    My husband and I bought this one for me and the purple one for him to celebrate our first year of marriage anniversary gifts! These will be our first Zelos's (and for me my first nice watch ever, I'm glad it's a tank!) Thank you Zelos for making a smaller dial, there are indeed women out here that like watches too! We're so excited to get this in the mail!

    I ended up getting the bronze mop and frost white these just looked too good. Excited to receive mine. Thanks for the review

    Thanks for the sweet review. I was gutted that I missed the Seiko Ginza limited edition and I ordered this one on day 1.

      I’m wearing that Seiko right now and the blue mosaic portion of this dial does give some similar vibes.

    A San Martin goes for this money. This is why I love micro brands. I have the Mako with the blue meteorite dial running the 9075 & 300 M WR. Their most expensive “True GMT” at $629.00 TT&L delivered. Their customer service is awesome. Great review as always Mark. Thanks

    if Zelos would have called this a Ginza dial, they'd sell out instantly and go for double MSRP on the secondary market ;-)

    Ordered my first zelos last week. Their ordering process is so easy and smooth. The watch was shipped 3 days after order and is on its way and i hope to receive it soon. It is a meteorite dial swordfish. My first meteorite dial watch.

    Thanks for the review. I ordered the exact same one in the first hour they were available but I haven't received any notice that it has been shipped, yet I hear that others are receiving their watches. I can't wait because it looks amazing. Always room for one more blue watch.

    38mm is the perfect diameter for my 6.5" wrist. So thanks for this video!

    Just ordered the white dial and was looking for some reviews. Never bought a Zelos before mostly because all they did were homage watches. Not sure what this is a homage if but it looked so good I was fine ignoring that.
    The specs are perfect for me for an edc watch. It ticks every box for what I was looking for.
    Great review as always!

      @@AQBPlays I thought they were all a homage if something. The divers look like Subs for the most part or Aquaracers. It just seems like some if not all their designs were done by someone else.

    👏I agree about some folks being disappointed when very little options in stock were available. It was kind of funny. Usually on drop day there is always a certain group that will be so happy they scored on something that sold out. Now the scalpers buying to flip to charge two and sometimes three times the drop price are the pissers and moaners. 😡
    Having stock on base models can help the brand and folks won't have to pay through the nose to third party scalpers. Drops will always come that are more limited in higher tier models for collectors, but scalpers like to spend less and make more. 🤑 Thanks for the review!👍

    Had to go for the nebula purple,my reason for it is the yellow accents, don't like that at all, Beautiful dial but yellow 😢 I'm looking forward to my purple swordfish arriving 😎👍

    It needs a date and a GMT which are readily available from Seiko for very little extra.

    No sharp edge / hot spot on this one ? That was the problem with the swordfish, especially on the clasp.

    Got the Stone Wash since it's the most legible. As much as the mosaic MOP is nice, I could never get a watch dial that is just too busy as to affect legibility, especially this is a field watch. This type of dial needs big applied, lumed indexes like how they did it with the Aurora Ti Field.

      Agreed, the numbers should have been contrast tone/color, not a blend adjacent graded blue.

    i love the dial, but i worry that it might be a bit too feminine, especially in combination with the smaller overall size of the watch, what are your thoughts on this?

    • @StandAloneState
      @StandAloneState ปีที่แล้ว +1

      38mm is not feminine bro

    • @Murtagh653
      @Murtagh653 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@StandAloneState it depends on the style. 38mm field watches (especially the more period appropriate watches) do not look feminine, but this zelos does lean that way with the mosaic mother of pearl.

      @@Murtagh653 You know what? I get what you mean. I would personally lean toward the matte texture dial over the mosaic ones. But if the mosaics were done in a less “shiny” manner I would likely consider it. Cheers man

    Love it. Have a fair few Zelos now. My ONLY criticism is they still need more AR coating on these dazzling dials.
    I have a 7.69 inch wrist (19.6cm) - this fits me great!

    In my opinion, Zelos has too many models. Still can’t go wrong price-wise though.

  • @LambentLizard

    This was on my radar, but after seeing the thickness I had to walk away. It looks so thick for a watch of that size. At least Seiko does some tricks in order to hide the thickness

    • @Angry_Gnome
      @Angry_Gnome ปีที่แล้ว +7

      When did 12mm become super thick? Especially for a watch with 200m water resistance.
      I think you need to check your expectations at this price point.
