I actually received my SF 42 yesterday and couldn't be more pleased beautiful finishing, amazing bracelet and very comfy, sapphire bezel and crystal for 300 dollars, and it fells so amazing that I'll be able to hand it down to my children one day 😊
I think I have this as a surprise for Father's Day, I have owned like 5 zelos all extremely well made but somehow always get used in trades since everyone seems to enjoy them. The lume and build quality shows that most other companies are mailing it in since zelos is a one man run machine. Great review as always.
I like the chunky and funky, glad they slimmed it down though. I have had QC issues on a few Zelos watches so far but they always rectify them. I’ll probably try this one as well.
I have to say I love everything about this watch. My Seiko SKA371 weighs in at 210gm after sizing for my wrist and I can happily wear it all day and I haven't seen the inside of a gym for years...if ever come to think of it. Great channel by the way.
I picked up my first zelos a while ago. The swordfish 40mm. Very impressed with the build quality all round and the lume is the best I've ever experienced.
Before the video started I thought 'I'm not going to like this' and after it was finished I was immediately thinking 'I would love one'. The case is so spectacularly unusual and the fumee orange dial is fantastic. It's not the first Zelos watch I've liked and I'm now thinking I really must add one to my collection. Good video 👍
I have the Zelos Swordfish & the attention to detail is fantastic & the lume is unbelievable.😎👍🏼 I’d certainly add this Hammerhead to the list! That orange sunburst is just 🤤
I've fallen in love with this brand ZELOS !!! ZELOS i am not a reviewer but hey please send me one HAMMERHEAD 3 WITH A CRAZY DIAL PLEASE!!!! Please continue making such awesome watches with such brilliant dials
This watch looks amazing. My favorite watch is also a heavy one (orient triton with angus j-louis from strapcode) and is really comfortable to wear. So I wouldn't mind the weight.
I'm a big seiko design and dial fan but last couple months I tried to find little bit more affordable and good looking but not imitate the seiko or other big brands and none of them catch my attention. Then I saw the zelos ad on Facebook with hh3 photo. I checked the website and the collection. Wish I knew them before so I could get this orange or mop dial. So I ended up getting the white dial which is quite unique design. Now let's see how long it'll take to delivered?
This sold out in less than five minutes. There was probably only some of the batch available, the rest will go to Zelos AD’s. Luckily I managed to get one. Any one who wants to get one keep an eye out on Zelos AD sites as they will be getting them in at a later date (after launch price ends) but at full price. You may be sure the eBay flippers will have most of the launch batch only to sell them later at higher than the RR of $449 to make their killing.
What do you mean 18/20 years old my friend dad of 70 loved the watch and he's planning on buying one. I think I sparked a watch collecting flame in him and well soon his son will follow.
I have the previous version. It's a great watch, but I do like a watch with heft, so it suits me. The only downside I have for Zelos (and I have three by them) is that they didn't (or haven't) offer anything with day-date and hi-beat. I have more NH35s than I have fingers and toes. Ditto for date-onlys. When they can make a day-date that's hi-beat I'll be back.
Awsome review Peter! I love this watch! If I didn’t already have a ginormous Doxa Sub 6000t I would seriously look into this Zelos I would love to see your opinion of the Doxa Sub watches. Well done buddy.👍
This solves the only issue I had with my HH2....she was a touch too thicc. But I dunno, that gave it a quirky appeal. I’m a little tool watch heavy in the box lately so I’ll probably not lose any sleep if I don’t manage to get one....I’ll still try though 👍🏼. Great review Peter!
Ha, the prior version was already too small for me, so I'm passing on this one. I like a watch I can feel on the wrist though. Actually looking to sell my prior buy, since I never wore it after sizing. I love their 3000m Abyss, and have two, plus four others from Zelos. Top notch Micro. Great review as always!
@@johnanth Calm down, lol. Geez, u think a 44 is shocking? How bizarre. I could likewise ask how tiny is yours that you'd think it's too big, lol, and I often see people try on a 44 or 48 and claim it's massive or too large, yet it looks great on them, while, unfortunately, a 38 or whatever looks just silly, like they are wearing a kid's watch. In any case, that anyone thinks a certain wrist size comports with an assigned case size is utterly ridiculous. It's preference, and entirely subjective, how big or small or heavy or light or design or style of watch is worn. For the record, it's 7.5 inches, for which 44 to 46 mm is recommended (not that it matters), but I can be happy with a decent 42mm (which is larger than how the Hammerhead wears, by the way, due to the design -- almost wears like a 40mm, in fact ) up to a 50mm plus. Larger watches remain a popular trend, from affordables to million dollar brands. Not sure how people aren't aware of that, unless they just have no awareness of the watch industry. The watch there would look good on Pete's wrist, I'm quite sure, but I respect his preference, since he's the one wearing it, or, not wearing it in this case. I also don't feel that it's a young man's watch, but, again, I respect Peter's preference.
