Phoibos Eagle Ray 200m Watch Review 

I bought this exact model using your promo code last year. I love this watch and have worn it every day since i received it.

Gosh, that is a stunning watch I've ever seen. It's really cool that a content creator like you makes a review of an absolute dope watch like this. You've just made yourself a new subscriber to the channel

Videos from this channel were always exceptionally good. Now that there are links to the straps - perfection 👌

That is one beautiful watch, from the dimensions to that gorgeous dinamic dial. I love the internal rotating bezel! Really affordable too.

I love this watch. I've got the black and gold one, and really, it is stunning. The build quality is beyond the line for this price point. I've got a big wrist, so the size is no issue. I love the design of the bracelet as well, very reminissent of the Omega Seamaster, I LOVE IT. One of my favourite watches.

Very nice looking watch Peter with great specs. Thanks for sharing

I must say this is a beautiful watch from Phoibos, I think it’s an offspring from Longines Legend Diver and Omega Seamaster 300m. Excellent review as always!

Love the look of this one, especially the white dial model. 👏

Great review, examples with different straps very helpful. Thank you so much!

She's a stunner! I have one Phoibos the Voyager in grey and love the dial....

Hello Pete, nice review mate. I like compressor style watches, and this Phoibos seems very nice and good value for money. I have a Phoibos Wave Master and I am overall happy with it. Thank you for another excellent review. Take care and have a wonderful week 👍🙏🙂

I’m floored … 🤭 What a fantastic looking watch! Phoibos is on a roll! First with their knockout “Apollo” models, now with this Eagle Ray 200m Compressor. Nice review. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Peter thanks for the contents, I was looking for a cheaper compressor watch I think u just found it for me many thanks

The year of the super compressor style! One of the Phoibos' better offerings for sure

I received the orange dial variant, and it looks so good, I'm ready to add the white dial. This is truly an even more beautiful watch in hand! I changed out the bracelet for a female endlink bracelet.

First time watching a Phoibos review. I like the idea of the inner bezel. Good review, thanks. Just subbed you.

I agree about the movement, a Miyota 9015 would have made it a more compelling package for me. I have no interest in the NH35/38, as they add thickness, and the lower beat rate is less visually appealing.

Love the white and the orange dials. Great review as always mate.

Love this dial so much wow. Just wish it was 2mm thinner 14 is a bit much for me.

I think it's only the second time I watch your channel - but I've bought the watch on both occasions 😂 (Last time it was the coke Promaster). When I first saw this come out I thought I was going to pass but only until I saw your review of the white one. Stunning! I do agree about the movement but in fact I love the roman numerals. The bracelet - I guess I will have to wait and see, but a compressor style is always great combined with a tropical.

That's a good looking watch! Nice review as always Peter! I also like the inner rotating bezel but i believe it takes away the possibility to change your mind or make a second count underwater.

I bought the red dial version Peter & it’s a beautiful/stunning looking watch. I’ve left the bracelet on mine & find it very comfortable.

Nice watch overall. I didn't notice the Roman numerals until you pointed them out. The NH will last and keep good time. Good value.

Great review Pete. I've got one (red dial) and am very happy. It sits comfortably on my 7 inch wrist and I love the weight of it. Agree with your point about the Romans numerals and I pondered on that before buying but I find they are small enough not to be too noticeable. The strap is pretty comfortable but I might try out a rubber one after seeing what yours looked like!

I ordered but withdrawed from v1 couple of months ago,this one with the pattern on the dial is really a great looking watch,much more appealing than v1.Especially orange and white.But as You said 52 lug to lug with the bracelet is too much for me,plus 14mm thickness is also much.So Im glad I dont get it earlier😉

These are great value watches, I have 2 Wave Masters and they hold their own in my collection amongst other more expensive divers.

Great video Peter 👍

Absolutely stunning watch, definitely got a whiff of the omega about it but reimagined in a brilliant way in my opinion!

Nice looking watch and that colour way is great. Shame there's no drilled lugs for easier strap changes as that thing is great for changing up the look. Great channel 👍

I almost didn’t watch the video simply because I am not at all interested in that watch. But because I love your reviews and voice (lol), I watched. And now!!! I love that watch. Just wish the hour hand were a bit shorter to more differentiate it from the minute hand at a glance.

