@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I got it within few days from EU very quickly no customs to pay. My first phoibos. I did not like the design of prior models and I dont like seiko nh35 movement. But this one with 9series miyota is 👍🙋🇩🇪
This is a brilliant watch. The prices keep coming down on these Miyota powered watches. Thanks for the great review! I’m hoping Phoibos expands to non dive style watches next year.
@@adk7962 Yeah, it's really impressive isn't it? Having the 9000 series movements allows you to have slimmer cases, as well as the hi-beat rate too. That would be interesting to see. I'm not sure whether they actually would do that though.
Nice. They do make some great pieces. I really love the Wave Master GMT: ua-cam.com/video/_yKr7t_6HCA/v-deo.html and also the Proteus Limited Edition Bronze: ua-cam.com/video/C23h4L-z7w0/v-deo.html
Good bracelet, nickname is nah, very nice in the light. Bezel alingment was off in my watch, poor CQ and CS, after 5 messages I gave up. Something to consider..
These watches that bridge the gap between a GADA/sports watch and a proper dive watch seem increasingly popular and I can see why. The Miyota 9 series movements are ideal, because they reduce the thickness that is the weak point of most divers. My only criticism of this is the bezel is a little thick, if it sloped down to the outer edge it would make the watch even more cuff friendly.
My only watch with a bracelet. Aventurine dial, no date. +16s per day which for me is a bit on the high value, not sure if it is high enough to go to some watchmaker to regulate it.
Mine was running about. +20spd. It took me a couple of minutes to regulate it, but agree it should have been better on arrival. That said, it was within spec
Faux dive style watches really because they don't meet the ISO certification for diving. Eventually we'll have to hit peak dive style watch in the community. I love a dive style as much as the next guy but it's getting a bit ridiculous now. There is only so much supply the market can reasonably expect to absorb, right? 🤷♂️
The ISO rating means very little. The SKX was ISO certified, but had a crap bracelet, a crap bezel, mineral crystal, and an awful movement. The Delphinus is a dress diver that is beautifully made and well spec'd
@@watchalot919 I'd be very surprised to see anyone diving with such a watch. Nowadays everyone has a diving computer to keep the long term saturation calculated. Such computers are significantly bigger = easier to read under water and more bulky = not suitable to wear outside of diving day.

I got the amazonite date - i am very happy - very comfortable
Nice. Some of the more exotic ones seemed to sell out pretty quickly.

@guidine7 That is good. You definitely picked a good one 👌
Definitely their best to date , looks a lot more refined & some nice colourways as well .
@@tedblack2415 It's very sleek isn't it? Which option is your favourite?
I love the bracelet. 👍🏻
@@nedflanders3769 If it very good. Especially with the bonuses of the on the fly clasp and quick release too.

I have the aventurine option and it's superb. I believe this and the Narwhal 38 are their best watches to date

It's just nice having a watch that you can wear for any occasion isn't it?

I'm sure this is just as capable as many other brands such as Seiko. It's just that they didn't pay to get the certification though.
@HonestWatchReviewsHWR But do you think anyone will actually dive with it?
@@watchalot919 Do many people actually dive with their dive watches? The most I do is some swimming.

Phoibos , oh yes .
I take it you're a fan of this one then? Do you have many pieces from them yourself?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Two wave masters , one with the waves , the other without .
I find them really good quality .
And i love the logo .
@@gazzertrn Nice. Which colours did you go for? I love the purple one.