@@135ipocketrocket2 agree totally, I’m 52 6’3” and 8” wrists and I’ll happily wear anything from my 38mm field watch to my 55mm Mudmaster, and anything in between. It’s all relative, like you said.
@@ash9058 Thanks Ash. I'm always amazed that, if I comment on wearing something larger than a 42mm in some watch discussion, I get some outrageous comment, asking if I'm a giant or weigh 500 lbs or which demands "justification" to wear a large watch. Very odd. It's just a style choice, lol, and not an unusual one. There are days I'll pick a 40mm, other times I'll pick one of my many larger cased watches. Overall, I mostly own stuff over 42mm. Just a preference. Appreciate your comment. 👍
It'll feel heavy for a period of time, but wear it long enough and eventually you will get used to it and It'll feel normal. That bracelet is a monster. I think if you were to put on a nice tropic strap you would probably enjoy it more Pete?
I’m a proper weakling no mistake and have loads of watches of all sorts of sizes, weights & materials (inc a Hammerhead 2 bronze) and hand on heart I have never once been aware of the weight of a watch on my wrist for more than maybe 10 seconds after putting one on. It’s an absolute chuffin mystery to me why pretty much EVERY single reviewer is always banging on about the weights of watches!
I can’t comprehend it either...i’ll put a watch on and think ‘wow, that’s got a bit of weight’ then I go about my day and won’t give it another thought. People seem a little delicate.
G'day Pete! When I got the Zelos newsletter annoucing the new Hammerhead I hit the delete button. You made me realize it was a bit too hasty! Cracking colour combination in Zelos's design language. Cheers Mate!
Thanks for sharing Alex...I've done that before too..hit the delete button on email and then weeks later see the watch and say hey that's not too bad..hahaha
Dear Peter, thank you kindly for your outstanding review. I have the Zelos Swordfish and it is absolutely amazing. The quality, fit and finish are just superb. When I received the newsletter from Zelos regarding the release of their new Hammerhead I was immediately curious. Your review is so appreciated mate. I don't mind slightly heavier watches thus giving this one some thought. I do have to say that the orange is gorgeous....I'm a sucker for orange dials. Thank you again Peter, have a great day, and all the best. Cheers 👏👍🙏
Great review Pete , have to admit to being a bit of a Zelos fanboy having bought 6 in the past year (although only 2 have stayed in the collection) , I really love how the HH3 looks and that orange dial looks fantastic (first time Zelos have done a orange dial i believe) but with 6.2 inch wrists i'm definitely not strong enough lol
I got the Bronze HH II Midnight Blue. And it's just a beauty! Zelos really dominate in the lume area with microbrands. If you want a more subtle expression, it's probably not for you. Their dials are always colourful, you can even get a piece from space, meteorite gray/black. Now the NH35 is not for everyone. Some might consider it 'crude'. It's a Belgian Brewery horse, not an Arabic race horse, but it gets the job done. But I must say something, that I don't feel with other watches at this price point(HH II was retailing at around $ 449 in early 2020). It craves water! It has confidence in its build and construction. This is not a timid diver! Also, the sapphire is slightly more curved on its older brother so if you smack it into something by accident, the shock waves will travel into the bezel. Sapphire is more or less scratch proof, but definitely not shatter proof. 2 weeks ago, I accidentally smacked it into a radiator made of cast iron with a fair amount of kinetic force - the radiator lost😂. Like Peter says, it's good, chunky, solid, a dial design choice for everyone, good QC. My only shade would be the bezel sound. It sounds to "cheap"/"plastique"? But that is found in orher brands as well, and you really have to get up to luxury watch divers before the sound becomes harmonic, revealing another level of workmanship and expertise. Although I would have to take a mortgage to own a Rolex Sea-Dweller, the sound on that bezel....it's a symphony! 🎵🎶And I'm not even a Rolex fan! 😂
Love me a heavy watch if it matches the whole design. The bracelet alone screams Hammerhead. The "small" lug-to-lug even makes it petite in comparison to a Steinhart Triton for example. Joining in with many other comments: dat color!!
Zelos and Helm t is one of the brands that while they have specifications and unique designs, they never gave me the feeling: I want this watch. Very thick, very heavy with a bracelet like handcuffs and overall a macho look i think as you mentioned is for the new generation lol 🤣🤣
