I bought this exact model using your promo code last year. I love this watch and have worn it every day since i received it.
I love this watch. I've got the black and gold one, and really, it is stunning. The build quality is beyond the line for this price point. I've got a big wrist, so the size is no issue. I love the design of the bracelet as well, very reminissent of the Omega Seamaster, I LOVE IT. One of my favourite watches.
Videos from this channel were always exceptionally good. Now that there are links to the straps - perfection 👌
Everyone keeps asking me , where did you get the straps from, so rather than answering each individual every time, I included links..😊👍
Very nice looking watch Peter with great specs. Thanks for sharing
That is one beautiful watch, from the dimensions to that gorgeous dinamic dial. I love the internal rotating bezel! Really affordable too.
I must say this is a beautiful watch from Phoibos, I think it’s an offspring from Longines Legend Diver and Omega Seamaster 300m. Excellent review as always!
Gosh, that is a stunning watch I've ever seen. It's really cool that a content creator like you makes a review of an absolute dope watch like this. You've just made yourself a new subscriber to the channel
cheers
welcome aboard 👍
Love the look of this one, especially the white dial model. 👏
The year of the super compressor style! One of the Phoibos' better offerings for sure
Great review, examples with different straps very helpful. Thank you so much!
Your welcome Alex
She's a stunner! I have one Phoibos the Voyager in grey and love the dial....
I’m floored … 🤭
What a fantastic looking watch! Phoibos is on a roll! First with their knockout “Apollo” models, now with this Eagle Ray 200m Compressor.
Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome Frank
Cheers
I received the orange dial variant, and it looks so good, I'm ready to add the white dial. This is truly an even more beautiful watch in hand! I changed out the bracelet for a female endlink bracelet.
I agree about the movement, a Miyota 9015 would have made it a more compelling package for me. I have no interest in the NH35/38, as they add thickness, and the lower beat rate is less visually appealing.
Hi Peter thanks for the contents, I was looking for a cheaper compressor watch I think u just found it for me many thanks
Love the white and the orange dials. Great review as always mate.
Cheers
Hello Pete, nice review mate. I like compressor style watches, and this Phoibos seems very nice and good value for money. I have a Phoibos Wave Master and I am overall happy with it. Thank you for another excellent review. Take care and have a wonderful week 👍🙏🙂
Thanks brother, you too, enjoy the week
Great video Peter 👍
Cheers Simon
Phoibos = Greek meaing of sun god worship ! The shiny watch!
Nice watch overall. I didn't notice the Roman numerals until you pointed them out. The NH will last and keep good time. Good value.
First time watching a Phoibos review. I like the idea of the inner bezel. Good review, thanks. Just subbed you.
welcome aboard, thanks for the sub
cheers
I almost didn’t watch the video simply because I am not at all interested in that watch. But because I love your reviews and voice (lol), I watched. And now!!! I love that watch.
Just wish the hour hand were a bit shorter to more differentiate it from the minute hand at a glance.
Looks great and not a bad price
Love this dial so much wow. Just wish it was 2mm thinner 14 is a bit much for me.
Very nice, Peter. I'll take it. :)
I ordered but withdrawed from v1 couple of months ago,this one with the pattern on the dial is really a great looking watch,much more appealing than v1.Especially orange and white.But as You said 52 lug to lug with the bracelet is too much for me,plus 14mm thickness is also much.So Im glad I dont get it earlier😉
Phoibos is a brand that I have followed from their beginning. Every time I see one of their models that I like, it is either too small or it has an NH35. Oh well, sooner or later they will produce something that I will be quick to pull out my AMEX card.
I bought the red dial version Peter & it’s a beautiful/stunning looking watch. I’ve left the bracelet on mine & find it very comfortable.
Great stuff Andrew, enjoy it mate
I agree its very comfortable 👍
Beautiful watch, absolutely nothing wrong with it👍🏼
These are great value watches, I have 2 Wave Masters and they hold their own in my collection amongst other more expensive divers.
stunning stunningg piece 😍
Revisiting this video after humming and harring about ordering this watch as 2 things didn’t quite fell into place - wasn’t sure about the colour way (I was torn between the black/gold and the red) and the bracelet (not a fan of this style of bracelet). I just realised you absolutely nailed it: White is the best colour and it needs to be on a strap and not a metal bracelet!
