Phoibos Eagle Ray GMT Swiss Quartz GMT
Thank you very much to Phoibos for allowing me to own, wear enjoy and share my thoughts about this watch.
To check out their watches have a look at their website:
phoiboswatch.com
Thank you so much for WATCHing my video and I hope that you check out all my other content.
I release 3 videos per week, all watch related, including reviews, first impressions and general watch related topics.
I try very hard to diversify my content. Featuring known watch brands, microbrands, Aliexpress. Some I have purchased new, others second hand.
The majority of the watches that I feature I have purchased. I buy them to enjoy, wear, have in my collection. I then also feature them on this channel.
Being a smaller channel it is challenging to cover the cost of all the watches that I buy and partly because of this I have become an affiliate member with a number of companies including Aliexpress and Ashford.com.
If you are looking for watches from well known brands then it is worth checking out:
www.ashford.com
If you are looking for great strap options then definitely check out:
vario.sg/
and
artemstraps.com/collections/s...
As an affiliate member I may leave affiliate links in the descriptions of videos. These links will direct you to the watches that I’ve experienced, reviewed and would certainly recommend. If you choose to use those links I will earn a very small commission.
Thank you very much if you choose to use those links.

![Are PHOIBOS Watches as Good as They Say? [REVIEW] Eagle Ray GMT PX023E](/img/d.gif)

One of the favourites in my collection. I used to feel like you in respect to quartz watches, but I have some cracking good battery driven watches, and the fact that I can pick them up and wear them without the hassle of setting time & date outweighs the negative feeling of quartz I used to have. Thanks for the video James always good to get a bit of positive reinforcement on my purchases. Have a great year mate 👍🏼

Thank you. I think this one is amazing. I am trying to remain open to quartz.
Love the logo and can't fault phoibos in general....🏴⌚🏴⌚

I love the designs of Phoibos. Very bold choices.
A 50 buck Casio Duro is a budget quartz dive watch in my book, but it's all relative I suppose. A premium for it being a compressor diver GMT with a fancy dial perhaps? Not for me at any price if I'm being honest. Nice shirt by the way.

Hahahaha thank you. Was a recent purchase. This brand is not for everyone. I’m just happy that they exist to give us these options.
It has been great to get this one into my collection
Maybe you'll get over your feelings about quartz watches this year. My Casio Oceanus T200 is a pleasure to wear and always perfect time. Likewise G-shock solar radio but you don't get the benefit of radio time down under.

I really hope that I do. I wish I did not have that feeling about them. I’m definitely not writing them off I’ll always come back to them to see if my thoughts have changed.
A good fair review of a nice watch 👍

Thank you
I get where your coming from on quartz watches, and i agree the bland quartz movements hold little interest, However, when you get into the hybrids such as battery/solar or into the meca quartz and the quartz watches that move the senconds hand several times a second...well these are interesting watches that do interest me and although i cant say i love them, i do appreciate them much more then the basic quartz watch.

I completely agree. There is something about the ticking of a standard quartz that I’m not a fan of. I’m still trying to be open to them. Maybe one day I’ll be more ok with them.
It looks a bit like a fifty fathoms

I had not seen that. It does a little bit.
There two crows that's the problem. I hate two crows watches