Zelos are awesome, their watches are finished second to none in this price range, but i wish they'd step it up with some etas or seletas. Perhaps even invest in their own workhorse in the future, i mean they are racking in crazy profits so its not undoable.
Very informative, thanks for reviewing and comparing the size to your Samurai. I have the orange Samurai and love it, but this Zelos is too chunky for me. Cheers!
I am waiting to pull the trigger on the ice blue version when it releases as am keeping my orange choice for the Helm Khuraburi where I am on the waiting list. Nice samurai though
Nice review. I just ordered the green face. Oh ya you do need to workout if you think 200 grams is heavy. I have a 7 inch wrist as well lol. Keep up the good work✌🏾
Did everyone that watch this video put an order for the watch. I was stuck in a meeting and log in Zelos website 4 minutes after it ordering began and the orange colour way was already sold out....bullocks.
Hi Peter great video. What about that watch that you didn't like. I personally think it looked cooler and better than plain orange Seiko. I am 57. I actually thought the color look cool and you can tell it's very well built. And for $349 it beats any Seiko for that money. Although I just got the white dial King Samurai for only $350 brand new. And that is my favorite watch. I think that you have already done a video on it. What did you think of that white Samurai. Sorry I threw so many questions at you. Ray
Hey Ray, the Zelos is an amazing build and overall amazing watch. Personally I like a lighter experience, so as I said at 18 or 20 years old, this thing would have easily been on my wrist as a daily..:) The white dial Samurai you got there was a bargain, well done. I liked the watch, I actually reviewed it several months back. What bugged me was the quality control..the one I reviewed had a misaligned bezel and misaligned chapter ring..pretty slack for the money outlaid Apart form that, a nice offering 👍
@@PeterKotsa thank you Peter for responding so quickly. I know about the Seiko quality control. I got very lucky with my white dial seiko, everything matches up perfectly even the crown screws out nicely and screws back in nicely. Tomorrow I am receiving two metal strapcode hexagon bracelets for it. One is Silver the other is black whichever one looks the best I'm going to keep. I thought the metal black one might look great because I did like the black color of the rubber band that came on it. What do you think?
@@PeterKotsa Thanks, Peter. They sure are pretty. Their site shows they're sold out of most everything, though. Gonna have to wait for more to be made, I reckon.
Looks well made and good value... I've looked at Zelos a few times, but something has always put me off & I've not been able to put my finger on why - but you've nailed it. I'm 50, not 20! A cool young man's watch, too blingy and brash for us more sophisticated (🤣 = old) blokes!! Wish I had that clasp on my Aquis tho... Nice watch, wish I was young enough to carry one off. Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻
52 years old and I’m seriously looking at this watch now, but I am 6’3” and have an 8” wrist. I wear my yellowfin baby tuna on a Strapcode endmill bracelet so I don’t think the size or heft of the hammerhead will be an issue.That orange colour puts a big smile on my face.
@@stevefox8605 I am considering buying this Zelos, but import taxes are holding me back. I live in Europe, AFAIK Zelos are shipping from Asia, so the price would rise considerably when taxes are added..
Ist is similar to some watches from Phoibos or like the Dumas from Spinnaker........very chunky...... I think Long Island watches are using also similar cases.
Seems like Zelos finally understood that they can't be $500-$700 price area anymore. Using NH35s surely ruining their name they started with Axios. Why can't they go for Miyoya and even sells at $400-$500?
I had the HH2 and I only have a 6.5 wrist - I don't really get the "oh that watch is to heavy" I guess because I'm not a pencil pusher I don't notice it 😂😂
That color is fantastic. It's like a Gibson sunburst guitar. The case and bracelet is awesome too.
What about the pickups, any good? 😄
Pro tip: you can watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Merrick Christian Yup, have been watching on flixzone for months myself :D
The case and bracelet have a ton of presence and the dial though orange still has mystery because of the kind of orange they used. Love it.
This is in my wheel house, I have quite large wrists so think this would sit really well. The colors are quite striking
I actually received my SF 42 yesterday and couldn't be more pleased beautiful finishing, amazing bracelet and very comfy, sapphire bezel and crystal for 300 dollars, and it fells so amazing that I'll be able to hand it down to my children one day 😊
Just saw this ad by Zelos on Facebook..."Tough as guts and strong enough to hammer nails into wood." - Peter Kotsa, PK Watch Reviews.
Great job!
Me too, loving Orange watches. This Zelos with the angled case and thick bezel just looked amazing. Nice one Zelos.