Phoibos is a brand that I have followed from their beginning. Every time I see one of their models that I like, it is either too small or it has an NH35. Oh well, sooner or later they will produce something that I will be quick to pull out my AMEX card.

nice review,your rite about the roman numerals there not needed,still a good looking watch for the cash.

Looks great and not a bad price

Beautiful watch, absolutely nothing wrong with it👍🏼

Phoibos = Greek meaing of sun god worship ! The shiny watch!

Revisiting this video after humming and harring about ordering this watch as 2 things didn’t quite fell into place - wasn’t sure about the colour way (I was torn between the black/gold and the red) and the bracelet (not a fan of this style of bracelet). I just realised you absolutely nailed it: White is the best colour and it needs to be on a strap and not a metal bracelet! Went back to their website to order one only to just find out they don’t even list the Sun Ray White anymore… 😞 So far, online searches for this model pre-owned have produced no results… gutted.

I love the dial and the Roman numerals on the railroad track don't really bother me. While the lugs extend the overall size, it wears very well and I don't notice it on my wrist at all. Another smashing review Peter.

Just ordered one get it Wednesday

Lovely dial. Ditch the bracelet and black rubber/silicone strap. Nice review Peter.

That's a great looking watch. If I didn't have the Christopher Ward compressor in my collection I might be tempted! Nice colourways too. I am suffering the NH35 fatigue too. Thanks for the review!

Very nice, Peter. I'll take it. :)

Phoibos really turn out some cracking watches at very good prices. There's homages that are as we know just nice copies of more expensive watches costing more than this Phoibos. Excellent review.

That is a beautiful watch.

Beautiful watch for sure. Like you I am not a fan of roman numerals but in this case I would still buy one of these. Looking at the Wave Master for my next purchase. Nice review as usual ..

stunning stunningg piece 😍

I just got the apollo about a week ago (the titanium diver). It is far from perfect but it does look good. 2 of the screw pins are stripped on the bracelet, the bracelet is a hair puller and the date does not line up in the window very well. It’s lightweight, looks good and works soo idk…

Pretty watch, but for me the appeal of divers is the thick bezel protecting the crystal from knocks and the supercompressors completely negate that by having a big vulnerable crystal.. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻

I have the orange variant on the way to me. I have Phoibos Proteus and love it. You make good points for the white dial. I have over 40 watches with many movements and NH35 is without a doubt the most accurate from all my samples.

Hi mate - thanks for the review it helped me decide on a purchase of the same colorway. Please could you kindly check one thing on your unit that is slightly bothering me about mine: Do all the date numbers always fit centrally within the 3 o’clock date window? On mine, the numbers from 24 until 11 (especially obvious on 3,4,5,6,7) all sit quite a bit too high. Whilst the 12-23 numbers seem much better aligned. This can be seen both when quick-setting the date by 1st click crown, or when date changes naturally after midnight. Over half the numbers are misaligned towards the top of the date-window. So it’s unlikely a date-wheel alignment issue or it would affect all the numbers equally. Maybe just a strange printing on the disc for a 4-o’clock crown. Wondered if yours displays anything similar? Great to hear from you, well done with the channel, and keep up all the great efforts. Happy New Year!

I wish they had the Octopus on the clasp instead of the name :(

idk why but the roman bezel on the edge of the dial looks so wrong, yet so right... when i look at the close up shot it seems odd but when the camera tilts out , those roman numerals seem to be really well-placed

I wonder if they would ship this with one of their other bracelets on it. I like the seamaster style but I already have a seamaster. The watch they sell with the jubilee looks like it has similar lugs.

Peter, after several months I bought finally a new watch the Vostok komandirskie 24hours white dial from Germany. Very good your video as always, but I prefer the Russia than Hong King kong!!! All the best buddy.

Very good!

Niewiarygodnie nadzwyczajnie piękny zegarek. Wspaniały gust .😍

You're right. A myota 9000 2oukd have been better for the price. Love the watch though and great colour options, great vid again 👍

If I hadn't just last night ordered the Christopher Ward C65 Super Compressor in Ocean Blue, this watch would have been a lovely option.

