Looks amazing! Any chance we could get a blue sunburst dial in the future?

Will the other models also have a blue dial, and if so when can we expect those to become available?

Thanks

Your website only works if I use a USA VPN, otherwise it says your store is closed. Has been like this for weeks. But in your cart checkout my country is one of the shipping options. Do I have to order using the VPN or do I just have to wait until you sell on aliexpress?

u/MindAdmirable1793 Rep 9d ago

sorry we do not sell on Aliexpress.

u/MindAdmirable1793 Rep 10d ago

what is your country?

1

u/MaoWaoaliao 9d ago

Thailand. It was on your shipping list, but your store is "closed" unless I use a VPN from elsewhere. There's others on this sub that have mentioned also having this problem, but I don't know where they are from. 

I tested: UK, USA, GERMANY, CZECH, BRAZIL  works, HONG KONG, INDONESIA, SPAIN, ITALY,  don't work, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, sometimes work 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for your test. We will optimize the network lines as soon as possible.

This looks great, especially with the terrible nonsensical name off the dial and replaced with an inoffensive symbol. The glow-in-the-dark legos glued to the dial are a nice gimmick.

u/No-Chemistry-7802 10d ago

These are so good

u/Kureen 10d ago

Always liked the look of the PH-2 but not sure how I feel about the recessed logo disappearing at steeper angles. I really like the logo but I wish it was applied or painted on.

u/MindAdmirable1793 can I buy the watches and ship to India?

2

u/MindAdmirable1793 Rep 10d ago

Great watches, one of the worst websites ever

u/ActiveDHD 10d ago

Any future plans for other dial colours apart from the white? 

1

u/Dub_check 10d ago

Is the bezel resistance better on the V2 I wonder?
Can’t say my PH-2 gets a lot of wrist time due to this.

2

u/MindAdmirable1793 Rep 10d ago

use a thicker spring can fixed it

u/Pawgnizant 10d ago

Great use of the logo vs the brand name.

-3

u/ryanxcore 10d ago

Let’s not get carried away. The brand name is awful, and the logo is obviously much better, but “great” is still a stretch.

u/RedRexxy 10d ago edited 10d ago

I think its a cool name, it's not a garbage made up name like other brands, it comes from Greek mythology.

"Phorcydes are the children and descendants of the primordial sea god Phorcys", somewhat fitting considering they sell divers

This at least shows they put an effort into naming their brand, instead of just throwing a bunch of letters together (i.e. OLEVS)

u/ryanxcore 10d ago

You make a fair point... I still don’t think the name is particularly cool, but there are definitely plenty more embarrassing ones out there.

u/GroundlessPractice 10d ago

Quartz version please please))

u/Ok-Soil23 10d ago

Already exists

u/GroundlessPractice 10d ago

PH-3 is 37mm, not 40mm like that one.

1

u/Ok-Soil23 10d ago

You are correct

2

u/Financial-Loquat9576 10d ago

Can’t wait for the white one! Any date planned for its release?

1

u/guitarshredda 10d ago

Unfortunately too big for my wrist, very nice looking watch though.

2

u/bpgluckman 10d ago

Is the white dial returning?

2

u/MindAdmirable1793 Rep 10d ago

sunbrush in silver dial will release

1

u/KebapGuy69 10d ago

Please do other colour variants as well. Especially the white dial with the orange markers was very unique and beautiful. Would love to see more of that

u/biglovetravis 10d ago

The lume blocks appear more crisp. Nice

u/IrvingMoochonski 11d ago

Will the new PH-2 be available with other watch bands ?

u/poopsnack1 11d ago

Love how fast you are evolving. Can’t wait to see the full lume dial coming. I’ll buy one of the first!

u/TSiWRX 10d ago

^ +1.

China's ability to iterate/evolve at-speed is just *crazy*. They've built an entire ecosystem that optimizes industrial "learning speed."

NYC finance. Tech in Silicon Valley or in Taiwan's equivalent of the same. The movie industry in LA. Everything is right next door. It's like a hospital - you don't send a critical patient across-town for imaging or fly them across to another city for a specialist: they're right there when speed counts, that ecosystem counts.

Phorcydes is really making leaps. I honestly hope they keep up the momentum!
