Best GMT of 2022 - Zelos Spearfish GMT Meteorite Dial

[@RelativeTime]

Love the subtle blue of the hands and indices on this one!

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

I have been sub'd for a while, but almost never comment. I just wanted to let you know I really enjoy your channel. Very informative and your B-role footage is outstanding. As someone that is (hopefully) done travelling for a living, the GMT is a complication I am not particularly interested in. But this watch really knocks it out of the park.

[@JusttheWatch]

Thanks!

[@mikesheehan5946]

Such a good looking watch. Best I've seen in a while. Great review, shots and coverage of it as well

[@MareksMatisons]

I did, frankly, stop the video and just watch at the beautiful and balanced color choice. This Zelos is stealing my heart with this gorgeous combination of grey-blue-white. Lovely meteorite dial and the rest of the colors - just pure enjoyment. TY for showing this gorgeous timepiece!

[@timetowatch_francois]

What a great looking watch! 😍👍🏻 Happy for you that Zelos was generous enough to give this one for the review. Thanks for sharing!

[@Camushura]

Always a pleasure to see that Opinel on your videos 😉 By the way : great review, like always 👍

[@69fastfurious]

Ahh do you like Opinel knife’s @Camushura ? If you were near I’ll sent you a few maybe trade for cool watch much cheaper then in Europe Opinel are iconic pocket knives 🍴😉all the Best do like that Zelos Meteorite dial my only concern is the maybe too grey dial some are more visible if we can see it in plain view câmaras 📷 always make dials look better 😉, have myself the new Seiko Alpinist “European limited edition “ the minute track is hard to see it’s a beautiful watch very good calibre and accurate but that grey they should had bit better minute a bit more visible my opinion. @justthewatch what’s your thoughts about the visibility on this meteorite dial ?

[@black79montecarlo123]

I've got the blue meteorite Mako V3 GMT and the vintage black Hammerhead V3, both are amazing!

[@whywecollectwatches]

I was lucky and was able to purchase one this morning. The remaining sold out in less than 3 mins. Looking forward to reviewing this watch!

[@shotbythebeard]

How do you like it?

[@PixlPutterMan]

Looks nice, but I still have no use for a caller GMT, Im really excited to see what gets released next year now that Miyota has their new traveler GMT available. Im already looking at the new Traska and Im sure Zelos will drop some new models with this movement.

[@ryanforsyth4226]

4:44. I am Groot!! Love the video. Love the watch. You always do such a good job with your explanations

[@megasoid]

Beautiful looking watch, thank you.

[@ivanyudaji]

hihi! so I just got the watch, the best way to screw in the pin is to screw in counterclockwise till you feel the click then start screwing down the pin. Works like charm for me since I resized mine a couple of times to dial down the size! :)

[@mchoch4576]

Hello , sir , I maybe late to the party, but does the watch have a screw down crown, Thank you for your videos they really show the pluses and minus of the watch. All the best

[@morethanawatch-piucheunoro3364]

Your camera is so good that make the watch look better than in reality, incredible, love this channel, love you, see you at the next release!

[@ijrm37]

Great watch but going to sit this one out. The lack of a fixed 24 hour markings on the bezel is a deal killer for me. I think the next version with the 24 hour dial, a sophisticated rehaute to incorporate said 24 hour dial, and keep everything else the same would be the ultimate GMT watch.

[@bestboy897]

great review and what an incredible watch

[@popomomo12]

I'm still sitting back wanting to go ahead and grab one. Frost is about all that's left but I do love it

[@eram1004]

Just started seeing your videos. Good job. Like how you review the pieces. This watch is a little higher cost and Zelos never seems to have enough product available.

[@morethanawatch-piucheunoro3364]

Thank you so much for making outdoor under strong sunlight footages

[@liolp808]

That's a beautiful manta ray samurai!

