I’m with Johan as far as bronze is concerned. I seriously considered the orient diver in bronze, but it was too big. The size of this is ideal for me! A cool orange watch! Thanks for this video!
You're welcome. This was a gem in all the marketing emails I get and I'm glad I picked one up. The Orient Diver in bronze would be an outstanding choice.
Anything in bronze is automatically prettier in my eyes haha! I hear you on the strap but I think that the closer the holes on the strap the greater the possibility that they might tear through to one another. I have had that happen on a softer silicon strap before so it might be a reason. Then again I like great fitment! Visibility is great. The handset contrasts nicely in comparison to the dial. The patina is half of the reason one gets a bronze watch. It adds to the cool factor! I agree with you on the heavy vibration. I wouldn't use my mechanicals when using those type of equipment as well. Function over form is a practical recipe for success... Or so I once heard! I think this is the highest score you have ever given a watch... Good job Zelos! Have a great day Tim!
Agreed 100% on the strap holes being close together. Sudden impact on the strap might do it. That has not happened to me and yet it is on my mind. I won't doubt that's why Casio has gone with more distance between holes. I'll risk it! Working on a "favorites of 2023" series coming out very soon. (You'll see this watch again)
I just ordered one of these today. I plan on using it as my everyday work watch. I really look forward to seeing the patina develop. Any updates on the patina of yours?
I could really love this watch, except... the yellow 24 hr markers with the orange. This colorway is a deal breaker for me. I might go with the green dial version.
Great watch, lots of models, established longevity. If this watch is for day to day use and not for law enforcement or military use, I’d try to get T100 tubes. They’re brighter and more legible in low light. I’m not sure what type of tubes Marathon use. Can’t go wrong with Marathon. Nite Watches and Traser offer some interesting models. Let em know how it goes.
Deal breaker for me. I love Zelos, but unless you get them when they drop, the price jumps by 100 bucks and stays there. It doesn’t matter if they sit there forever, the price won’t be reduced at all. I asked for A small discount ,and was turned down. So I say, that’s fine. Let it sit there instead of selling another unit For a few bucks off. So , I’ll buy something else. Big mark against the company
The demand is too high. The secondary market is worse but that’s the function of supply and demand. The demand is high for the watches and there’s no need to reduce the price. When the demand drops, the discounts will come back.
@@Realidealgear i differ. If the demand was high, they wouldnt be sitting there. They would sell out. The watch im interested in just sits there. I asked for 5%. A whopping 20 bucks Nope. Thats fine. Let it sit there
I have the meteorite one, so solid.
Great design and execution by Zelos.

@@Realidealgear Could be...Looking forward to it! 😄
Zelos makes some of the best watches out there. I’m not quite ready for a bronze watch though. Thanks as always for the thorough review!
It's a different look do doubt. I prefer the more patina look which takes a few months. I do recommend getting one.

The patina is slow in arriving on this case.
Oooh, that's actually quite an attractive little spud. Nice job Zelos. : )
Agreed.

That’s a great option. It’s a nice sized watch. Have a great week and thank you for watching.
I,m thinking about getting a field watch with tritium lume. Marathon Navigator. What do you think?⌚👀

@@Realidealgear Now to decide on the color, black or sage green case🤔⌚👀
Looking and sounding a little bit like Kevin kostner 😅
Now, if I could collect even part of his paycheck! have a great weekend.

I don't care what it looks like or what the price is. I don't buy Chinese.
Thanks for watching!
Singapore is not Chinese.
Inbreeding runs in your family?
Lmao
Zelos is from Singapore.
He's probably whinging about it being made in China @@danceTROYdance
@@PINKFL0YD-s2h Don't tell him where 90% of luxury watches and 99.9% of what he owns is made in, then.
