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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente date power reserve

Owners praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente date power reserve's classic 37.5mm sizing, white dial, blued hands, and red power reserve indicator. Reviewers highlight the thin, well-proportioned case and the admirable, thin DUW 4601 hand-wound movement with a 52-hour power reserve. Some find the dual date display unnecessary, and the blue dial's ring date can be difficult to read. Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente date power reserve for its elegant design and well-executed movement.
