Gotta say, this at the first glance looked like a zelos. I’m not saying they’re copying their design by any means but just the initial look in quality over their past models seems much better.
I have only reviewed one zelos so I can’t speak to the past version. I think Zelos may be a step up in terms of overall finishing but they are also twice the price!
Beautiful watch, I've been on the fence for ages whether or not to pick up a Phoibos, this one might get me ! Good no nonsense review, thanks ... ( subbed )
I do have the Phoibos Wave Master GMT with the Orange Dial and I'm looking for a red dial to match my red Chuck Taylors 🤔 so I believe the red version will make a great addition to my collection 😎
Good value, looks nicely made. Thing is, how many dive watches with a ceramic insert bezel and on-the-fly micro-adjust clasp does a watch enthusiast need…or can justify buying? There are just SO many options atm how do you choose when another excellent release is just around the corner? It’s scandalous how many big-brand, high-price, watches still don’t feature on-the-fly adjustment. Thanks for sharing Sam 👍.
Did anybody also had a delivery problem with Phoibos? My Wave master ordered in January was never delivered despite their declaration… Now they take 2 more months to investigate the case. 😓😓😓 So beautiful watches but be aware you may never receive it 🙁🙁🙁
Am I the only one the freaked out a little bit during that shot of the watch next to the airpods and the airpods case? So many neodymium magnets! I magnetized my watch by leaving it on top of my tablet all night once.
Hey David! I can record a short of demagnetizing the watch just in case! I actually have a very cool demagnetized that does it in 100th of a second. They were honestly not close enough to magnetize the watch but I don’t want any one else concerned!
It's all good. I have one of those blue demagnetizers as well. I was early to a few meetings before I figured out my watch was running fast though! Hehe.
3 layers of anti-reflective and 15 layers of lume… check, that is definitely a micro brand!

Nice macro shots Sam.

This one is silver and you just press a button to do it. watchmakershop.com/products/elma-antimag-for-watches-parts-tools
Wow. Cool!
LoL at the dumb inspiration/back stories on all these watches. Thank you so much for just skipping over that silliness. 😅
Totally!
That’s a lot of watch for the price
