Big shout out to Ashley and to Phoibos. Four watches in one video! I'm not a massive fan of the Apollo, but it is still great value for a unique titanium diver. I'd be looking at the Nebula and the Eagle Ray as the pick of the bunch. Cheers, Jody
16:47 Take the octopus off the dial, and tell me these look like they all come from the same brand! These could easily be 4 watches from 4 different microbrands.
I haven't quite found a Phoibos that I've fallen in love with yet (the dual crown Eagle Ray in red has come the closest) I guess with the sheer diversity of design they're bound to hit the spot at some point?! 😂
Would love to see just a little more brand identity/consistency with design, though.
I thoroughly enjoy the octopus. Classy and unique logo.
Occy logo should be applied on the clasp. It is majestic and nice, a kraken.
The Kraken rocks!
A new handset would transform the titanium . The octopus is one of the few micro brand logos that I like.
I love the four-in-one review format. Great way to get a quick snapshot of four related watches in one go.
Not sure about that Spaceman character, I’d rather they just stick with the Octopus.
I own a Phoibos, I love it, but a lot of their models feel like they’re a bit 120%
120%?
@@johnfrei9057 I take it to mean they look like they've thrown everything but the kitchen sink at their designs. Not exactly minimalist.
@@PhineasPhlob Or maybe 20% more pricey than they should be...
20 percent too big in size ?

The tradition of Festivus starts with the airing of grievances, I got a lot of problems with you people & today you're gonna hear about them. 🤪
I love King Occy. Its a unique logo that stands out from the rest of the pack. I prefer the clasp with it over the lettering.
I like the Eagle Ray a lot, its my favorite compressor this side of the Legend Diver, but the Roman numerals are a buzzkill. The lines on the dial reminds me of Anime when they introduce a new character.
I have the Proteus carbon dial based on the review you did on it and it's my favourite watch. Looking to get more in the future, the leather straps are top tier aswell
I'm with you on the Eagle Ray being re-released in bronze. Could they please re issue the py007 as well please.
Nebula is lovely but I would prefer an oyster bracelet.
I actually really like the Apollo! The light gray dial makes up for the busyness of the indices in my opinion. Also the Nebula has a very interesting look to it as well!
I'm a Phoibos phan. I currently own only one, but it very well could be my favorite watch (of about 40). That burnt orange feathered dial is stunning and, while not an orange dial fan, I think I'll have to add that spice to my collection. My hat always goes off to Phoibos for their creativity and not mimicking submarininers ad infinitum. I like all the offerings here, and think the Apollo is a fun watch and would admire it, on someone else's wrist, LOL.
BTW, I love the octopus!
Definitely Pro Octopus! Phoibos is one of my favorite brands, I'm happy to own the 1st gen silver dial Voyager, and now the blue dial Apollo! I appreciate their diversity and willingness to shake up their designs
Yes! Cracking video, getting ready for my "work Friday". Phoibos are catching my eye for sure. Helloooooo from Reynoldsburg, Ohiooooo! 😃
The version of the Apollo with black dial and old radium lume looks absolutely amazing.
The dials on the Eagle Ray and Voyager are the highlights with these 4 watches - thanks 👍
These are ALL gorgeous, I will definitely be looking at this brand going forward. I love the Apollo but the compressor is AMAZING!
The sandwich-one is really nice but reminds me a lot on the direnzo-watch you reviewed a while ago, especially with the colour...but still a stunner!
oh I love ths burnt orange! Soooo good!
One of my favorite brands. I’ve got a Wavemaster in abalone and a Voyager in grey, both off Jody’s recommendations, both taking advantage of the jomw10 code. An Eagle Ray very well may have to be next.
I just ordered the Wavemaster in black for $299. I'm surprised they were still in stock.
Absolutely love that Apollo with the Eagle Ray 2nd place
I have 3, they are phun! I also like the mildly eeevel looking octopus. I get comments asking if I am part of Spectre, to which I of course can't say. Thanks for the great reviews!
Havent found a phoibos I liked yet but the Apollo is quite interesting, I just wish the minute hand was solid and not skeletonised.
As for the Oky yeah it needs to be on the clasp too.
Congratulations on the new record!!! Great video as always Jody!!!
