What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Vario Futurist

The Vario Futurist is widely praised for its fun, retro-futuristic design and unique faceted sapphire crystal, offering significant visual intrigue at an affordable price. Owners note its ability to catch the light beautifully. One reviewer flags that the recessed crown can be difficult to operate, and the 39mm case offers more wrist presence than expected.

From video reviewers

The faceted sapphire crystal and distinctive case finishing are praised. The crown placement and sharp case edges are noted as drawbacks. Reviewers disagreed on the watch's overall value proposition.

Zelos Hammerhead 43 Field

The Zelos Hammerhead 43 Field is praised for its unique bronze case patina potential, masculine angular design, and fantastic lume. Owners also highlight the lovely Mosaic Ember and purple agate dials. However, some owners feel the 43mm case wears large, suited for wrists 7.5 inches and up, and a reviewer notes its substantial 17mm thickness. The rubber strap is disliked for making the watch feel top-heavy, and the date window is considered tiny and hard to see. Some owners express disappointment with the NH movement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Hammerhead 43 Field well for its distinctive design and dial appeal at its price point.
