Budget Swiss GMT Watch From Phoibos?
Рет қаралды 7,364
10 ай бұрынHere's the review of the new Quartz Phoibos Eagle Ray GMT compressor style diver. This is the fauxtina version, but don't worry they have other no-fauxtina ones as well.
Here's a link to the watch on their website:

Just received the orange dial yesterday. Great value. The second hand hits all the marks, everything lines up correctly and the lume lasts all night when charged before bed. 1st one from Phoibos and I'm impressed for under $200

Did you wait for a sale? I put in the code and the orange is still over $200. Do these fluctuate in price if I wait?

I have the original quartz version they released a few years ago, it was the same price back then and highly sought after once it was discontinued so held it's price well, I hope being re-released does not change this. It's a really nice watch.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR The green one, not my ideal choice it looks too much like a gaming table but all the ones I really wanted sold out fast that black and gold one sold out first then the red, I already had a load of blue dial watches so went for the green. I have the automatic version in the red though again the black and gold sold out quickly. Phoibos have added a lot of new colour dials since then.

First came the Leviathan. Second came the Voyager v3. Third and latest is the new Eagle ray pastel blue. In the future would love to add a Great wall.. I love Phoibos and the ANGRY KING KRAKEN! Thank you for this review, i dont need a gmt but enjoyed the review very much.. 😊

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR thanks i just watched it and it was great as well. Phoibis isnt perfect like my Leviathan should come on a bracelet bc its top heavy so i got mine in the heaviest dlc strapcode bracelet and its perfect. No watch is perfect honestly. The issue i have with bronze is the petunia i really like the Proteus but dont wanna have to service the petunia. This and the Signum Cero are my most beloved bronze watches but i just cant get one.. I guess we all have quirks as watch collectors, the other one i have is a ghost position🙄

@@sivanstar Yeah I'm with you on the Leviathan. It definitely needs something to balance out that heavy head. I get that sanity bronze. It's definitely not for everyone. I personally only like a bit of patina on mine. I'm not one of those who likes the green look.

The watch looks stunning. Not a fan of the radium lume though, wasn't the usage of radium lume discontinued due to it's radioactive properties once it's starts decaying? Seems like an odd choice since I can't imagine it being cheaper than BG9.

It's not actually Radium. It's just mimicking the look of it, for the reason you stated.
