- Here's the review of the V2 Phoibos Wave Master GMT PY049H. This is the new and improved version. But the question is what have they changed to improve it?
Here's a link to the watch on their website:

That looks fantastic. I’m really digging the green dial, and Phoibos’ introductory prices are always a great value. Thanks for the great review. And I’m glad they are starting to make smaller sizes.
Yeah I completely agree. Cheers mate.
Green dial ?!!
@@quarters-eye8922Ha! Yeah I don’t know why, but I’ve been really liking green dials lately. I bought one of Jody’s Erebus Ascent Watches, and I came very close to getting the green dial. I went with the safer choice and got the enamel white though.
@@quarters-eye8922 There's a green dial option, as well as a black and also a white too.
Good review, this is a nice watch, great lume and very well priced. I actually don't mind the white date wheel, because it is at 6, it is more legible. It is a bit heavy, but the thickness was less than I expected. I like it, but prefer my SN0116.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked the review. The smaller dimensions compared to the previous version are definitely a plus in my book.
Great review mate 👍!
Cheers mate 👍
Ooooh - date wheel the same shade of blue as the lume would be cool.
That would be pretty cool now you mention it actually.
I was thinking about old version for a long time but eventually didn't buy it.
This one looks better, but they should have kept 42mm. 39 is instant dealbreaker.
It's not 39mm, it's 40mm, including the bezel, or 39.5mm for the case.
What size wrist do you have?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I never measured my wrist, it doesn't really matter to me. I simply don't like small watches, even more since this recent downsizing trend.
I wish more watches were like Seiko Sumo. 44mm size and 50+ lug to lug. This looks right to me.

Thank you, as always a really nice and simple review. Really good looking piece. Cheers Tony from Scandinavia
Thank you very much Tony 👍
looks amazing but also pricey. nice video.
Given what you're getting and with the discount code, I think it's reasonable. Thanks.
I'm waiting for the black dial eagle ray to come back in stock.
That one is really nice. Have you seen my review of it?
The end links just aren't well designed. The fact it looked OK on your wrist doesn't mean there is no room for improvement. Imho, the date wheel should be light blue!
I agree with you about the end links.
Yeah, someone else suggested a light blue date wheel too. That would be pretty cool.
Hi James, great review as always. Just out of curiosity it seems that Phoibos no longer ships from a UK warehouse ? Do you know if this is the case, and if so, would you be stung with taxes etc if shipped from EU warehouse?
Cheers mate. I've always opted to get them shipped from China, to avoid customs fees.
Thanks for the update James, bought an Eagle Ray a few years ago from Uk warehouse, will go the China route if I pick up another Phoibos.
I need to get one in hand
You definitely do. Which colour are you thinking?
@@HonestWatchReviewsHWR I love them all!
@@dadmodswatches They do all look good.
San Martin made lower tier micros (like Phoibos) irrelevant to me. No color-matched date window and way too heavy.
I really wouldn't call this "lower tier". Yes it would be nice to have things like a colour match date wheel, but that's only really a minor gripe.
As for the weight, I don't have any issue with that at all.
@HonestWatchReviewsHWR Agreed, as much as I enjoy my San Martin quality watches my black dial version of this quality wise is very close and the design is very nice. Weight doesn't bother me at all.
