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 Le Locle Gold

Owners widely praise the Tissot Le Locle Gold for its stunning PVD gold-plated finish, off-white dial with applied gold numerals and guilloche print, and classic design, considering it an incredible value for a dress watch. Accuracy varies, with some reporting excellent performance while others note deviations of up to 11 seconds per day. Some owners find the stock straps and buckle to be of poor quality, and the dressy nature limits versatility for casual wear. The lug-to-lug measurement is noted as a potential concern for smaller wrists. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Le Locle Gold highly for its elegant dial and finishing at the price.
