PHOIBOS Automatic Men's 300m Diver Watch with Wave Patterned Dial and Rubber Strap Wave Master PY010R

Wanted to test the Phoibos waters and needed a less expensive watch for travel. The watch arrived packaged very nicely, all logos are clean and crisp, and the case machining is excellent. The uni-directional coin-edge bezel works perfectly and aligned just right with all indices. The inner chapter ring numbers are a bit hard to read unless in direct light (could be a little brighter orange and the numbers larger) but not bad. Lume is great and the watchis surrently keeping approximate +5 to +6 spd. Overall it looks and functions great and I'm very happy with the watch. I may have to look at other models as well!

It's a watch I enjoy looking at to check the time. Has a really good lume to see at night. Nice and tight rotating bezel. An attractive watch for sure. Couple things to know. It keeps good time. However it is running a little fast. In about 1x month watch runs fast by about 5 minutes. This seems to be the norm for an automatic watch. For me it's not a problem. The watch strap may be a little tight at first. But over time it stretches a bit and is fine for me. I also periodically gently stretched the strap by hand. Careful to support the pins that hold the strap to not damage pins during the stretching process. That's if you have big wrists like me and need to stretch the straps a bit. Over all quite happy with my purchase. Have had it for close to 3x month's.

Excelente calidad de construcción, corona enroscable. El lumen es fantástico en azul, bisel e indicadores de hora

Here's my immediate analysis of this Phoibos watch: 1. It seems to wear larger than the 42mm case size would suggest, which I like. 2. The dial is beautiful and fits my personal taste. It is three-piece abalone, with the pieces placed together vertically. 3. The hand winding action is smooth, the crown threads are smooth and accurate, and the case back is attractive. The watch looks well made and well machined. The crown size is near perfect for this watch. 4. I really like the coin edge on the bezel. In most photos, the bezel color seems like it is a flat black. My bezel is glossy black. I would have preferred the flat. 5. The strap is very comfortable and seems well made. The buckle is nice. 6. I have three dozen watches, most of them autos that sit for weeks while I wear others, so I could not care less about accuracy. 7. My collection includes $3500 Longines to $100 Citizens. I would rate the build quality of this watch, in as much as I can tell, to be as good as my Henry Archer, slightly better than my Seikos, not as refined as my higher priced Longines and Oris, and on par with my best Citizens (Signature series). For less than $300, this watch is a true bargain if it functions reliably over time. We'll see.

This is a very nice watch. I really like the design. The watch is attractive without having too much bling. It has a subtle waved texture to the face. The blue luminous material stands out. I haven’t found any manufacturing defects. The date and the rotating bezel line up perfectly. Everything fits and works as it should. My watch runs about four seconds slow a day. My only negative is the short length of the strap. On my 7 inch wrist, I’m on the third last hole. It’s ok for me, but it may be a problem for larger wrists. I think this is a great watch, especially at the price. It is a beautiful and unique design. The materials are top quality. I would go so far as to say it’s perfect! I’m very happy with my purchase. I highly recommend this watch.