I'm enjoying learning about so many micro-brands from your channel, Phoibus is new to me but very good looking watches. I have been a Seiko man for years but now I am branching out, thanks to you. Oh, and I love the Occy!
I have a eagle ray gmt and I love it. I'm on my second as I lost the first one, grrrr. I like the orange Eagle ray, but wish it was a gmt too. Get those octopus 🐙 everywhere!
Nice compact review with the 4in1, thank you! I believe it is commendable how micros are putting more and more attention to details. One remark if I may, perhaps it would have done a bit of a justice to mention the 6 colorways of the Apollo, whereas I think the one you reviewed is indeed quite toyish, though the light blue variant in my opinion is just strikingly fresh and cool. Always appreciate what you bring in your channel Jodi!
The Phoibos Eagle Ray orange watch is perfect for Samhain. The bright orange dial and black dive ring makes it great. I would put a brown leather strap to give it the fall colors. I'm talking about the northern hemisphere; it's getting spring in Down Under.
I can understand having an octopus on the clasp of a dive watch but makes more sense to have the name phoibos on the clasp of a sports and a space watch although there could well be an alien species that looks like an octopus I guess.
I do like that Apollo as something a little different and that spaceman on the case back looks awesome, I like the hands on it and that space grey dial. The rockets are a bit of fun, somebody just has to take the thing into space!!!
Love King Octopus!
Have had 5 Phoibi, Voyager’s thickness being the only disappointment.
Eagle Ray bronze, and compressor are at the top of the list, though the SS black/grey Apollo is really growing on me - so original, comfortable, and easy to read!
One of my new favourite brands. I snagged a voyager at a good price and it has really impressed me.
Is Nebula model availble for Europe? Or it will be? I am interested in getting one.
Hi Jody, Love the Eagleray think the Voyager looks like a upgrade Vostock.
Hi buddy - great video - I’m after a quartz 👹 in the Phoibos range what would you suggest? I like the bigger the better divers - sick of winding everything lol - love all of their range but get confused as so many
The compressor is gorgeous. All pretty good looking watches though.
Jodi thank you. Your descriptions always stick in my mind.
I would love to see an applied and limed octopus!
Great video Jody, I’m definitely a fan of the octopus
Many thanks for showing👍
Eagle Ray and the Nebula are the picks Mr M. The voyager should have a thinner case and miyota movement to follow through with the premise of the watch. Think the voyager is the biggest missed opportunity. The Apollo is a watch that takes a theme and is over designed around that theme. All solid watches but only appealing enough to people that like the mix of features offered. At least they are not homage watches and Phoibos are a company trying to design their own brand language. Nice Reviews Mr M!
Two quick comments: #1 love the Occy - put him everywhere (dial, caseback, clasp, & crown - he'd be Great on the crown with a little lume - like Zelos does, : #2 the Miyota 9000 series is SOOO much better than the NH35 - it's thinner, it's a true hi beat movement, and in the time Grapher results it's generally more accurate - note to ALL microbrands, ditch the NH35, use the similarly priced Miyota 9000 series, and force Seiko to give us something better.
Love those first two watches. Very handsome time pieces.
The octopus on the clasp looks better than I expected. I'm someone who doesn't need a bunch of octopus symbols on my watch, but the clasp looks great with it. For the old style, my guess is maybe they have leftover stock? They probably buy common parts like some clasps, spring bars, movements, in bulk.
I’ve got the Eagle Ray compressor in red & love it Jody! Only wore it last weekend!😎 I didn’t care much for the orange one until you had it on wrist!👍🏼 And the Stratton dial you spoke of, 8 have in blue. Stunning!🤤
Gosh, The Apollo is Unique!! I dig that dial and titanium.
Just checking, Phoibos’ website says that Nebula is 150m WR, I think you mention 200m at 6:53. Thanks for the video!
Love this CHANNEL! Thank you Jody sincerely. Did I hear you say that the Eagle Ray Compressor has a fixed outer and a rotating inner bezel!?!? That is the first time I have ever heard of this and wanted to see it demonstrated. I don't know how I feel about that and it left me wanting to see more. I had to go and look this up - it is real. I think that's a pretty cool feature for a watch of this price range. Probably going to get one now. I was skeptical about this micro brand, but your review has helped me make up my mind. I like the Octopus.