I have the red dial version of this watch which I am very happy with but this white dial one looks fantastic, don't think this colourway was even an option when I got mine.

Nice watch ...but i never buy because nh 35 seiko...i have legend diver bronze,marnaut seascape,and i wait for receive the baltic dual crown in 2 weeks i hope? And i wait the 22 october to order the giant stride (what beautiful style compressor too) Nice review like always peter....bye

I happen to agree, they should have went with a 9000 series miyota, higher beat rate be worth paying more. I agree on roman numerals, except on a Cartier, they just fit that brand and they know how to balance them out.

❤oh i missed this out 😢

NH35 for $360 with that quality finish is ok

At least Phoibos does appear to be developing its own dna and look, unlike many other micro-brands. Bit like NTH, Vaer etc.

Hi Peter could possibly tell me where to buy red rubber strap thanks

That dial looks gorgeous, nice applied markers and the logo on the crowns is a nice touch too. Shame about the lug to lug I don’t think it would fit my slender wrists considering a 50ml is only just doable for me

Great content ! Nice video mate !!

They made a mistake with the numerals. 4 is shown as IIII on the watch but should be IV or 1 before 5.

Gosh, i missed their GMT Eagle Ray, lovely watch... Still, this is also very interesting, other than the bracelet, very Omega, not a fan. But the dial, hands, slim outer bezel and the whole look of the watch is outstanding. On the red strap is awesome! Really like the scratches on the dial too. But i'll wait for their new GMT, will come out, won't it...???? 😏😄 Thanks mate, be well, enjoy. PS With you 110% about the roman numerals, never liked'em on watches. Although here they are very discreet...

I tried to find one with white dial, but no luck.

2 or 3 mm less thickness and it would be soo close to perfection.

Phoibos is The Microbrand .

The watch have one big mistake, the dial is not good centered with diver scale ring, part from the left side of the dial, printing part is under diver scale ring.

$360 is a good price

The sad thing: ist has no divers extention 😔

Not a fan of the band, but it's a nice watch

Thanks for the video and honesty that this is paid review. "As all of you know that never influences my review..."....to be honest nobody can know it.

Great looking watch apart from the ugly TAG 80's style bracelet and weird Roman numerals,I'm a big fan of compressor style watches but compere this to the longene ,a clean ,elegant watch, sometimes less is more. I appreciate it's not an homage and that's a great thing but if they just cleaned up and simplified the dial this would be an absolute winner

Maybe it would be better with Greek numerals 😝?

What’s price on this?

Nothing is wrong with the movement. Nh35 a reliable seiko movement. Some reviewers are disguised watch snobs.

"it does look like a more expensive unit than it presents itself" what does that mean? Talk about a contradiction. Please Explain!

Hiya Pete! As much as I appreciate your opinion on watches in general, I completely disagree about this watch There is too much going on: knurling of the bezel, knurling of the crowns, the bracelet style, feather texture of the dial, roman numerals in the railroad minute track....nothing fits together, nothing corresponds, they're just random design elements put together. The handset with the hour hand being way too big is just ugly and the indices at 6 and 9 are too small....just my two cents, sorry!

Looks better on a strap. Think it would look better with the brand name on dial rather than a picture of an Octopus, those sort of logos seem a little childish to me for some reason. Nice looking piece thought.

Release the Kraken. The watch would look a lot better....

Phoibos makes very pretty watches but that logo is such a turnoff for me.

It's certainly an unoriginal format, but at least your voice isn't ridiculously and cartoonishly over-processed. Better music too.

That logo spoils the whole watch.

new Orient looks better costs less! and this is the main reason! micro brands must have a micro price, otherwise there is no point in them. A watch from Aliexpress level 20-30 dollars cannot cost so much How many dishonest sellers ask for them. you have to be a complete idiot to buy this watch for such prices

Seriously, this is just a cocktail of arbitrary, superfluous, unrelated design elements and tacky decorations without any stylistic or historical connection but with a mushy 90s style case and flashy bracelet. Nothing in this design makes any sense. It hurts my eyes, I consider it an insult, I want it wiped off the planet, I love to hate it. Yuck!

They should get rid of that logo, it’s hideous.
