Classy watch at a bargain price!
I have no idea why this watch is so inexpensive. My son collects watches and mentioned this brand. I was shocked that it was such a quality watch, heavy with great workmanship. My son needed a larger size and the company very quickly provided him with more links. Truly astonished that this name is not more well known.

Four Stars
Nice watch. Blue Phoibos has a better dial. Dial has a grainy look.

excellent..
If this were a $500.00 homage, I'd rate it at three stars. The second hand is slightly off. For a $100.00, excellent.....definitely a five star. Heavy weight, not as much as a rolex, but still a good homage for a $100.00. Nice and lenghty band. I had to have it shorten, and I have medium sized wrists. I took it to a fine watch repairer, who complimented on the face color. The slight comment he had was that someone would have to look at it three times before determining that it wasn't a rolex. Just as a reminder, this is a homage and is quartez....not an automatic. The battery life is supposed to be two to three years, excellent value.

... watch after reading the reviews and I am very disappointed..
I have bought this watch after reading the reviews and I am very disappointed...First of all bad things about this watch is about Luminova, witch is just a bad joke or just non existent...The magnifier of date is just a piece of plastic glued on the glass, so I'm expecting just bad things in the future...The Ronda mechanism inside is just a far east swiss mouvement with a retail price arround 8 USD, so do not expect great things from it...So, I really do not understand the great reviews of this watch, but in my opinion this one doesn't worth more than 30 USD at max.Chinese stuff with american price, be aware!Bad bad buy!

phoibos watch review
this is a very good deal. good review of the watch models on youtube. the ronda swiss quartz 515 is a very good work horse movement found in watchs costing a lot more money.

Excessively thick, heavy
Carefully removed watch from box, removed plastic wrap from face to better view face for first time, in person - the photos make it look nicer, classier - in person, not so much. Looks like an ordinary watch trying to look like an expensive one - to add insult to injury, I cannot return the watch because I removed the plastic wrap! Bear in mind, I can go to a watch retailer in the local shopping mall, take the watch home, put it on my wrist, and then decide to return it - no problem (provided of course, the watch is not damaged) - not with these guys - once you receive it, look at it with the wrap off, that is it.

Extreme value, watch the rear sticker
Spectacular. I got the green version. The watch looks great in person. The bezel clicks crisply. I haven't taken it in the water, so I can't attest to the waterproofness. But the screw-down crown and 300M claim reassure me. The links of the band are solid and the band looks good. I adjusted the length myself with a tool I got here on AMZ. The clasp is secure and includes the little clasp that goes on top of the big clasp. I have a relatively small wrist for a guy (barely over 6 inches) and it fits fine after removing some links. It has three of those 'fine tuning' connection point options where the band connects to the clasp so that you can get the fit precise after removing some links.One thing I should mention is that, while the clear sticker on the face of the watch came right off as those stickers typically do, the sticker on the back of the watch was a different story entirely. It was stuck so thoroughly that it took me a while to even notice that there was a sticker on the back. When I did notice, it did not come off easily at all. In fact after I got it about 1/3 off, it occurred to me that it was so thick and tightly attached that perhaps they intended for this sticker to remain on. When I got it off I had to carefully use alcohol on q-tips to remove the adhesive from the back. That took a while but everything is fine now. The engraved logo on the caseback is sweet, by the way.It's not automatic, but I prefer that. I don't have time to mess around with winding a watch I haven't worn in a while, keeping it on a self-winder, or taking it in for service on a mechanism. Just run on a battery please. This watch does, of course. You can't go wrong. Looks like a Rolex but is tougher and more reliable.

Great Watch
I really love this watch! Taking it out of the box, the 1st thing I noted was how heavy is the watch & band combination. The weight alone imparts a feeling of quality. The brushed and polished finishes are impressive. The bezel turns smoothly with positive clicks. Suitable as a diving, sport or dress watch. Better than most watches costing over $600. As a final note, for watch snob, you can now buy an automatic (mechanical) version of this watch.