Only recently started researching phoibos these are really nice looking watches, going to put an abalone on my wish list for santa
So I picked up the Apollo, thanks for the discount, and I do love it, but I have to agree. Way too much going on, super comfortable, but busy looking.
Love those eagle ray. Can't wait to see one in the steel
Really like the orange eagle Ray, but it’s not very often I say this but I think it look a lot better on a tropic or black or orange rubber strap rather than the bracelet
I have the Eagle Ray in blue and a Wave Master in blue as well. I love the orange Eagle Ray but the others really don't do much for me.
That orange Sunburst one is really nice. I have to wait until January to order my next one because my family has an every six months rule with me for watch buying LOL
Nice selection , would love a titanium Eagle Ray. cheers Jody. Stay safe all.
The K-man making a shirt appearance, very nice! Don't remember him wearing any noticeable watches. Jerry on the other hand wore his trademark Breitling for years on the show.
Thank you for the time you put in 😳 good information and am interested
Got Phoibos. Love it. Great watch. Titanium one looks good too. Not too contemporary, casio-oakish plasticky looking crp
I've got the eagle Ray compressor and it really is an excellent watch. I wish it had a smoother and thinner high beat movement, but it's very functional with the nh35. The bracelet is actually impressively nice. My only moan/niggle (and it's not a big deal, really - one could make a case for it) is the screw-down upper crown for the inner bezel. I really do get the argument in favor of it, but I prefer the old school non-screw down crown. Still, you cannot beat this microbrand for sheer value.
Eagle Ray compressor really grows on you as time goes by…was going to sell, but changed my mind - vey comfy for such a substantial piece!
No lume shot on the Nebula!!!!! Tisk tisk. 4 reviews something had to be forgotten LoL. Keep up the good work!
Yes not cool he must slipping 😑, ruined the whole video for me 😋
“I’ll show you that in just a second”… I’m genuinely curious to see what the white lume with the faux-tina dots looks like 😄
I really kick myself for missing out on the Eagle Ray Quartz GMT in Black Gilt. I'd get one of the Voyagers for that awesome dial...but it's a bit too chunky for my taste. I'm really thinking about the Nebula in green... Great offerings!
Excellent review mate, can’t beat a phoibos for value
The orange sunburst reminds me of my tobacco sunburst Stratocaster...and that is a good thing.
Wish they would re-release the Eagle Ray GMT!
Another great review Jody and some real contenders in there
That blue dial is shouting out my name!!
The Apollo has so much going on. Wow, that's a verrrrry busy dial. Ugly is a simple, but very apt adjective.
The green Nebula is gorgeous, and super legible. Great review, of contrasting design concepts, and I'm definitely pro the octopus. It's a recognised Phoibos trademark, and is an attractive addition that doesn't need explanation - unlike the Phoibos name.
Phoibos was the God of Light and Sun, it was the Ancient Greek name for the Roman God Appolo. It means, 'Bright Shining One' Appolo/Phiobos was considered to be the most beautiful of the ancient's Gods.
Green and orange are damn good value. Great show. 🏴👍
Did I miss the lume shot on the green one?
Bought my Eagle Ray Compressor (red dial) the minute Phoibos released them based on your review and have no regrets. Perfect size on my wrist and love the weight of it. Think the red dial is the best colour, though that new burnt orange is pretty spectacular!
Great wearing watch 👌
Love all of the dials
Ive got a Phoibos Voyager in grey and can attest to the quality off Phoibos watches! These look great...
King ockey on the clasp looks great to me
Good to see ya mate! Such wordplay in the intro(!) 😆 Which watch do you guys reckon is the better choice: the “dresskx” or the new Seiko 5 field watches? 🤔
Actually, I'm kinda diggin' the Apollo. It's different and not a copycat watch. I love Octy as it's so much better than other "logo only" dials (ahem, San Martin). The bracelets that Phoibo uses are not that attractive and look cheap, imho. The regular oyster-style floats my boat much more than these and I would seriously consider a couple of these models if they had one.