[@morethanawatch-piucheunoro3364]

@@liolp808 Thank you so much, yes I think it's the best blue dials on the planet watches offer now, in some light conditions the mantas seem to swim in the water as a 3d effect or as an hologram

[@JamesAlexander14]

Nice looking watch, but what is its unique selling point? Why would I choose this over any other GMT watch?

[@TheLumeRoom]

You made me want this colorway! Excellent video

[@jazzman5598]

Fine review as always Dave. Thanks

[@ozziebrito4527]

Love you review Dave. I am struggling here. I have also been watching the Jack Mason GMT a traveler GMT. That looks good. Wish they would let you review it

[@westonraske8152]

Excellent review of a beautiful, functional watch. I have a Breitling GMT with a 24 click bezel but I live in one of those 30 min offset time zones so it isn’t useful to me. I am a little jealous of that bezel!

[@CyberSammael]

I picked up the original Swordfish in the forged carbon, and I utterly love it. I think that I prefer that release to be honest, as it comes across as a bit more dressy, plus I really like the different choice of movement. That said, the new clasp looks a real upgrade as the original one has a habit of sticking if you dont angle it just right, and I love the new rotor.... I am going to need to buy another Zelos, arent I......

[@khronokraze]

I like the bumblebee color. However, Zelos should have made the numbers black on the yellow half... Like what they did on the meteorite with blue/white bezel. With the way they can apply and make lume these days, should be able to also transverse the lume play on the bezel even with the black/yellow color combo. I believe the aventurine will sell first.. seems the more popular or exotic dials. Nice new offering.. However, I'm not going to even try to butt heads and bite arms to get one when the flood gates open for sale on these. Do you notice that Zelos currently has like 3 different microadjust systems right now? Curious if they'll settle on one design for various models moving forward at some point?

[@max.loves.watches]

Totally agree regarding the colors of the numbers on the bumblebee. A real miss IMO.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Zelos are going to have to register as a lottery soon! Fantastic watch, I don't think the meteorite will last more than an hour

[@nikc1313]

i doubt it'll last more than a minute based on past launches.

[@michaelj8793]

If not minutes I haven't been getting notifications for your content I'm heading to your channel now Thanks my friend 👍

[@StrikeWarlock]

It sold out within 2 minutes with their Blacktip series earlier, followed by Black and Crimson Red.

[@michaelj8793]

@@StrikeWarlock No worries Thanks for sharing my friend

[@carllange3950]

I fell a little behind on my KZbin viewing and missed out on any chance of getting the Aventurine or Meteorite versions. I decided to buy the Frost version. It is my first Zelos and the most expensive watch I have purchased for myself. I have GMTs from Glycine, Orient Star, Citizen, Timex and Seiko. The traveler versus caller movement does not really matter that much to me. If I travel more than one time-zone away, I would probably also take one of my Casio Square or AE-xxxx World Time watches.

[@michaelj8793]

I'm going to pass on this hype train Too many others are also coming out Best to let the dust settle behind the hype train Thanks for another fantastic review my friend 👍

[@whywecollectwatches]

That meteorite dial is both beautiful and unique. I said I was not going to buy another watch for some time but this one is going to be tough to pass up!

[@Eric_Nielsen]

This dial version did sell out. I'm really looking forward to Zelos putting a Myota traveller GMT movement in their watches and I will get one.

[@RussKnize]

There is an issue with the screw pins on these, but i did find the trick after fiddling with it for a while. I don't think it has anything to do with Loctite. The problem is the pins all seem to want to cross thread when being reinstalled. The trick is to carefully turn the screw pin backwards while applying light pressure. If you are very careful, you will notice two clicks instead of the usual one. If you stop between the two clicks, the pin will screw right in with minimal effort. It seems like the links where threaded twice or the threads were chased incorrectly at some point during manufacturing. If you have already mangled the threads by trying to force it, you are probably out of luck.

[@saf00]

will u be reviewing the Boldr Freediver GMT?

