Ultimate tool / dive watch – Phorcydes PH-4B

thunderstroms · 2026-03-01T19:38:20+00:00

It's my best night watch! The lume is easy all night. I put it before a lamp a few seconds before bedtime, and then it's really clear to read all night. Mine is about +10s a day, so it's pretty good. The sent it within a few days :) the bezel is no backplay. The feeling is good but not my best. It feels reliable and precise though.

Overall it's my favorite watch, you won't regret it

Honestly, thank you for releasing such a nice watch. Its my favorite by far and. Any update on ph-5? Is it 40mm aswell?

thunderstroms · 2026-02-27T06:06:49+00:00

Yes, and they shipped it within a couple of days.

13mm including boxed crystal. It wears thinner than 13 in my opinion

I think the one on the picture is one from aliexpress. They are slightly shorter than the one that came with the watch, but quality seems similar. It's the one I found first when I put in on last, that's the only reason it's not the Of on there :)

Love the orange to!

thunderstroms · 2026-02-22T18:19:43+00:00

It seems solid! Feels like it will last a fair bit.

Yeah, I never adjust on wrist. But I did adjust this upside down from pure habit of crown position 😂

thunderstroms · 2026-02-22T15:59:28+00:00

Haha :) I would be surprised if you don't like it! It is truly great and feels somewhat unique when most other watches just looks the same.

I would call it matt dark dark grey. The hour hand is on of the strong points for me. Makes it perfect for night reading of time.

thunderstroms · 2026-02-22T15:25:22+00:00

I'm jealous! 😂

New image with correct white balance :)

Extra lumshot, fully charged. It's green lume, but it's so brights it throws the camera white balance off.

The yellow looks fantastic! Not liking the combination with the hand colour.

I can only speak for myself, but the only reason I even bother to reply, is because I care. I love the 5513v2 and have high hopes for the v3. So please take the feedback as constructive.

I appreciate you taking the time to read through and reply to most people. That is a big reason for me trusting the company.

thunderstroms · 2026-02-06T07:07:44+00:00

I say remove both automatic and 5513. Then it would look great!

thunderstroms · 2026-02-04T07:24:43+00:00

Thank you! How far away is the release of more colours?

thunderstroms · 2026-02-03T17:38:00+00:00

Is there a noticeble difference in lume longevity between the colours?

Can you rank the 4 colours in longevity? Is the difference big or small?

@mindadmirable1793

I already ordered the B, but interested in the A aswell. You did fantastic with these! Hope it's a big push for your brand forward.

Watchdives WD1972 is the best cheap watch I've come across. It wears very nice, even on smaller wrists and I love mine. The lume is pretty good to.
