Review (5/5): High end features on an affordable watch.
The Invicta pro diver has a reputation for being the best most affordable submariner homage watch on the market. This one might be better. Assuming you are ok with a quartz movement. It has a better bracelet than the Invicta with solid end links. It has a ceramic bezel, a sapphire crystal, and the logo is really cool. The crowned octopus on the face and engraved on the case back are really attractive in my opinion. The Invicta will give you a Seiko automatic movement with a display case back which is nice too. But I'm ok with quartz and no one accept the wearer cares if it a quartz anyway and quartz keeps more accurate time. The Phoibos is available from some vendors with an automatic movement but that version is way more than an Invicta pro diver. So both this model and the Invicta pro diver are good bargain watches but I think this Phoibos has a little more charm and some features usually reserved for more expensive watches. If your not a watch snob and want a great deal on a sturdy reliable watch that will last you years and won't scratch easily this watch us hard to beat.
