OUTSTANDING VALUE but some minor details
Everything good that you heard about this watch is true. Great quality for a very fair price.PROS:1) BRACELET. Solid and handsome with smooth and sexy case fit. Nice tan stainless color and easy to maintain brushed finish across (get rid of scratches with scotch brite). Big plus is a female end link which makes the 50 mm lug-to-lug feel slightly smaller.2) CASE. Solid build quality and nicely polished sides. Slightly thick for a quartz watch (13 mm) but justified because of the 300 m WR.3) SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL. Despite no AR it is already a bonus at this price.4) MOVEMENT. The Ronda 515 caliber is reliable and accurate. My piece has only gained 4 seconds in two weeks! I really wanted a dependable quartz because I needed a "Grab-and-Go" watch without having to worry about winding an automatic, positional accuracy deviations, etc .5) BEZEL. Very readable. Special appreciation for the RAISED PIP which is very useful at night. Satisfying action, no back play, but a bit loud.6) DIAL. Nice sunburst with classy applied indexes. Since it is completely monochromatic (no hint of red or orange) the watch can be dressed up very nicely with any Nato or leather (see Bond Nato in picture). Only flaw is the obnoxious logo discussed below.CONS (I hate to deduct a star but these points need looking at):1) LUME. The much touted BGW9 Super-LumiNova, which was responsible for a 20% price increase, is a mediocre 5 or 6 compared to, say, Seiko's lume.2) LOGO. Too loud and distracting when the hands are in that area and it makes "reading at a glance" difficult. Since the distraction really bothered me I ended up shading the logo with a regular pencil to make it gray (See picture).3) SECONDS HAND REGISTRATION. The seconds hand lands correctly only on the northern hemisphere of the dial. This is s typical pet peeve with less expensive watches.4) BRACELET MICRO ADJUSTMENTS. Three micro adjustments are not enough in my opinion, it would be better to have four or five. I couldn't make it fit my 7.5 inch wrist properly.

Impressive solid feeling watch for the price. Unidirectional bezel turns nicely, and actually better feeling than a ~$600 German dive watch I own. Has kept excellent time for the month I've had it. Nicely finished stainless steel case and solid link bracelet well contoured to the case at the end links; the bracelet links don't use screw pins which would have been nice. Nice looking engraved details on various parts: the crown has a kind of script "P," caseback has an attractive crowned octopus surrounded by notable watch specs (e.g. "Sapphire Crystal"), and "Phoibos" etched onto the braclet's polished fold-over clasp. The black dial is nice, I was hoping it would have a little more of a deep oil slick black sunburst effect to it that I think the green and blue variants have, I may be mistaken, but it's still nice and clean with well-applied hour markers. I'm not a fan of the "Phoibos" print on the dial, leaves a little to be desired; maybe a more interesting font or a tiny octopus design something like the nice one on the caseback would have been cool. The lume is the least admirable aspect of the watch, it charges to a noticeable level under UV light but is inconsistent in brightness between the hands and dial markers, it also discharges very quickly in only a few minutes. Ultimately, when it comes down to it and you remind yourself it's a only a $99 watch this piece provides a lot for little and feels like like ~$250-300 watch.

The best Submariner homage under $200, period. Incredible watch for the money! Nice build quality, sapphire crystal, Super-LumiNova BGW9 lume, dead accurate Swiss quartz movement, how can you go wrong for under $120! I was surprised how nice this watch was constructed and looks for the price point, honestly!
Really impressed with the bracelet: heavy solid links, solid end links—feels substantial and heavy, they did not skimp here. The friction pins sized incredibly easily, and the micro adjusting pins practically moved themselves into position (I usually struggle with micro adjusting pins). This bracelet’s quality showed in the ease of sizing—easily the easiest friction pin watch bracelet I have ever sized. This is NOT a $19.95 Chinese bracelet!
My only gripe (and it’s minimal) is that the classic round hour indices are a bit too large. They are more Seiko sized rather than Rolex sized. Others have criticized the 42mm case, but I’m 6ft2 with small 6.75” wrists, and the size is just perfect for me. But it is noticeably larger than the classic 40mm Submariner case.
If an automatic movement isn’t make-or-break for you, and you can appreciate the Ronda quartz movement and it’s accuracy, this Phoibos is the best no-brainer (and Invicta kicking) watch around for us classic Submariner fans.

Pros:
Beautiful Submariner Homage that manages to different enough to not be a copy (IMO). Awesome Caseback design/engraving. Signed screw down crown. The bezel clicks are very precise with little to no play (very nice!). The case and bezel finishing is well done. Both the polished and the brushed surfaces. Being a quartz diver, it is practically indestructible. Typical quartz timekeeping (mine is about +1-2 seconds a month). 300m Water Resistance! The stainless steel strap is high quality (with solid links and end links). The $99 price tag is an exceptional value. The 42mm case size (My favorite watch size). High quality scratch resistant sapphire crystal.
Cons:
The 42mm case size? (Maybe too big for some folks?). The quality is amazing, but but the watch is made in China. Average lume.
The bottom line is that I really like this watch. For the money, I'm not aware of anything that is it's equal. The watch has handled everything I have thrown at it. I just returned from a week of ocean and snorkeling and the watch handled that just fine. Highly recommended.
This is a wonderful quartz dive watch for the money

Superb watch at a fantastic price!

Out of all the watches he owns, he pointed me towards this one for multiple reasons:
1. It’s a great price
2. It’s properly waterproof - not like my seiko
3. It’s got a sapphire display
4. It’s battery powered so is always accurate and will always be on time - even if left in a drawer for a while
5. It’s got a fantastic blue lume
6. It’s a great size - not too big, not too small
7. The finish is fantastic all around
After he’d shown me all of his watches, I agreed that this one probably the best one for me. Boy, that decision was the right one! This watch is fantastic. It looks great, it feels great, it comes superbly packaged in its own box and it’s supremely accurate!
I did have a slight downer on the original delivery as the indices were slightly off centre, but I sent it back and got this perfect replacement with no fuss whatsoever.
In summary: A superb watch at a fantastic price. I expect that this will now last me forever - it’s so well made. I would highly recommend this watch to anyone and you can even get the blue face version if you want something a bit fancier.