See you at the gym Peter.
Nice watch love the colour ways. Too big for me and heavy. Great unit though.
Thanks again mate.
I have the black one and it is now part of my permanent rotation. I got in during the early bird discount. - Good review.
I picked up my first zelos a while ago. The swordfish 40mm. Very impressed with the build quality all round and the lume is the best I've ever experienced.
It's cool to be strong and wear heavy watches but there's nothing like having a titanium watch that you completely forget is on your wrist.
There is something cool about that too! Titanium watches are on point!
True.
Before the video started I thought 'I'm not going to like this' and after it was finished I was immediately thinking 'I would love one'.

I absolutely love my MOP Hammerhead 3☺️ It's my favourite beater.
I ordered the orange one. Got my order in before they sold out in about 10 minutes.
WOW..I cannot believe these sold out so quickly.
@@PeterKotsa I think the orange may be a first for Zelos, I have 4 Zelos watches, but this one stood out
The orange dial is a catch eyes usually Zelos Watches are sold out in less than one hour ., one of the best micro brand

The colour combinations reminds me of the vintage SEIKOS featured last week.

You would probably love this then..👍

This review came just in time , I'm ordering one tomorrow !
Hopefully they do the same specs, but in titanium. Loved Zelos’ titanium Swordfish!

@@TalkingtoGod222 Amazing.
Nice watch! Would have to try it before considering buying which is the prob. Great review legend.
Yeah thats a big complaint from many bro
Product unavailability
Love it! Great review! I hope they make a bronze version with the same slimmed down specs.

Me too! Love it so much..

What I realized is, sizing the bracelet is crucial how heavy the watch feels on wrist. You can wear 300gr watch easily with perfect fit.
Planned to buy the orange one. But this afternoon decided to order the meteorite edition.
I'm not completely sure but hasn't this drop been the 1st to not almost immediately sell out? I did barely get an orange one before it sold out.
New intro? Eithway the watch is epic.