Went back to their website to order one only to just find out they don’t even list the Sun Ray White anymore… 😞
So far, online searches for this model pre-owned have produced no results… gutted.
Unfortunately thats happened to many of us over the years
Best of luck next time 👍
Just ordered one get it Wednesday
nice review,your rite about the roman numerals there not needed,still a good looking watch for the cash.
I think it's only the second time I watch your channel - but I've bought the watch on both occasions 😂 (Last time it was the coke Promaster). When I first saw this come out I thought I was going to pass but only until I saw your review of the white one. Stunning! I do agree about the movement but in fact I love the roman numerals. The bracelet - I guess I will have to wait and see, but a compressor style is always great combined with a tropical.
Great stuff Paul, enjoy them both 👍
Cheers
That is a beautiful watch.
Great review Pete. I've got one (red dial) and am very happy. It sits comfortably on my 7 inch wrist and I love the weight of it. Agree with your point about the Romans numerals and I pondered on that before buying but I find they are small enough not to be too noticeable. The strap is pretty comfortable but I might try out a rubber one after seeing what yours looked like!
Great stuff
It works well with rubber 👍
Lovely dial. Ditch the bracelet and black rubber/silicone strap. Nice review Peter.
Thanks Alex
Phoibos really turn out some cracking watches at very good prices. There's homages that are as we know just nice copies of more expensive watches costing more than this Phoibos. Excellent review.
Thanks Paul
That's a good looking watch! Nice review as always Peter! I also like the inner rotating bezel but i believe it takes away the possibility to change your mind or make a second count underwater.
Cheers
I wish they had the Octopus on the clasp instead of the name :(
Absolutely stunning watch, definitely got a whiff of the omega about it but reimagined in a brilliant way in my opinion!
Yeah it does have certain ‘hints’ for sure
Nice looking watch and that colour way is great. Shame there's no drilled lugs for easier strap changes as that thing is great for changing up the look. Great channel 👍
Cheers 👍
idk why but the roman bezel on the edge of the dial looks so wrong, yet so right... when i look at the close up shot it seems odd but when the camera tilts out , those roman numerals seem to be really well-placed
The Roman numerals, dial texture and ribbed bezel gives it subtle steam punk vibes IMO. Pretty interesting.
I'm undecided on the irregular ruffles on the dial.
That's a great looking watch. If I didn't have the Christopher Ward compressor in my collection I might be tempted! Nice colourways too. I am suffering the NH35 fatigue too. Thanks for the review!
I think many of us are suffering form NH fatigue
Cheers Don
@@PeterKotsa and the price difference to a 9015 will hardly break the bank. Have you had a look at any of the Axios products? Some ties to Zelos, and they get it.
I have the orange variant on the way to me. I have Phoibos Proteus and love it. You make good points for the white dial.
I have over 40 watches with many movements and NH35 is without a doubt the most accurate from all my samples.
Do you have the original proteus or aged steel? I have the blue aged steel.
That's kind of weird, because of ALL my watches I have 1 watch with an NH35A movement and it's TERRIBLY INACCURATE, the WORST of ALL my watches.
@@dosprompt5418 I have the aged steel with carbon dial. Definitely another facinating watch!
@@MADHIKER777 awesome. Yeah, I bought mine on a whim, half expecting to not like it, and there is now something about it that keeps drawing me back. It's my go to "fun" watch.
I love the dial and the Roman numerals on the railroad track don't really bother me. While the lugs extend the overall size, it wears very well and I don't notice it on my wrist at all. Another smashing review Peter.
Cheers David
I just got the apollo about a week ago (the titanium diver). It is far from perfect but it does look good. 2 of the screw pins are stripped on the bracelet, the bracelet is a hair puller and the date does not line up in the window very well. It’s lightweight, looks good and works soo idk…
Beautiful watch for sure. Like you I am not a fan of roman numerals but in this case I would still buy one of these. Looking at the Wave Master for my next purchase. Nice review as usual ..
cheers Tim
Pretty watch, but for me the appeal of divers is the thick bezel protecting the crystal from knocks and the supercompressors completely negate that by having a big vulnerable crystal.. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
I wonder if they would ship this with one of their other bracelets on it. I like the seamaster style but I already have a seamaster. The watch they sell with the jubilee looks like it has similar lugs.
Very good!
Peter, after several months I bought finally a new watch the Vostok komandirskie 24hours white dial from Germany. Very good your video as always, but I prefer the Russia than Hong King kong!!! All the best buddy.