[@Reclaimtherainbow_Gen9]

I had the same problem with the screws. They put Loctite on their screws before sending them out. I literally took mine to a watch repair store and they couldn’t even do it. I ended up just getting a refund because of the communication with Zelos. There’s no trick your missing, trust me.

[@ryanm9554]

great review, great shots, great watch. The screw head reinstall is very concerning. Hoping to get this one, will have to watch out for that. It's certainly strange that you were able to remove them with no problems, but reinstall was very difficult. Might have been better to remove the loctite and reapply a very light dab.

[@evankyriazis5089]

Love your content, Dave

[@pktsqr]

It really is nuts how fast Zelos watches sell out. My most recent purchase from them was the Aurora field watch, and despite getting a more conservative/less "hot" dial variant, I still ended up with 93/100. And that's after putting it in my cart at precisely 00h00m00s and spending only about a minute in checkout. Perhaps the jump in price will slow sales on this GMT, but I wouldn't be surprised if the meteorite and aventurine don't sell out in a matter of seconds. I always go into a Zelos buy with a backup model I can switch to in the moment... Anyway, looks like a cool watch. I'd be considering joining the frenzy if I hadn't *just* obliterated my normal spending cap on the Maen GMT recently recommended here.

[@dennypayne]

Elshan has said that the watches aren't sent out in any particular order.

[@pktsqr]

Good to know.

[@konadora]

the numbers are randomized :)

[@popomomo12]

I really want to go ahead and get the frost version as there seems to be some left

[@mattconnor651]

What a stunner ! I love how even a microbrand can generate so much hype. These will disappear in no time. Goes to show people want quality !

[@alexfrans1267]

Really nice watch, then you pair with that artem blue strap even better

[@TheTownWatch]

Killer piece!!

[@eram1004]

With all the new GMT's what's your favorite? Maen, Zelos, Seiko, others?

[@midwestgent9618]

You should have a T-Shirt with SEIKOPATH on it in your store! In the SEIKO font of course!

[@thegorn]

Zelos are doing some cool stuff. The bezel turning looks and sounds nasty though.

[@morgan97475]

Nice looking watch. I really like the look of the movement.

[@yukonthornsaengsanoh7942]

I found Zeppelin 76683 LZ 126 Los Angeles that use Miyota 9075. I think maybe you review this watch for true GMT watch information. Thanks

[@johnbuckmaster569]

It’s awesome. I presently own six Zelos watches… I’ve refrain from buying the last few offerings because I didn’t think that they had much more to offer than what I already had. Not going to be able to resist this one though. The bidirectional bezel That clicks and 30 minute increments is something I haven’t seen and any watch under $8000… And their styling is always recognizable… They are the Rolex of Micro brands in my opinion.

[@cosmodoc]

at this price point you can get a CW c63 sealander GMT with the same movement. As much as I love Zelos, this one is not particularly good value compared to others

[@mocha8232]

Thanks for pointing out the CW but the CW dial and bezel are boring.

[@cosmodoc]

@@mocha8232 it looks stunning in reality and better quality

Hi Dave. great content as usual. I'm doing a video on microbrand GMTs and would like to know if you'd mind it if I use a 5 to 10 second clip from this video for that video. I can credit you in the video credits as well as the description. Let me know thank you.

Agreed. This watch with a more subtle dial would be amazing

[@SaSpursFan]

Agree!

I was able to get the aventurine at launch it sold out in about a minute. I agree with others it should be a lottery since they are such rare timepieces. This one ticked a lot of boxes for me though

What is that minute hand???

Could you PLEASEEEEE review the Baltic tricompax please:)

[@steven3379]

Wow that's a beauty alright!

