Although, we divers use computers, I use a bezel too. We need a stiff bezel. Whether you're going to use it as a GMT or dive, you don't want the bezel to move by accident. The stiff bezels a good thing.

Hey, I'm from Indonesia and I just wanted to say that you're making great content, so informative, love to see your other videos.

One of my favourite brands, expecially taking into account price/quality ratio. The others are (no surprises here): Helm, Zelos and Orient. I was supposed to stop ordering new watches, but I miss one with yellow dial. Oh, well...;)) Thank you!

Love the yellow dial. I love my Phoibos Wavemaster, was my first microbrand I purchased.

as someone with tiny wrists I am loving the reduced watch sizes!

Forget the watch, somebody is having a good time at the beach! 🥰🐕‍🦺

Thanks for the review. I just got the red fume dial. It's a great watch.

That yellow, black and red combination is reminiscent of Ferrari, and I’m not complaining at all!

Wow I really liked the 🍋 so I ordered it using your affiliate link for the discount! I was glad to help you since this was a great video! Thank you for the discount and Cheers! 👏👏

Beautiful looking watch. I've been looking to get a Phoibos for ages and this review has helped me make my mind up on which model to get. It was this or the thinner Nebula. Ordered this in the red and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Bargain this watch.

Beautiful timepiece, especially in the green malachite dial colour.❗

This is a fantastic looking watch! I wasn't planning to buy a watch tonight but saw these on Phoibos' website and impulse bought the red one! The green malachite dial is also a stunner. Personally, I couldn't care less about only 200 meters of water resistance since it's on a 12 hour bezel. I'm excited to get this watch. I've always liked Phoibos designs, but this one as much as any I've seen...

Really like what Phoibos are doing, a bit of character, that killer logo and, in this one, that yellow looks amazing. Great review, hope they fix the bezel even though I much prefer a stiffer bezel than not.

As always a great review. Just wanted to mention that I received one of the new batch of Voyagers this week and the bezel action is great. Got a great click, no back play, and has the right amount of resistance. Hopefully they addressed the bezel problem you mentioned in your video (and I didn't just get lucky as I normally don't with watches).

Keep those yellow dialed watches coming! Loved the turret Chrono. This Voyager really looks like a daisy with all the petal like hour markers. As always those close shots are awesome!

Check out Zenea watches, they have an awesome yellow dial dive watch among other colours. 👍🏻🎯😷🇨🇦

Thanks Peter. Love the yellow, but am not keen the hour markers. Also my preference would be a dive bezel, rather than a 2nd time zone bezel, unless they made it a gmt watch.👍

Love it! Thanks for the review. This could be my next Phoibos, or the green version with textured dial, which also looks fresh and ‘summery’. Great dial and lume, lovely bezel and bracelet and I like the 39mm size. Nice video mate. Cheers!

Very nice watch they always seem to move in the right direction It's a shame about the bezel action but not a huge negative as long as it doesn't get worse over time Which I think it might but a fine offering Thanks for another quality review my friend 👍

Nice looking watch. Love the black edged markers, great contrast, would love more like this. Always thought 200m is plenty. Make it thinner, RZE do 200 with 12.5mm on their Endeavour with NH38, not sure how others aren't matching/beating that with thinner movements like the 9015.

Hey Pete, that V3 is a good looking watch. I can see where the legibility with that dial is a step up from the V2 that's coming my way. But, I do favor the dial design of the V2 better. And having an 8 inch wrist, the larger case suits me better too. Looks like you're having some R & R, good for you bud. Looking forward to getting my Voyager V2 soon. Enjoyed the video...

Mine arrived today and I just love the red merging into black dial. Bright yellow is too loud and in ya face but alot of people love it because its sold out now on the website. This is probably the last nh35 for me now, want to appreciate the other movements. Something thinner I think.

Looks like a lemon to me! I think switching the bevel from all metal to having a bevel insert changes the character of the watch. Less bling, more ordinary. It just doesn't look right. However, it's good to see Phoebus have improved the lume! ( I own a Voyager 1 and the lume isn't great.) At least this version will look better in the dark!

