 4 hours, and accurate timekeeping around -4 seconds per day, with easy GMT hand adjustment. Some owners report issues with a loose or friction-based unidirectional bezel, while others find theirs tight and prefer a bidirectional GMT bezel. The sapphire crystal is described as clear and flat by some, but others find it very reflective with AR coating that could be improved. Sizing is generally considered good at 39mm with a 46mm lug-to-lug and 12mm thickness, though one owner expresses concern about its 49mm lug-to-lug and 41mm bezel diameter. Overall, owners rate the Sugess Seestern S456 GMT highly for its impressive finishing and dial at its price point.
