I wasn't kidding when I called it a Seiko Killer. The Swordfish is up there with the Helm Vanuatu/Khuraburi as the best divers under $300USD, and no mistake. Great specs, and I dig the looks. Weird choice on the bracelet clasp. Not a fail, but an odd decision that looks like it went untested before production. Cheers, Jody

Quite surprised to see negative comments about this watch… I received My swordfish in black sand and I absolutely love it… Mine has the revised clasp so there’s no problems there either...I have Seven Seiko watches...Four of which are divers… A bunch of other divers it cost a lot more than this Zelos...Yes it has ‘modern styling’ , But I find it a nice change of pace and a departure from The usual diver choices...Unbelievably well-made and specs are Better than my Oris, Tissot, spinnaker, and many Seiko divers...

To be fair, most of the Swordfish variants are out of stock, or they're bronze. Bronze + more angles than an Aztec pyramid isn't to everyone's taste. I love the look of the black sand S-fish, but the black dial Orient Komasu is about $100 cheaper on super nice silicone.

I picked up the Zelos Great White with the beautiful blue textured dial, more of a swirl pattern rather that a wave. It's a stunning watch for the price. It stands to reason, with Seiko's pricing creeping upwards while they still have QC issues and some nasty cost cutting habits, the love affair is ending for more and more collectors. Its apparent with some of the recent videos I've seen, Seiko needs to step up their build game.

Yeah this thing is an amazing watch. Just got it today, had it sized, and its gorgeous and seems tough. Only problem is that if you want the ETA movement, the price gets just under a lot of good swiss watches with the same features. Ill spend the extra $50 on the Swiss. If the watch is trully a 300m watch, its a league up from Seikos in its price range. The thing with the bracelet being a tough squeeze to get over your hand is accurate though. You might have to squeeze and push back and forth to get it on. It takes like 5-10 seconds if it will go over so its not a deal breaker, but it will be if you just cant get it over your hand. Be wary of that.

I have the black sand bronze model. What I don't like are the hands. The minute hand in particular is too indistinct, you really have to watch when you are setting it. That's never an issue with seiko hands. Bezel action is as you said excellent. As good if not better than grand seiko. The only watch that I have that is better is my SMPc. The sapphire is obviously better than hardlex, but it is nowhere near as nice as an aftermarket DLW crystal. A DLW crystal is $70 CAD so it is a superior product. All in all, I like it, I don't know if I love it though. It might be that I'll flip it one day. I do like my own modded seiko's more.

@earthenjadis8199 5 жыл бұрын

Of course the Zelos is a Seiko killer - most well-considered microbrand dive watches for a similar price to an equivalent Seiko are. They offer sapphire (you can keep your Hardlex), better bracelets, non-misaligned bezels and indices, many have entry level Swiss movements or Miyotas that give the second hand a smoother sweep than an off-the-shelf Seiko 4R or 6R. Seiko is a darling around the WIS community but the longer I am around Seiko products, the more I think the big Japanese watch house is taking us for a ride on their cheaper watches. This has mainly been because microbrands have shown us what can be offered for $500USD and while they've cut out the middleman, they also don't have the economy of scale advantage Seiko does.

@cy4624 3 жыл бұрын

Spec doesn't matter when the overall package and design is not something people want.. they are cheaper because they are 90% of the time custum badged dh gate watches, sold direct without retailers and they don't have costs of doing business that seiko incurred like 10's of millions they spent on branding and developing in-house movement. 99% micros will be extinct in the not too distant future , never achieve iconic status or have collectibility..many of us prefer those intangible qualities over specs. If zelos ever reach that volume, they will have to establish distribution network, sell through retailers doubling its cost. If asked to develop its own movement, it will sell for 5x the price.

Be warned if you order that the dial lume will not be like what you see in this or other KZfaq reviews. Frankly, I think that’s pretty shabby of Zelos to give reviewers more vibrant models. The indices lume is very bright however. Also, I found the bezel action to be very gritty and not pleasant to use. I’m really torn here. I don’t like the watch at all but I love the box and the watch roll it comes with, lol. Ugh, I can’t really justify keeping this thing just for a wood box and a watch roll though.

Zelos isn't the first brand to use forged carbon fiber dials, this has been done by other watch brands throughout the last couple of years. But it looks good, but I don't really get why on earth they have put a white chapter ring on the carbon fiber dial, just to pump in more lume? Then I would have rather preferred a black chapter ring and more lume on the indices. And the clasp, don't get me started, that's a huge miss, but Zelos are doing good work but they do make some odd design choices which for me, takes away from the desirability.

Doesn’t mean it didn’t perform as such, just like the WR rating you speak of. And, ETA movements at a $400 price range is much better than most other micros which will typically use Seiko NH35 movements. ETA and Miyota 9015 are more expensive and are more common in $600+ watches. Please educate yourself before saying something completely fkn stupid.

The watch looked great and I was super pumped until I wound the watch a bit, set the time, and then noticed that it sounds like the rotor is basically flopping around in the case (just a horrible sound, not normal). 😕 I just emailed Zelos, and hoping they can help me. What a pain to have to return/exchange this from the U.S. My first experience here with Zelos, hoping they make this right. Jody - I also have a 7 inch wrist and anticipate I am going to have the same issues as you with the new scissor style enclosure on the clasp. I did not remove any of the wrapping since this is going back, but it seems it will be tight. I also mentioned this in the email to them. Thanks, Rich.

Another update: Elshan promptly reached out to me regarding my issues and is going above and beyond to make things right. Just super customer service. I'll update this thread once I receive my exchange.

Why would you back that Axios on Kickstarter when you can buy one of these Zelos instead?

I agree, particularly since the Axios is just another copycat design. However, If you want a Swiss Sellita movement, like the Axios, check out the Ergon Maelstrom (another Zelos sister company) for only $380 USD. Only comes in bronze at this time, though, but awesome style and value for the sheckels.

@@grogthegrolie I don't really care about the movement to be honest. I only use it to compare features and work out which one is the better value.
