Totally agree. Phoibos have such vibrant and original designs....but their clasp game is awful ..come on Phoibos ! I'm qualified to say this ...I have 14 phoibos watches...ranging from the 1sy ocean master, the quartz sunny homage, the great white, the wave master, two eagle rays, two Proteus, two voyagers, the original leviathan, the kraken , nebula and the original reef master.
That yellow is perfect! Love the black accents on the dial and how that ties in with the bezel too. Bezel knurling also looks great. Beefy case...reminds me of my angular BOLDR Odyssey 45, which is fantastic!
Fresh to see that they didn't send you the white dial that most all the other reviews I've seen already Always appreciate your take on the latest offerings out there Thanks for sharing as always my friend Be well and keep em coming 👍
Very nice. The yellow one! I really like this watch, I’m glad they are offering smaller watches, and their introductory prices are fantastic. Great knife also. I guess in a country where firearms are not really a problem, it makes sense the knife laws are strict. Looking forward to the full review.
The clasp is not up to date, sub 200 buck watches have on-the-fly clasp. And this one is especially simple, friction fit not even secured with pushers. Case profile looks disproportionate in this smaller size, but that’s just the video I guess. Looks great head on! Not the usual oyster style bracelet, looks more angular, note quite like a hexad style but close. I’d still rather have a big leviathan on a bracelet tho. Leviathan needs to be big! Nice video! On a side note, that knife is illegal to carry in the UK now, is it the single hand action and now with the new rules?
True, but that's their chosen style of watch (mostly). The couple who started Phoibus had the idea to start the company after being on holiday in Greece and being in the beautiful ocean.
It looks pretty cool! nice face etc. Personally I like rounder cases as opposed to this example, which looks more brutalist to me. Each to their own. The great part really is that watches are being made in more appropriate sizes again. I remember a few years ago watches all seemed to be huge and it was tough seeing plenty of designs I liked and would have bought but could never wear unless I wanted to look like a clown.
I agree, many different markets like different sizes. Some countries love huge watches, and other nations like smaller sizes. It's good to cater for many peoples tastes.
Kudos to you for being honest about being a shill after receiving free stuff. But $315.00 for an NH35 movement is ridonkulous. It's a pretty watch, but a pretty face isn't enough with women or with watches. They both need something more under the hood. (Or bonnet in Brit-speak.)
I don't mind the Phoibos logo but it does always put me in mind of Kang and Kodos off The Simpsons.
I thought you said Krang as in evil bad guy from ninja turtles!
a yellow diver is beautiful, nice knife too Dan 👌
Yellow really stands out! Great summer watch
So glad they did this in a smaller size. Really want an on the fly on everything now a days
I think future releases will have this from now on. Well they should!
That clasp is sort of a let down today. They should be moving on to something a step up by now.

@@garethbain7477 Have you tried to fit any replacement clasps?
IMO, a softer canary dial would be more attractive.
Nice watch ... just got my first Phoibos right after the holidays ... I went with the Eagle Ray with burnt orange fume dial.
That yellow is perfect! Love the black accents on the dial and how that ties in with the bezel too. Bezel knurling also looks great. Beefy case...reminds me of my angular BOLDR Odyssey 45, which is fantastic!
I really love this colorway! Beautiful watch!
I've been searching for a yellow dial diver for some time now, so I may pick this one up.
Yellow isn't as common really, so nice to see how good one can look.
And it's one of the better colors the light blue ain't bad either Ya think Be well Brother Keep em coming
Jus ordered another watch...The Yellow One..
Thankye from Denver North Carolina

I was cheeky and asked for yellow, as that's the channel colours!

I hope my review offers something new!

Leviathan needs to be big!
Nice video!

Yes, knife can't be carried out of the house! It's my posh box opener for indoors
Seriously good looking diver. Good price. Good size. If I need a 16th diver I'll look at this one for sure. Cheers!
Lucky number 16? Lol
What a surprise,yet another dive watch
True, but that's their chosen style of watch (mostly). The couple who started Phoibus had the idea to start the company after being on holiday in Greece and being in the beautiful ocean.
Lovely watch ...rubbish clasp. Shame. I'll wait for a V2 with a clasp that is not just an afterthought.
This 100%. It deserves something better considering the options on other competitors today.
Sharp

They have used the 9000series miyota before, maybe bring that in more often?
2nd person to post this brand today even with the listened to us lol , they an absolute copy 100% of erebus ones
Lol! I didn't realise! We must be on the same page
Nothing like Erebus, which is itself a copy.
