That's a Beautiful watch!
I recently ordered mine.
Can't wait until I get it.
So this wavemaster was my first automatic watch. I chose to go without the date complication, and I'm really glad I did because its the absolute easiest watch to set! I have about 20 automatics now and this one is still on my wrist once a week. I think your complaints are all valid about the caseback and bracelet being a bit abrasive. And I would also really prefer the bracelet to taper. I put it on alot of different silicone straps and I like that option but I ended up putting it back on the engineer even though I think there is room for improvement there. Great review, spot on with my experience too.
Thank you!
I finally have one. They are stunning and I really like it.
great to hear!
Re putting it on.
Try this. Rotate it so the watch body is inside your wrist. Any watch that's sized a little neat can be put on this way. Then turn it back and apply the clasp.
Nice, I'll give it a shot!
I just bought the green dial date version. Initial impressions are it’s a wonderful watch. Such great details throughout, and in the light and sun, that wave dial is amazing. It is a heavy watch, but conversely from pretty much every review I’ve watched, I think the weight gives it a really solid feel, that it’s well put together and will certainly take some abuse without any detrimental effects.
I even like the wave design on the Phoibos better than the Omega Seamaster. Good point about the weight, it definitely feels solid!
Beautiful watch.
I took a little while to add my review I’ve been really loving this watch I have a lot of watches in my rotation but it’s been on my wrist quite a bit . I immediately changed the Rubber strap which came with it from Amazon I put on an Oyster and it beautiful eventually I’ll add an engineer great value for the money I paid $299 the price must have jumped up since your original review still a great watch for even that price
Great review, thank you for making this! I just ordered one. Very thorough overview. The video with your wife was hilarious, btw. Us watch fans forget how little others care, lol. She was so kind. Subbed!
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
I just bumped into this channel. Excellent review and subscribed. My dilemma is that I'm torn between the black dial and the blue one.
Thanks for watching! Welcome to the channel.
@@the1010watchclub thanks man!
Hello I'm new to your channel and I really enjoyed the comprehensive review so subbed 👍
I love everything about this watch except that bracelet,I would love to see it on that strapsco,as you said it would look elegant and I agree 💯 I'm between a zelos swordfish and this phobias and you make a great case for this piece! Thanks for the great review
Nice video. I think I'm pulling the trigger on this!
Let me know how you like it!
I love mine ♥️
Nice review! I'm a fan of the channel, keep it up.
Thanks for the support!
Mine got stolen during a break in a few months ago, i loved that watch :(
Sorry to hear, that is the worst
Just subscribed great review, looking to buy this watch on rubber strap👍🙏
Try the Phoibos Eagle Ray 300m diver, tapering braclet, very nice watch..
Good review, subbed 👍🇬🇧
Thank you and welcome to the channel!
Hi, how did you resize the bracelet? Thanks! Great review by the way!
@@pilipinaskongmahal8499 it has screw pins so very simple to take out the necessary links to make it fit your wrist.
@@peakrider4886 already adjusted. Thanks.
I wish they made a midsize! I'm thinking it may be too big for a 6ish inch wrist. SKX007 barely fits hehe.
It's technically smaller than the SKX at 42mm but it is so thick and chunky that it feels way bigger. I have a 7 1/4" wrist and the Phoibos weighs 208g
Just bought this got a massive Amazon discount now I don't have to bother at the alixxxxss sale tomorrow 😜 got this exact watch
Great review. You think this watch would hold up to actual scuba diving? I’m always skeptical of water resistance ratings.
Thank you! Yes you should be safe wearing it scuba diving. It's not ISO certified, but with sapphire, a screw down crown, and a screw down case back, it's pretty watertight. Especially if you're only recreationally diving.
@@the1010watchclub awesome thanks man. You do a great job. I always enjoy your reviews.
@@redbarchetta4 really appreciate the support!
Hi, just a question, how did you resize the bracelet? Thanks! Great review by the way!
I resized the bracelet with a very small screwdriver, they should be screw pins
You can get a kit off Amazon for very cheap, comes with all the tools and plenty of tutorials on UA-cam on how to do it
@@bifflee3603 I just ordered the kit from Amazon. Thanks!
@@pilipinaskongmahal8499 I do all my bracelets myself - very satisfying doing it yourself
Ditch the bracelet and get it on some Natos. I did and never looked back. Awesome watch for the money.
Nice I'll give it a shot. Plus the NATO would cover up that rough-feeling casebackn as an added bonus
i've had my eye on that watch for quite sometime, and i love how it looks. very nice review on the watch... i think i'll buy it in a coupkle of weeks more.
but tell me this, i dont see an octopus on the logo i see a kind of balinese mask... with eyes and teeth... can you see it or is it just me?
if the eyes of the mask are where the middle tentacles are, then yes I can and now I can't unsee it ! Let me know how you like the watch if you end up getting it, it's thick and heavy but I'm still enjoying it a lot 🐙
Do the bezels not line up on these Wave Masters?
Have you looked at the wise AD8 range, great topography, i have the blue fade gorgeous, iht t am waiting for my Wave master to arrive, bought it yesterday, gr
No but thanks for the suggestion!
Wish it had i slight dome like my Airman
Well I like the full width bracelet. Tapered are so pedestrian. Synergy is about the sum of the whole being greater than the parts. Synergistically speaking I think they nailed it. Big watch, big band no trying to hide the fact. I think it works except the 5 link style of it isn't to my taste. It wants one of those Strapcode retro bracelets on it.
Fair enough!
Love this watch, I enjoy to look at the time, I've bought it in blue color, altho yours look better.
Funny to hear you say that because ever since I got this model I've wondered if I should have bought the blue one!
@@the1010watchclub Blue was first love, maybe I want a change now, but I must admit on sun it is gorgeous.
To I saw dust on dial in macro shot ?
I think I see what you mean, in the wave design? I just tried looking again and nothing's visible to the naked eye. Here's to hoping it's a trick of the light or I just can't keep my crystals clean. Otherwise we'll call them wave creatures.
I see it too, at 5:15
Is it me or on the macro shots there’s a few imperfections and, worst, some dust on the dial?
Yes I believe you’re right
Apart from the date any difference on the wavemaster that doesn’t have the date.
Everything should be the same except the no date version uses an NH38 movement and the date version uses an NH35
Which black version is this? The 09 or 10.
PY010C, the date model
I have a 7 1/4 wrist but I’m 5’8”.
42 mm is not big and chunky lol
I do everything I can to avoid buying anything made in China. There are plenty of better watches made in Japan, Germany and Switzerland to buy. No, made in China, products for me.
You're just racist.
Not good enough.
Can't stand the octopus. Makes it look like a kids watch. One of the main reasons I don't own any Phoibos.
"Feebus" sound dumb. Just sayin.
😂