Have a grey Voyager Mk1, too - no issus with lume whatsoever, which is typical for Phoibos. Ordered Mk3 in yellow, btw. Could not resist and I do miss a yellow dial watch in my collection.

Quite like that, simpler than the average Phoibus

Great review, Peter. Love this watch, that yellow is amazing. Unfortunately it has sold out! I have just purchased the red one, but haven't received it yet. The other colourwave of particular interest is the malachite one, I have a few green dial timepieces, but that one could easily find a home in my small collection. Quite a few of Phoibos' watches are a little too thick and chunky for me, and some are ruined by weird handset choices. The new Kraken has a LOT to like, but what totally kills it for me is the awful handset (the datewheels are bizzarre). I love the steel bezels on the V1 and V2 of the voyager, and the aforementioned Kraken. Sometimes Phoibos seems to try way too hard to do something totally different, but ends up going way too far and making a confused mess of their watches. A shame, as they have a lot to offer. WR of 300m is a complete nonsense, no-one dives with watches these days, so lose 1 mm or so while still offering 200 and you have a much more wearable 'dive' watch.

@PeterKotsa

Well said Graham 👍

Deciding this one or San Martin...

I think the watch is likely a great deal at it's price, but with a few tweaks it could be a great watch at a higher price. If they used a Miyota 9015, slimmed it down to ~12mm, and fixed the bezel issues it would be a very compelling package, particularly as a fun summer watch. It's in a completely different price range, but my DS30 has 200m WR, and is 10mm thin...

I couldn’t have said it better Kristian, totally agree 👍

Good looking watch, 200m is enough if it's 300 it needs a helium valve, is there one with a true diving bezel too?

Looks nice. Though polished centre links are not for me. Try dripping some oil into the bezel. One of my divers was so stiff it almost needed vice grips to move it. Now after oiling it it’s fine.

Can we officially start calling this model "The Wolverine" ?

It’s an eye catching watch… what drew my eyes was the stark white elongated diamond shape indices… the black boarder really makes them pop on top of the glossy yellow dial… great balance in design between the indices and hands. No need for the polished centre links though… it’s a full stop dive watch; extra bling not needed. Always like the reviews PK.

Love the yellow dial and the marker / hands pairing are nicely individual. I notice the scratch at 10 on the bezel, does it scratch easily?

@PeterKotsa

2 жыл бұрын

I think it might have been a fine hair or something, there's no scratches on the bezel..(needed a clean)

I think it would look better without a date window and a divers extension would be nice. A bit too tall for me

The indices 3 and 9 look a bit odd. Would like it more If they were the same shape as the others, but I guess that is the character of the watch, otherwise too similar to a Seiko Monster.

Lake blue or yellow one? hmmm

Was tempted by the previous model, but didn't get it because for my tastes 40mm is too small - so this is a backward step for me, especially as that textured dial was the biggest attraction... Do like their designs & love the logo , & good they are doing original stuff to suit a variety of sizes . Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻

This is a better watch but with a less interesting design. Same story as the new Zelos Spearfish vs. the older Swordfish.

Nice review! Phoibos seem to make well specced, well built watches, but their dial designs are always a tad cartoonish for my tastes.

Im simply not a fan of this watch. I believe the older versions had polished case sides and this one has brushed case sides so that's an improvement. But I don't like the hour hand that's so thin at its base, it looks too fragile for me. And I don't like the fact that the indices at 3 and 9 look bigger than the 12 o'clock index.

@PeterKotsa

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah definitely not without flaws..some mismatch For me, I really dislike the bezel action and thickness of the case, should have been closer to 12mm IMHO Thanks for sharing Alex 👍

Have to disagree, I think the resistance Phoibos bezels offer is perfect. It is very subjective though. Best Phoibos watch is still the Nebula in my opinion. The vertical brushing on the watch you reviewed is horrible, but still better than polishing I suppose

OK...its not slimmer tho. 13.9 =14mm. It was and still is the biggest issue with this watch, its just too tank-ish with that thickness. If they can find a way to knock off 1MM from it, its a no brainer cus it looks fantastic and the V1/V2 enamel dials were amazing.
