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
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.. 😊
Nice. They do make some great pieces don't they? Thanks for watching the review. If you haven't seen it already, perhaps this one might interest you too. ruclips.net/video/C23h4L-z7w0/видео.html
@@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.
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.
Great looking watch and with that discount, it’s an insane price. Unfortunately and fortunately my money in the next couple weeks is set aside for a different watch. Thanks for the great review!
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.
LOVE this watch! But.... (and here is the big question), do i get this for 192 euros (+tax. etc), or do i get the AddiesDive Tudor homage for 50+ euros (all in!) at the next sale??? This is surely better looking, the price difference though is a lot. Thanks for the info James, and the vid. Got to ask my pocket on this.... LOL
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR My wallet is like an onion lately. Every time I open it, I cry...😂 Cheers James, both my pockets salute you... like a white handkerchief on goodbye!

I'm glad you're happy with yours. They're great value aren't they?
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 to admit, this one has really been tempting me! I'm still not sure which color I'd go for yet. They all look really good!
Yeah that's the difficult bit.
I remeber wanting one of these way back when Jody reviewed a red dial one a few years back... but wow the white dial one pops. Trigger pulled!
There's lots of great new colours isn't there?
First came the Leviathan.
Second came the Voyager v3.
Third and latest is the new Eagle ray pastel blue.

@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR maybe its a bit of an ocd for me lmao
@@sivanstar I get that. I have mild OCD myself. They're quite easy to bring back to like new, using a bit of lemon juice though.

Thank you for another professional review! A really nice watch, I like the black and gold color you have chosen. Looking forward to your next one 👍👍👍
Thank you very much. Black and gold is always a good combination isn't it?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR The best, always 🤗
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Even my 1200 ccm Suzuki Bandit is black and gold 😎
@@holgermuller3597 Nice 👌

It really is. What are you getting instead then? Thanks for watching.
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Jody’s release on the 7th.
@@adk7962 Ah ok. That should be interesting once we actually get to see pictures of it.
stunning watch, and the tropic strap goes perfect!
Not bad at all is it?
Yes, definitely interested in these. Thanks for the video!
Cheers. I'm glad you liked it. Are you interested in this one in particular, or a different colour?
@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Definitely the black and gold. Second choice would be the white. 🙂

It's not actually Radium. It's just mimicking the look of it, for the reason you stated.
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Ohh, my bad. I misunderstood.
@@hazey5736 No need to apologise. I obviously didn't make it very clear.
Nice watch, nothing to dislike and a reasonable price
Are you tempted then mate?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR it’s on my list
@@paulhiggins8774 You better be quick though, as the sale price ends on the 10th of October.
Simply gorgeous! Nuff said.
Cheers!
It really is. Are you tempted to get one then?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWREven though I like this one. I'd probably go automatic. I don't have a Phobios so I need to get one.
@@angelherrera6820 So the automatic Eagle Ray then?
Ordered a white one, looking forward to its arrival!
I'm sure you'll love it. Did you order it through my link by any chance?
Hmm, don’t recall, I remember I used the EB code
@@stever8574 Yeah the discount code. Did you get to the site through the link in the description of this video?
Received my white dial, and totally impressed. The ticks also hits the second markers. Really can't beat this watch for the price.
@@CaptainWillyandTheWonderMonkey That's good to hear. I'm glad you're happy with yours too.
This is my 2nd Phoibos, great watch but my 2nd doesn't hit marker on 12, little bit dissapointed with that.
Do you mean the second hand doesn't hit the 12 marker, or that the 12 marker is misaligned?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR yea, second hand doesn't hit on 12, markers are correct.
@@mrki412 Does it hit the markers alright then?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR no, it looks like second hand is not aligned, it is little bit on left side.
LOVE this watch! But.... (and here is the big question), do i get this for 192 euros (+tax. etc), or do i get the AddiesDive Tudor homage for 50+ euros (all in!) at the next sale??? This is surely better looking, the price difference though is a lot.
Thanks for the info James, and the vid. Got to ask my pocket on this.... LOL
Maybe you could ask your other pocket to see if they can help out, and then get both 😉
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR My wallet is like an onion lately. Every time I open it, I cry...😂 Cheers James, both my pockets salute you... like a white handkerchief on goodbye!
@@stavros_katsopr So not an onion, because you have many layers of notes then? 😉
Is this a quartz or automatic please?
It's a Swiss quartz movement. I did put that on the thumbnail. Also I talk about it in more detail in the video.
Hey Phoibos, how about a 38mm case 22mm lug version of this?
It's just a bit too big.
Not bad, not bad at all! 😌
Quite a looker isn't it? Which dial option would you be going for then?
Good review but no quartz for me
Thanks. Not even a Swiss one? 😉