Did everyone that watch this video put an order for the watch. I was stuck in a meeting and log in Zelos website 4 minutes after it ordering began and the orange colour way was already sold out....bullocks.
Beautiful colour, but a little bit too big for me 👍🏻
IT'S GORGEOUS!!!!!
Zelos makes some cool watches ⌚ 😎
Hi Peter great video. What about that watch that you didn't like. I personally think it looked cooler and better than plain orange Seiko. I am 57. I actually thought the color look cool and you can tell it's very well built. And for $349 it beats any Seiko for that money. Although I just got the white dial King Samurai for only $350 brand new. And that is my favorite watch. I think that you have already done a video on it. What did you think of that white Samurai. Sorry I threw so many questions at you. Ray
Hey Ray, the Zelos is an amazing build and overall amazing watch. Personally I like a lighter experience, so as I said at 18 or 20 years old, this thing would have easily been on my wrist as a daily..:)
The white dial Samurai you got there was a bargain, well done.
I liked the watch, I actually reviewed it several months back. What bugged me was the quality control..the one I reviewed had a misaligned bezel and misaligned chapter ring..pretty slack for the money outlaid
Apart form that, a nice offering 👍
@@PeterKotsa thank you Peter for responding so quickly. I know about the Seiko quality control. I got very lucky with my white dial seiko, everything matches up perfectly even the crown screws out nicely and screws back in nicely. Tomorrow I am receiving two metal strapcode hexagon bracelets for it. One is Silver the other is black whichever one looks the best I'm going to keep. I thought the metal black one might look great because I did like the black color of the rubber band that came on it. What do you think?
Is it wearable on 6.5 inch wrist?
Possibly, but pretty chunky and a tad on the heavy side
This will be the first colour to sell out I think
Very nice looking piece. Where are the Zelos watches made?
Zelos is based in Singapore, so I am assuming that's where they are also made
Cheers
@@PeterKotsa Thanks, Peter. They sure are pretty. Their site shows they're sold out of most everything, though. Gonna have to wait for more to be made, I reckon.
@@jimf3932 not sure if they make more once they are sold out. the model reviewed here said it was limited to 300 pieces in each colour way
Cheers
Looks well made and good value... I've looked at Zelos a few times, but something has always put me off & I've not been able to put my finger on why - but you've nailed it. I'm 50, not 20! A cool young man's watch, too blingy and brash for us more sophisticated (🤣 = old) blokes!! Wish I had that clasp on my Aquis tho...
Nice watch, wish I was young enough to carry one off.
Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻
I will be 47 years old this year, and that would not stop me from buying this terrific watch.
52 years old and I’m seriously looking at this watch now, but I am 6’3” and have an 8” wrist.
I wear my yellowfin baby tuna on a Strapcode endmill bracelet so I don’t think the size or heft of the hammerhead will be an issue.That orange colour puts a big smile on my face.
@@ash9058 Cool, I'm 5'7" & not that confident/outgoing. Wear it in good health mate Thanks for your comment 👍🏻
@@e28forever30 Go for it, sweet watch 👍🏻

I am considering buying this Zelos, but import taxes are holding me back.
I live in Europe, AFAIK Zelos are shipping from Asia, so the price would rise considerably when taxes are added..
Ist is similar to some watches from Phoibos or like the Dumas from Spinnaker........very chunky...... I think Long Island watches are using also similar cases.
Seems like Zelos finally understood that they can't be $500-$700 price area anymore. Using NH35s surely ruining their name they started with Axios. Why can't they go for Miyoya and even sells at $400-$500?
I had the HH2 and I only have a 6.5 wrist - I don't really get the "oh that watch is to heavy" I guess because I'm not a pencil pusher I don't notice it 😂😂
Beautifull watch
Beast ..killer dial... I likey...
Wow🤩
I wear a Seiko Samurai all the time, so this won't be much heavier.
Hi, why are the zealous company sending the v3 watches in 4 weeks, and why do they call the watches "special launch". Thanks
Sadly, this dial color is discontinued. I've contacted Zelos and encouraged them to reistock this model.
Some people have bought 4 i heard. So they will be on eBay ect soon
6105 crossed well with a super kontiki with a splash of 70s chunky colour I like it it's partially original chunky diver number 500 and 2nd hahahaha
The NH 35 KILL'S IT