Well done Leonidas 👍
Καλοταξειδο! (η ευχη μου για ολα τα υλικα αγαθα...)
Με'γεια αδερφε, κι αν ειναι αυτο που νομιζω σιγουρα θα πειραζεις πολυ κοσμο ρωτωντας "Τι ωρα λεει εδω ωρε?... Τι?.... Καλα δε σου μαθανε να διαβαζεις την ωρα? Χαϊβανι, ε χαϊβανι!" 😜🤣🤣
Αντε, κατεβα κατω, οι (ελαχιστες...) ελιες αρχιζουν κ καθημερινα ΟΛΟ το νησι χορευει! Μεγαλη πλακα (κουνιεται...!!!).
Κ παλι καλοταξειδο Λεο.
Niewiarygodnie nadzwyczajnie piękny zegarek. Wspaniały gust .😍
❤oh i missed this out 😢
I happen to agree, they should have went with a 9000 series miyota, higher beat rate be worth paying more. I agree on roman numerals, except on a Cartier, they just fit that brand and they know how to balance them out.
You're right. A myota 9000 2oukd have been better for the price. Love the watch though and great colour options, great vid again 👍
Cheers
If I hadn't just last night ordered the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor in Ocean Blue, this watch would have been a lovely option.
I’m sure you’re gonna love the C65 👍
@@PeterKotsa well I'm certainly enjoying the Metris you turned me on to!
@@matthewdavis8199 me too Matthew, I am wearing mine on a FKM rubber and sometimes on a tan leather..great comfortable wear 👍👍
@@PeterKotsa I've got mine on a Shinola tan strap at the moment. A rubber strap would look amazing! Definitely going to order one. I wonder if red would be too much? Anyway, thank you!
Hi mate - thanks for the review it helped me decide on a purchase of the same colorway. Please could you kindly check one thing on your unit that is slightly bothering me about mine:
Do all the date numbers always fit centrally within the 3 o’clock date window? On mine, the numbers from 24 until 11 (especially obvious on 3,4,5,6,7) all sit quite a bit too high. Whilst the 12-23 numbers seem much better aligned.
This can be seen both when quick-setting the date by 1st click crown, or when date changes naturally after midnight. Over half the numbers are misaligned towards the top of the date-window. So it’s unlikely a date-wheel alignment issue or it would affect all the numbers equally. Maybe just a strange printing on the disc for a 4-o’clock crown. Wondered if yours displays anything similar?
Great to hear from you, well done with the channel, and keep up all the great efforts. Happy New Year!
Hi Adam, yeah mine is very similar, only very slightly off. I think it could be the printing on the date wheel is ever so slightly off
Cheers
NH35 for $360 with that quality finish is ok
I have the red dial version of this watch which I am very happy with but this white dial one looks fantastic, don't think this colourway was even an option when I got mine.
It’s a new color release
Nice watch ...but i never buy because nh 35 seiko...i have legend diver bronze,marnaut seascape,and i wait for receive the baltic dual crown in 2 weeks i hope? And i wait the 22 october to order the giant stride (what beautiful style compressor too)
Nice review like always peter....bye
Thanks Jose,
'cheers
Great content ! Nice video mate !!
Cheers
At least Phoibos does appear to be developing its own dna and look, unlike many other micro-brands. Bit like NTH, Vaer etc.
They made a mistake with the numerals. 4 is shown as IIII on the watch but should be IV or 1 before 5.
good observation
Not true, llll is the classic iteration of 4 on a watch dial....
@@neildavies4403 My fellow Davies cousin, I am a qualified spirit medium and Louis XIV said; "Non". It may be classic on a watch dial but it is dumb as shit. I rest my case, in the case of Louis, it would probably be a Tourneau, maybe a tank? He wasn't specific, watches weren't a thing in his time. Time, so short...
@@neildavies4403 Interesting. Do you know why that is?
Hi Peter could possibly tell me where to buy red rubber strap thanks
That strap is from WISE : wisetimepiece.com/collections/accessories/products/jetfire-strap-fkm-rubber-20-mm?variant=39347069943842
2 or 3 mm less thickness and it
would be soo close to perfection.
That dial looks gorgeous, nice applied markers and the logo on the crowns is a nice touch too. Shame about the lug to lug I don’t think it would fit my slender wrists considering a 50ml is only just doable for me
Phoibos is The Microbrand .
