This new release will sell out quickly, watches from this brand usually do, in fact, the ultra rare Tantalum case version has already sold out sadly but this is not the version I would recommend. The mother of pearl dial featured in this video is spectacular!
I have used the 'paid promotion' icon simply to show the watch was free. I never accept cash/money for my videos!

WHY I OFTEN DON'T MENTION OTHER BRANDS IN MY VIDEOS.
You may have noticed that I often don't mention the original brands that watches I am reviewing pay homage to. This is very intentional and not meant to offend you or the original brands. I lost my first channel in October 2020 which I had spent 9 months growing and invested a significant amount of money in simply because I had mentioned the original brands in some of my videos. There are people who try to use RU-vids lack of understanding when it comes to the difference between homage watches and fake watches to attack other channels and their owners and sadly I fell foul of this in 2020. This channel was also attacked recently and RU-vid deleted content simply because I had said 'subby homage' and 'Rolex homage' in two videos despite the watches in the videos being perfectly legal homage watches. Please understand that I can not afford to risk my channel so I will no longer be mentioning other brands when reviewing homage watches.

The dial had a chipped tile on it @0:45. Other than that, I'm not crazy about it. I want to love Zelos, but for some reason almost all of their watches have something that puts their pieces just outside my strike zone. I hope I can find the perfect Zelos one of these days.

@samuellovell1789 19 дней назад

It's called "tackiness"...

@TugboatBillSimpson 19 дней назад

I agree, Kevin. They get close for me and then they add a final 'touch' that just makes me cringe. Haha. Not hating on anyone who loves Zelos. Too creative for me. I'd just love to see some classic designs in some new colors, personally. No more emerald green, ocean blue, and bright orange. I want some pastels and/or some textured dials done well. Tritium in more watches too. Useful shit, please.

@grahamwallace 19 дней назад

Not really a fan of this dial. I’d go for the teal or salmon dial if I could pull off a small 37mm case size. Also, I feel there’s a mismatch between the watch and strap/buckle. For me the strap is more of a field / gada style.

I love Zelos (have a few in my collection), but I can see my wife wearing this more than myself. It looks like they’ve tried to make it more masculine with the strap, but it ends up not matching the watch. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Gary.

@benferris3252 19 дней назад

I got one and generally like Zelos watches (about a third of my collection is Zelos and my 2 most frequently worn watches are Zelos tool watches) but they definitely dropped the ball on the strap choice with this watch. Thankfully it's an easy swap which was part of their justification for it. Strap should have tapered more aggressively, possibly been a different color entirely, and had a completely different buckle that matched the watch. That said I'll just use the strap on a different watch. Lack of hacking and automatic rotor don't bother me due to the style of watch, though a micro rotor would be pretty cool. Lume will be missed but again, style of watch doesn't demand lume. Overall it feels like a step down from the v1 but the dial makes up for it

@KC-bv9kf 19 дней назад

I agree with you. I’m ordered a Delug dress strap for it and I’m gonna to use that Horween strap on my Eagle 2. That Eagle 2 strap is perfect for my Marathon Navigator steel. That’s how I justify my collection to the wife, lol

@chrisdavis8399 19 дней назад

Nice review Gary. I love Zelos but for me, these new designs are a rare miss from them.- and I’m a sucker for sub dials. Overly polished case, indices/hands that are hard to make out, and too much of the same design on the dial with little contrast to break up monotony. But as always to each his own. Cheers!

@ocb05 19 дней назад

Rare miss for you. I think it is a refreshing change. It is about damn time for Zelos to have a proper classy shiny dressy watch.

@gilbertoflores7397 19 дней назад

I feel like eveyone only reviews Zelos when they give out free ones to the reviewer all at once, makes me not interested in them. They do interesting things, but the way they do their marketing is a bit annoying.

@ilikewatches 19 дней назад

They have sent me watches to review outside of the launch period. The same thing happens with almost all brands...Seiko launches a new watch, people make content on it. Phoibos launches a new watch people make content in it. People are interested in new releases and brands want them to be seen by watch enthusiasts.

@gilbertoflores7397 19 дней назад

@@ilikewatches I just meant, when evey channel makes the same review on the same watch for like a week straight on my feed, I feel like I shouldn't care, because it's too much of an ad. Maybe it's just me. I'll watch your review on it, but I know I won't be buying it.

@CanadianBeachcomber 19 дней назад

Non-hacking. That’s not the best decision Zelos has made. You can always upgrade the strap because this one looks inappropriate for the style of watch but the movement stops me from even looking at their website.

@waffle911 19 дней назад

We got spoiled by hacking movements. Hacking didn't used to be the standard. And for a movement that's going to gain or lose seconds every day in a non-military, dressy time piece, not only is down-to-the-second accuracy when setting not necessary, it isn't going to hold up for long. **Pouts in 7S26 nostalgia**

@baandoptager 19 дней назад

So sick of Zelos. Their overly shiny almost plastic like indices just don't do it for me. They all look so cheap. Also, judged by the market, many people apparently don't keep their Zelos, cuz they're all over 2nd hand markets. I'm good!

@lammyjammer6670 19 дней назад

Have you personally handled a Zelos before? I ask because in hand they are absolutely amazing pieces. This particular watch is on the dressier side and polishing is a staple of the style. This design is actually an exception compared to the typical stuff they put out. The reason they're on the second hand market a lot is because they're hard to get your hands on and are ripe for flippers to hunt the most limited pieces to resell them. Not because people don't like or want them. Zelos also has a vibrant trading community and out of all microbrands out there I'm willing to bet they're one of the few people collect like Pokemon cards 😂 It's not uncommon for Zelos owners to have more than one of them. It's also not uncommon for people to search for a particular release because they are very limited. Zelos as a brand is constantly evolving. They never release the same watches twice and even reissues are in different colorways, finishes and materials to previous versions of the same models. Their designs run the entire gamut of watchmaking at this point.

@mstevens113 19 дней назад

I like it but can't be bothered playing the game of trying to jump in the second they launch before they sell out. As soon as buying becomes a chore I lose interest.

@emeenattoor 18 дней назад

Well as the video stated it's already been launched and is available. There was no jumping in the second it launched.

@AnthonyLauder 18 дней назад

That doesn't happen so much with Zelos releases anymore. Precisely because they were all selling out too quickly, Zelos started producing larger batches. Meaning that with most releases, there are still plenty left even several days after launch.

@AlexanderB. 19 дней назад

Well, I really do like Zelos. But this watch is perhaps a bit too dressy for me to justify the spending of the money asked. There are simply too few occasions for me to wear this watch. Besides, I'm not sure whether I like that "semi-sterile" look and whether the strap choices suit the watch, which is an easy fix of course.

@robertmckinlay7242 18 дней назад

Very dressy, like a Fears watch.
