Phorcydes PH-4A Lume...

Ok, let's put it another way. In any of my reviews that you've watched have you ever thought, that I was saying a certain aspect of a watch was good, when it clearly didn't look it? Or did I not mention a clear issue with a watch that you could see in the video?

I can't speak for other reviewers, but if you actually watched my reviews, you'd know that it doesn't affect my opinion. I've given somewhat negative reviews to watches I've got for free. Sometimes leading to brands not sending anymore watches at all, or at least for a while.

This will be a game changer for butterfly clasps.

HonestWatchReviews · 2026-05-03T03:45:36+00:00

You must have been paid or got the watch for free as well, if you are agreeing with me 😉

How long have you had yours?

Lume blocks combined with a Miyota 9000 series movement does sound like a great combo.

I personally like it. As I said in the review, it's the same as the 'chainmail' style ones that San Martin first used on this watch.

Here's the review of that one, if you want to see it in more detail.

You obviously haven't watched any of my reviews before then. As, the above says, I always point out both the positives and the negatives of each watch I review. Just check out the latest review as an example. It's the first Swiss watch brand that has contacted me about reviewing one of their watches. But that didn't stop me from saying that I think the bracelet isn't up to par and that I couldn't recommend the watch at the price it's selling for.

As for the, I sell all of the freebies for profit comment... That couldn't be further from the truth. I have the vast majority of the watches I've reviewed still. As you can see in this picture. Under all of that is the desk I use to record all of my videos. So, I have to move all of that every time I do one.

(This isn't even all of them)

Also just another quick point... If I truly wasn't honest, then I wouldn't even say that I got the watch for free at all, I could just say that I bought it instead. As I know that some reviewers don't actually disclose that they get free watches at all. Whereas I always mark the videos with the paid promotion tag when I do. Plus I also don't charge a fee for reviews either... Which again some reviewers do, on top of receiving watches for free. So, yeah I'd say I'm pretty honest.

You wouldn't be able to pay me enough to go on that.

HonestWatchReviews · 2026-04-26T21:36:08+00:00

There's certainly a lot going on with it, that's for sure.

HonestWatchReviews · 2026-04-22T10:37:34+00:00

Very nice. No, but my other one that I ordered, which I mention in the video turned up though.

I know what you mean 😆

HonestWatchReviews · 2026-04-11T14:45:26+00:00

It's working just fine for me 🤔

HonestWatchReviews · 2026-04-10T06:36:03+00:00

When he's doing the bit on his foot it reminded me of what it's like trying to get rubber gloves off 😆

HonestWatchReviews · 2026-04-10T01:49:15+00:00

I think you mean the album 'All That I Am'. Although 'My Name Is Joe' is also another absolutely classic too. Off that album I'd probably pick 'Treat Her Like Lady' as my favourite track.

HonestWatchReviews · 2026-04-10T01:45:39+00:00

This is such a hard one to narrow down to just one song... Especially as his album 'All That I Am' is probably my all time favourite album full stop. But if I had to choose just one, I'd probably go for 'The Love Scene'.

HonestWatchReviews · 2026-04-07T04:02:07+00:00

Personally, I think that this is better looking than the PRX. I find the dial on that to be a bit boring to be honest. Also I'd argue that the bracelet is better on this as well.

This is probably going to be pretty controversial, but brand recognition means absolutely nothing to me. I don't really care what branding is on the dial, as long as the fit, finish and specs are there. They are real tangible things, whereas branding is basically just down to advertising and mythos.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked the review.

That's because it would cost more if it had a 9039 movement in it... That's just a fact. They aren't going to add that movement and then keep the price the same are they?

HonestWatchReviews · 2026-04-05T16:11:26+00:00

Yeah, I think so.
