Been a fan of the Phoibos since they started out. They've worked themselves into a nice consistent aesthetic and I think the octopus is a big plus, it's a fun design. That red is a smokeshow.

I bought an eagle ray automatic a few months ago in the blue and I really like it. I absolutely detest Roman numerals on watches especially a diver so that would be a no for me. I did have a few quality issues with my watch. The clasp was screwed up on arrival and it needed to be replaced however they asked me to pay a $20 shipping fee to send out a new one so I told them I would send the watch back for a full refund under the 30-day guarantee and sure enough they agreed to send it out for free.

An excellent review as usual Jody! I am so proud to be the guy that came up with the Eagle Ray name for Phoibos years ago. It was their first contest, done through the FB page. I won a Phoibos Ocean Master 1000M Automatic. I still own and love that watch. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that the Eagle Ray name would be assigned to; what is it now... Four watches? The heart breaking thing for me is that I saved for a year to buy a vintage style Bronze Eagle Ray and owned it a week just to loose it when my car was broken into and it was stolen out of the center console. My deductible was higher than the cost of a new one so even though I named the watch line, I don't own one.

I owned this in Black & gilt when it first came out in a Quartz motor. A lot of the detail attracted me & the watch was stunning. I just found compressors are not my taste. But the dial, w/Roman chapter ring; everything on the watch impressed. I still own an Eagleray Bronze & SS. The Swiss Bronze is my very favourite. And I do like syringe hands. Two many handsets are knock-offs from other brands. Syringe is a good milspec look. If mine was an auto, I might still have it. The other Eaglerays just out shined the compressor variation.

Thanks, Jodie! This one is a beauty. I have the red standard Eagle Ray and it’s a favourite daily, running at around 0/+2 sec per day. Moans and niggles - One issue though, that I wonder if you have heard about: The hour hand sometimes doesn’t reach the centre of the hour marker until almost 5 past the hour. (OCD)! This happens on about 6 out of 12 hours due to a lazy/loose hour hand. A couple of people on other pages have commented that they have the same issue with different models of Eagle Ray including the one in today’s review. If I wiggle the crown back and forth, the hour hand gets in line again so I can set the time correctly but it becomes lazy again quite soon after. If Phoibos’ London distributor handled repairs I would definitely have sent it back, but as it’s not worth sending it back to HK (threat of EU customs tax on return) and a handset and spindle change isn’t cost effective, I just try to ignore it. I’m curious as to whether any other JOMW fans have this issue with their Eagle Rays. Cheers mate!

Similarly, 14mm is kind of talk for me. I realize it's tough to slim down too much with the NH35, but if they used the Miyota 9000 series (like they did on some of their early models), and shorten the height down, it'd be easier for me to buy.

I have an early Phoibos watch and it looks and runs great. My only quip with it is that one of the chrome rings from one of the indices has come loose and is loose in there. I've stopped wearing it for fear that the ring will interfere with the hand movement and mess it up. Once my favorite watch shop re-opens from the pandemic I'll have them fix that bit and then I am sure I'll have more years of service.

When Phoibos came out they used premium Miyota movements. I really like the 6 HZ movement much better for a smoother second-hand sweep. It is nice looking, I also love red dials. Sadly this one is a bit too chunky for me. I had the sub homage one that came out a few years ago but sold it because I could not handle the weight. It would be nice to see some 38mm watches from microbrands. They are usually 39 to 43 if not larger. I think this would be great for someone with a larger wrist than mine who likes a bit of heft to it. The design is really nice. Just wish they had a more compact size of it.

I’ve been going back and forth between the Dan Henry and Spinnaker compressors for a year. This was about to be a contender but you’re right about those hands, way out of proportion. The hour hand needs to be slimmed down to the thickness of the minute hand and shortened to just graze the inserts and the minute needs to be slimmed down to the thickness of the inserts and lengthened just a hair to touch the track. IMO. Allegedly.

Hi Jody. I saw this in your video back in January and oh boy was I looking forward to it being released. If your watching this in Europe and you didn’t jump on them when they were on the store last week, you’re too late, black and gilt has already sold out. I’ve given it a pass for 2 reasons. The dial being one, just too many things going on - letters and numbers on the dial, then circular and baton indices, then Roman numerals, then numbers again. Whoa there. Just pick one or two and go with it. And the second reason was the price. I just couldn’t justify over £300 for an NH35 powered compressor watch. There are plenty of AliExpress watches with NH35s for less than £100, and I think Phoibos are cashing in on the limited numbers of their watches. They certainly don’t order enough and are very slow to restock. I do however love their Wavemaster and it’s a much better price than this.

Another great review, mate. Might be time to add another to my Phoibos collection.

Would be nice if the hour hand square would just reach the round indices, just a bit shorter, Proportions look good apart from that. Great video as always!

Phoibos is the affordable microbrand watch. You get so much value for money.

I think that the lip ski nautique automatique (available for 399 euros) comes close to the price category, and it has the looks that appeal to me, so I would be considering this as well with the couple you had mentioned. It has a Miyota 821A, not a NH 35, so that might put you off, but I like the look more somehow

If you're from the EU, I wouldn't use Phoibos's European site. Use the international site. As the watches from the European site ship from the UK you'll still be paying VAT and customs just like from the international site. You'll also be able to use JOMW10 or whatever other discount code that you have. Basically a Reef Master will work out about €50 cheaper on the international site. I do love the Reef Master but I love a bargain more.

About the hands, shorter hour hand with tip barely touches hour indices and lolipop circle that doesn't overlap with 12/6/9 markers... That would be more clean IMHO.

Hey Jody! I love your videos. You should take a look at the speidel digital watch. Its a watch from a century old brand, good bracelet and stainless steel case for $25. It seems to be much better spec'd for the price compared to casios

The dial is gorgeous - if only they made a gold version with the green dial I agree about the hands, especially the hour hand. I don't like that it looks wider than the markers.

Looks fantastic, the bracelet could have been better but at this price can we really complain?

Best Phoibos I have ever seen! Those five links (if they are individual components) might loosen over time? Maybe the tolerance was upped on the links so that they don't stretch too badly with time.

I have the eagle Ray GMT quartz and I love it. I have the black and silver version on a tropic. I wanted the black and gold so am tempted with this Jody as I missed the all bronze sf40 last week, grrrr!
