  • @Conundrum191
    @Conundrum191 Год назад +19

    Only con and potentially a deal breaker on this one (the GMT only) is the lack of any minute markers. Not being able to set a GMT to the minute would drive me crazy. Otherwise it is a near perfect watch.

    • @whywecollectwatches
      @whywecollectwatches Год назад

      Agreed! I don't understand why they did that?!?! I have the Zelos Spearfish GMT and it's a beautiful watch but for some reason they left out the 1 min and 59 min markers. Very strange!

    Hey, nice video
    Great watch for the price obviously.
    The dial looks more black than I would have expected (blue) and sometimes it's thé opposite with thé bezel black due to light angle.
    How does it look in Real from your POV?
    I wouldn't call that a dive watch, the bezel doesn't fit criterias
    For me lack of minute markers is a mistake, they could have replaced the inner 24h mark by that, and have GMT function with the bezel.
    Most Watches do that, here to have 2 24h rings is overkill. It's to track 3 or even 4 timezones, what's thé point...already 95% of buyers won't use the GMT....
    But most people give an excuse because it's Zelos....
    Thickness is quite frightening Also for the small/average wrists, but ok.
    Bracelet, clasp, lume, etc. All the rest is near perfect as Always with Zelos. Also the New packaging...Congrats Zelos for a true GMT with such specs at such Price point even if it has obvious undeniable cons that are not so common on most zelos

  • @BAF605
    @BAF605 Год назад

    Good specs and good quality and at a very good price. I question the thickness though. It's early days for this movement however and there will be lots of microbrands pushing these out over the coming year. Unless you are particularly keen to have a Zelos I'd wait and see.

    Seems like they've dropped the hardening treatment they had on case & bracelet. The 2021 Mako had it. I would happily pay more for this feature.
    My almost 2year old Mako still looks fresh out of the box despite a lot of wear. I cannot say the same for any other watch I own!

    • @dennypayne
      @dennypayne Год назад +2

      The 2021 Makos were titanium, so that's why they definitely needed the hardening coating. But yes, I'd pay for it on the SS as well.

    Usage of 'true' is a huge letdown here for me. Just another extension of the evil marketing we are all subjected to. Let's try not to forget all GMT watches can be considered 'true'. I love your reviews Chris but this is a big red flag for me especially when you are the one that has harped on about the same thing before I don't see why it's being used here.
    As for the watch...well it's Zelos. Case design looks a bit less Zeloesque, which may be a welcome change but it basically becomes another generic watch. Thanks for the review but going to have to pass on another Zelos purchase. Cheers.
