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.

Tissot Heritage 1973

The Tissot Heritage 1973 is widely praised for its faithful vintage aesthetic, featuring a tonneau or cushion case with contrasting finishes and a panda dial with orange accents. Owners and reviewers alike appreciate its compelling remake of a 1970s racing watch, with some specifically noting the attractive dial and case curves. The watch is powered by the ETA 7753 automatic chronograph movement, offering a 60-hour power reserve. However, some find its 43mm or 44mm diameter to be large-wearing, and one owner reported difficulty setting the date and a chronograph reset that is consistently one second off. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner noting 10-15 seconds per day. The radial brushed case finish, while visually appealing, is noted as being prone to scratches that are difficult to polish out. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot Heritage 1973 highly for its tempting value and credible vintage racing style.