[@pierce_fierce]

I’ve yet to get a Zelos… but man this may be my first. Amazing this is under 1k

[@johnnyj.817]

the adventurine dial one sold out so fast… i have both caller(original) and traveller gmt watches. traveler is great if you do travel between time zones VERY often, and don’t stop wearing the watch for more than a week because setting it is a pain/more work. caller gmt easier to set if you rotate watches.

[@mocha8232]

How can stainless steel screw strips so easily... maybe the grade of SS used is too soft. You can email zelos to try to get some replacement screws.

[@DavidRon]

Oof, those screws. This leaves me wanting pin and collar. The blue plastic pin removal tool is $8 on Amazon. They should just include it with the watch instead of lock tight.

[@robertstates]

Hi Dave. Will you be selling this one?

[@robertstates]

Never mind. Just completed the video and saw that junior has dibs. 🙂

[@jeffreygoss8109]

Love Zelos watches and their commitment to quality and style and customer service. Undoubtedly the best customer service there is, you have an issue and the owner responds immediately. This watch is beautiful, but for the life of me I don’t understand GMTs, just add or subtract a few hours.

[@andreas333bb8]

Looks pretty nice, although I like slightly larger watches. Can somebody explain to me why they only make enough watches to last for a couple of minutes? Why am I even watching a video of a new watch that isn't available? Guess I hit the stop button 😂😂

[@kentchoong7922]

I’m new fan for this brand, started collecting at Aurora series. I think not you hit the stop button, but someone hit it since long time ago 😂 . Until now I can’t have a chance to bought one from their officially website 😅

[@Bob_Smith19]

Screw links are never a good idea. It a matter if the heads will strip. Just a matter of when. There a resin flat head screws aren’t used in construction anymore.

[@rayray..3349]

Arigatou gozameasu..!

[@Visitor555]

One of the best watches out there in any price range. Unfortunately too expensive for me.

[@mracekproductions]

Maybe check out Traska or Boldr.

[@JoeSmith-ge8bz]

Some people will buy these and put them on eBay for double the price just look at the colorful swordfish that recently dropped they’re selling for double double on eBay my advice is don’t buy from these guys make them eat the watch

[@finesse49]

This one is unobjectionable with its moderate size and relatively neutral colours. When I saw the yellow one that Relative Time had, the first thing that came to mind was an organism called dog vomit slime mold.

[@moneymikz]

I just found Zelo‘s but all their good shit is sold out. And since my last name starts with a Z they were going to be my go to micro brand, but I don’t want to pay $1400 on eBay for $900 watch…

[@markfeldman612]

This will sell out within the first minute.

[@whywecollectwatches]

It sold out in less than 2 mins.

[@lassejupin6684]

Fantastic watch but not an affordable watch at all

[@nikc1313]

compared to any other watch I can think of with this movement its very competitively priced. It undercuts the christopher ward GMT with this movement while adding the hardness coating.

[@mracekproductions]

@@nikc1313 disagree. There’s lots of brands now using Miyota 9075 with flyer/travel gmt which is more practical when tracking 2 time zones.

[@sinjinadams2862]

It's a beautiful watch! I absolutely love meteorite dials! Unfortunately I don't like this watch company! They always make you jump through hoops to buy their watches! I don't want to have to get up at midnight to maybe be one of the so called lucky few to get one of their watches! Maybe make enough watches for everyone. They think they're Rolex! Screw them, I'll spend my money elsewhere!

[@nintendokings]

Give me a normal dial with NH34 at $400 and I’d be interested

[@steveyoung101]

Nothing special. The dials are identical except he charges $869 for the watch with the Swiss movement in it. I will get something for this money if GMT is not a must-have feature.

[@SG-dg6oi]

except the entire Spearfish line is sold out!

[@max.loves.watches]

Too many flaws with this one for me. The high price amidst wide availability of GMTs at all price points, quality control issues, sapphire bezel instead of ceramic, no 24 hour rehaut, and frustratingly limited availability to boot.

[@campshay19]

They released this too close to the swordfish

[@MKGamingInvesting]
