What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403

The Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 is praised for its 120-hour power reserve and anti-magnetic properties, with reviewers noting its simplified design and vibrant blue dial. Owners highlight the smooth winding feel of the in-house Calibre 403 movement, which features twin barrels. However, some owners report minor time-setting issues, and the 50-meter water resistance is considered underwhelming by one reviewer, who also notes the deer leather strap's clasp scratches easily. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Calibre 403 highly for its impressive power reserve and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The 5-day power reserve of the new in-house Calibre 403 movement is a key strength. Reviewers noted the comfortable H-link bracelet and vibrant dial color options.

Zelos Comet 39

Owners widely praise the Zelos Comet 39 for its wearable 39mm size, thin profile under 10mm thanks to its manual-wind Sellita SW215 movement, and its captivating dial with a deep starburst effect. The winding action is described as a joy, and the watch is considered a stunner for its price, blending modern and vintage aesthetics. Some owners note frustration with Zelos's limited production runs leading to quick sell-outs. One owner found the logo childlike, while another experienced strap-rubbing issues with the short lugs, which were resolved with a Milanese bracelet. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Comet 39 highly for its excellent value and striking dial design.