I tried to find one with white dial, but no luck.
That’s a shame, these sold out ages ago
Gosh, i missed their GMT Eagle Ray, lovely watch... Still, this is also very interesting, other than the bracelet, very Omega, not a fan. But the dial, hands, slim outer bezel and the whole look of the watch is outstanding. On the red strap is awesome! Really like the scratches on the dial too. But i'll wait for their new GMT, will come out, won't it...???? 😏😄
Thanks mate, be well, enjoy.
PS With you 110% about the roman numerals, never liked'em on watches. Although here they are very discreet...
I suppose they might re release the GMT, let’s wait and see 👍
As for Roman numerals, you’re right, they are subtle enough to almost disappear here
I emailed Phoibos last year re the GMT and they said they don't plan on re-releasing the Eagle Ray GMT. 😪
@@sophiahauser3300 what a shame
@@PeterKotsa I know. There’s a reason they were all sold out, so it doesn’t make sense. Hope you are safe down south Peter!
@@sophiahauser3300 Who knows, maybe it wasn't cost effective for them...?
PS thanks for asking, hope your well too
cheers
The watch have one big mistake, the dial is not good centered with diver scale ring, part from the left side of the dial, printing part is under diver scale ring.
$360 is a good price
The sad thing: ist has no divers extention 😔
Thanks for the video and honesty that this is paid review. "As all of you know that never influences my review..."....to be honest nobody can know it.
Thats true, for those who have been here a while, they know me and my character
Thanks for sharing 🙏
Not a fan of the band, but it's a nice watch
What’s price on this?
The price is in the video, $360 less 10% discount with my code
@@PeterKotsa You should have made him watch the video if he wants to know :)
Maybe it would be better with Greek numerals 😝?
Now there’s a thought 😂
Great looking watch apart from the ugly TAG 80's style bracelet and weird Roman numerals,I'm a big fan of compressor style watches but compere this to the longene ,a clean ,elegant watch, sometimes less is more. I appreciate it's not an homage and that's a great thing but if they just cleaned up and simplified the dial this would be an absolute winner
Nothing is wrong with the movement. Nh35 a reliable seiko movement. Some reviewers are disguised watch snobs.
Very true, it's solid as a rock, i have many watches in my collection with the Seiko movement.
Personally I feel this watch would benefit from a hi beat movement for a smoother sweeping hand, thats all
Cheers
"it does look like a more expensive unit than it presents itself" what does that mean? Talk about a contradiction. Please Explain!
Ahh, someone picked up on that 😉
Well done, I was going to edit it out and re phrase it, however I let it ride.
You get the door prize 👏👍😂
Looks better on a strap. Think it would look better with the brand name on dial rather than a picture of an Octopus, those sort of logos seem a little childish to me for some reason. Nice looking piece thought.
Hiya Pete! As much as I appreciate your opinion on watches in general, I completely disagree about this watch There is too much going on: knurling of the bezel, knurling of the crowns, the bracelet style, feather texture of the dial, roman numerals in the railroad minute track....nothing fits together, nothing corresponds, they're just random design elements put together. The handset with the hour hand being way too big is just ugly and the indices at 6 and 9 are too small....just my two cents, sorry!
No apologies needed Alex, I love hearing other peoples point of view. 👍
Of all those elements the only thing that visually bothers me are those Roman numerals
Thanks for sharing bro, appreciate your opinion and feedback 👍👍
Release the Kraken. The watch would look a lot better....
Phoibos makes very pretty watches but that logo is such a turnoff for me.
It's certainly an unoriginal format, but at least your voice isn't ridiculously and cartoonishly over-processed. Better music too.
That logo spoils the whole watch.
new Orient looks better costs less! and this is the main reason! micro brands must have a micro price, otherwise there is no point in them. A watch from Aliexpress level 20-30 dollars cannot cost so much How many dishonest sellers ask for them. you have to be a complete idiot to buy this watch for such prices
Seriously, this is just a cocktail of arbitrary, superfluous, unrelated design elements and tacky decorations without any stylistic or historical connection but with a mushy 90s style case and flashy bracelet. Nothing in this design makes any sense. It hurts my eyes, I consider it an insult, I want it wiped off the planet, I love to hate it. Yuck!
They should get rid of that logo, it’s hideous.
It’s a matter of personal preference, i for one like it.