Oh the space one is silly fun! Don't be hatin! Yes. . I got one. It's comfy, a bit big but the Titanium makes it not noticeable. The Voyager 2 is also nice -- I am wearing it as I type this. . but in green. KEEP THE OCTI!
I am a phoibos sympathizer I even love the sentinel hated by many. I further would even consider the Great Wall if one of those were available at a reasonable price. I pretty much like most of their watches they're one of the microbrands I just say okay wrap it up I'll take it
looks like the red dial goes well with my Soul Red Mazda CX5
New Phobos models.😎
I may have to pick up the sports model.
I need to get a few more non-diver watches.👍
If they made the voyager a bit smaller, it would be very nice. Since the hands would extend to the markings AND have the LOOKS!
I like all 4 but the Nebula is me fave, or phave. Only wish it had the colour-matched date wheel of the Apollo, which is a striking piece of work, evoking mid-century watch design a la Vostok - that you don't like it constitutes, to my mind, a Phoibus phoible. But I phorgive you because you live in Sydney and are therephore upside-down.
Hey Jody, I ordered the burnt orange 🍊, because you said you liked it , hope I like it as well , wish me luck
Thanks for the video, great reviews as always. 👍
I have an Eagle Ray in red, which I hardly ever take off. I am a big fan of the octopus and wish they had put it on the crown too :) My wife has a Sea Nymph model which is equally well spec’d for the price and has octopuses all over it.
It’s a shame that us in the EU, who previously bought from their Luton office, now have to pay a large import tax. Thanks, brexit!
Cheers, Jodie.
The compressor is by far the best looking of these with the added bonus that the bezel style is still a bit unusual. The orange dial subdues the appearance of the octopus which is a good thing. Not a fan of the octopus, ok ln the back where it can't be seen but is a hurdle I can't get over for this brand's otherwise appealing watches (not the "Disney" space watch)
Great work, thanks again.
Pro Occi , barbecued with a wedge of lemon .. thanks for the review
Love me a bit of Phoibos!
Love the Spectre/Hydra logo vibe!
I am in the pro occy camp, for sure.
Walk in front of MI6 building, go, go 😄😄😄😄
Right in time for the new Bond
@@TheBritishBoy1 imagine the new Bond with a phoibos 😄😄😄
@@felixangellopezalonso3993 we would need an indie style Bond in order to rock a microbrand. No more Aston either 🤣
I love that Eagle Rau but if I bought it I would have to buy a Fender Sunburst Stratocaster to go with it...... and I don't play guitar
I love it.
It’s not exceptional value for the money considering the movement. Go with the miyota9015 in this to blow people away in that regard.
It does seem like a great watch though. It’s unique.
The dial looks exactly like Zelos.
I own a mother of pearl model. I'd eyed the last release and almost bought another but it seemed so close to a Victorinox I had already that I passed. The first one in this video is tempting...
You need to do a lum-tec watch, especially with lume wars.
I want to see _San Martin_ vs _Phoibos_
4 great looking watches
Jody! Sorry for the unrelated topic...November 2021 Seiko releases the Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph SSC813. Please review it ASAP! It’s got this white Daytona / UG Nina Rindt thing going on. VERY sharp. Cheers!
I really like this brand and out of the 4 I think I would pick the Apollo actually. It’s not that quirky but it’s different enough, plus I really like titanium watches and still really like my Hamtun.
King Jocky loved the Occy!
180!!!
Dammit got there second first view thou 😁👍, the grey model looks great shame they are Ti prefer stainless.
I own two Phoibos…. And both are great !
In recent months I bought a Voyager and a Nebula. Both watches are far better than their price indicates
love the octo!!
The Voyager with a PT5000 and a couple of mills shaven of the thickness would be an instant cop.
That Apollo is nicely different. Shades of Great Wall in there, with Space Invaders jour markers. Do like that, oddly - probably because it's so odd
That Nebula looks great I must say.
I guess Phoibos knows their market better than I, however I don't understand why the Proteus is not getting further production runs. The Apollo looks like it's a replacement for the Proteus and I can't say I prefer it (the Apollo is just too busy). Proteus was top of my list for purchase, but as I was not able to source a Steel one in the last several months I picked up a San Martin instead.
