    The G100 is a very interesting movement. Design is based on the miyota 9015, re-enginered with many improvements, but is also designed to be swappable with the eta 2824.

    That copper dial one does look very nice. The 'Burnt Orange' looks pretty cool based on the pictures too. Having a high power reserve is great. It definitely has some similarly to the Miyota 9015.

    Waiting with bells on… It will be my eighth purchase from Zelos… Five remain in my collection… I’ve never been disappointed… Also of note, I had an issue with the bracelet, set an email… And a new brace it was shipped out within 48 hours… They have great customer service as well!

    @arryc3947 2 года назад +5

    Definitely right to call out the 1 year warranty if that movement is their first 'entry level' effort - if it's the first time you've seen it then it's not likely to have been in a lot of watches yet, for any reasonable length of service. Would probably make me wait until it's more proven before I jumped in.

    At $1000 Aussie, there are a lot of decisions to make given the available alternatives. The copper dial is a bit special, the case looks nice, and the movement is pretty, but I won't be worried that they sell out before I'm ready to buy. Great unboxing. The box is a useful addition.

  • @mikep5478
    @mikep5478 2 года назад

    Something to be considered when it comes to longevity of the lume. The size of markers and narrower hands only allow so much lume to be applied no matter how much it gets layered on. It still will probably hang with most watches, but just like some SEIKO models the design is going to have some effect on the lume strength. It's good to hear you had no issue with stuck screws. A few other reviewers complained about a few that were problematic. I sized a few ZELOS recently and 1.2mm driver worked like a charm

    Another superb review. I do so enjoy your honesty. Even though they gave you a watch. You stay true to your Principles and preferences in a watch.
    Its a nice looking set, I do like the copper dail. I would like a choice of which bezel. I would prefer a Diver Bezel, Unidirectional instead. Thats just me. Id also prefer numerical I indices. Again my preference.
    Great Job.

    Two beautiful watches, love those dials. I see that Shane at Relative Time and Dave at Just the Watch, both had significant difficulty resizing the bracelet. Maybe you were looking lucky or they were unlucky. Nice movement but not really beautiful, it looks like a Miyota to me, and I'd prefer a nice engraved closed caseback personally. Excellent review.

    I like the exhibit caseback and feel it is an attractive dial but prefer the 10 minute intervals on the bezel instead of 0 to12.

    I wanted a forged carbon Zelos for long enough and when I eventually got my hands on the titanium swordfish in forged carbon I don't like it anywhere near as much as I thought I would. In reviews and on camera it looks fantastic but in the flesh every time I look at it I keep thinking there are smears on the crystal and it needs a wipe clean.

      I always get torn whether to like forged carbon or not. I've seen it in high gloss with dark forged carbon and it looks great. I've seen it on the 'waterfall' center panel of an Aston Martin, thought it looked pretty bad. And here the tone just seems too bright and too swirly. It looks like liquid silver paint.
      I prefer it a little bit darker and more of a 'chopped' forged carbon, like it's Opal/Crystals or something, closer to Meteorite dials than these smudges...

      You are getting less value with each progressive Zelos release and it seems that QC declines with each release. I love my two Zelos watches but the brand is pushing out a bit too hard and the cost of creating a new watch every few months is starting to show in design and quality. If you look at the marco in this video you will see flaws on the hands which is not great for a $700 watch. The finishing is acceptable but not great for the price. The bracelets are good but the clasps have issues. My titanium swordfish has the same clasp and each month it gets harder to snap shut. Now I have to depress the releases to get it to close smoothly, not a major issue but signals a design flaw.

    Nice looking watch. Great video Jody. Given you have the pressure tank I would like to see some underwater shots of ‘Diver’s’ and ‘Dive Style’ watches just to see what their visibility is like underwater. When you are underwater the changes in the light refraction can cause some crystals to completely white out with reflection. A good anti-reflective coating should stop or reduce that.

    Damn. Yeah. I'm pretty impressed. I like that copper dial. Just don't have the budget for another watch right now. It's tempting and impressive. Damn. Why did they have to do one way winding though? 🤪 You know.... those aren't much more expensive, wholesale than the Sellita.....

      Oops. I stand corrected..... These movements are priced (wholesale) between a PT5000 and a Sellita SW200..... And maybe closer towards the PT5000 side....

    I just received mine today. Nice watch. I have the copper dial, really beautiful. But the movement only ok. Plus 10 seconds in four positions,.2 beat error. 280 amplitude. Not real impressive. Nice. 28.8 but seiko NH performance.
