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 Hull Riviera

Owners praise the Spinnaker Hull Riviera's build quality, highlighting its milled clasp, solid links, and effective anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal. The watch features a sandwich dial with Superluminova, measures 42mm in diameter, 12mm thick with a 48mm lug-to-lug span, and uses a Seiko NH35 movement. Accuracy is reported as excellent, with one owner noting a gain of only +2 seconds over seven days. The crystal is noted as being fused to the case, leading to a repair quote of $198 for a cracked crystal, a cost considered excessive by some owners relative to the watch's price. Lume is considered mediocre, and some would have preferred a 4Hz movement. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Hull Riviera highly for its robust build and impressive accuracy at its price point.
