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.

Spinnaker Fleuss

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Fleuss for its retro design, textured dial, and good value, with many noting it looks better in person than in photos. The watch is appreciated for its robust construction and finishing, especially when found at a discount. Some owners report good timekeeping and a decent power reserve. However, the Spinnaker Fleuss GMT is criticized by some for its large case size, which can affect proportions and numeral legibility. One owner experienced a broken crown after a fall, while another noted concerns about the acrylic bezel's durability. The lume is described as adequate but not exceptional. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Fleuss highly for its retro aesthetic and value proposition, particularly when purchased on sale.
