My First Zelos! - Zelos Swordfish 40mm Unboxing

[@DieselPower1968]

What a stunning watch Jason..and love the dial and name Swordfish..well done 👍👍

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Agreed! It looks even better in person. Don't think anyone does it like Zelos at the minute.

This looks gorgeous. I'm so jealous. I really need to try and get a Zelos at some point too. Looking forward to review mate.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Haven't had anything better for the price to be fair. Thanks man.

[@thomasbayerl3132]

Wonderful watch with the best dial colour for me. Welcome to the club. I got the SF 40 mm Black Sand and i have never worn it so far 🙈. Keep on, Jason.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

How have you resisted? Get it sized up and on wrist!

[@garethsigrist8714]

What a watch! Definitely seems to be living up to everything I’ve heard about Zelos being amazing. Awesome addition to your collection 🙌 Love the box and zip up leather pouch too. It’s a simple thing and it might sound silly but it definitely takes that initial unboxing experience up a notch when you’ve got a nice box and accessories to go with it.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

They hype is real with these! I love the unboxing experience with them, however a few people have complained about the packaging for some reason, I think its great

[@brianmsahin]

That's a beautiful dial. I'm missing a nice red dial piece so I'm most definitely jealous here!! Looking forward to seeing the review. ✌

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I was missing some red from my collection too, think I've ticked most of the colour dial boxes now

[@breaktime3269]

Nice watch, enjoyed the unboxing, liked the dial, nice bezel, look forward to your review.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Thank you man! It's a gorgeous watch. Hopefully have the review done in the coming weeks

[@marcustahoun]

Congratulations on your new purchase.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Thank you! Appreciate it.

[@shanephillips8735]

Very nice, look forward to the full review. I have the teal blacktip due to arrive tomorrow, had to pay full price unfortunately though, because I had no chance at the original release. I was happy to pay full retail though as all of the Zelos look amazing 😎

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I had the carbon dial in a little while ago and I absolutely loved it! It fits so well, definitely worth the price.

[@shanephillips8735]

Congratulations Jason!!! That's a cracking watch. I got the same color dial, mine is 111 of 200. I'm incredibly happy with mine. Enjoy yours my friend 👍👏⌚🙏

Congrats to you too! Theyre brilliant watches and I think we got the best colour of the bunch.

[@MirrlyonTime]

Omg I Officially have watch envy that is an absolutely beautiful stunning piece I did have my eye on it as well but just didn’t have the funds to pull the trigger on that one at the time of its release but getting as a loss watch is definitely on my radar this year for sure they make some amazing looking watches congrats on this purchase a true stunner

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I don't blame you, if any watch is worth envy it's this one! There will be others, good luck on the next launch.

[@seeker7679]

Beautiful watch bud. Zelos is my favourite microbrand. Enjoy and looking forward to the review. Cheers

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Mine too at the moment! The hype is there for a good reason. Thanks pal

[@HVG67]

Welcome to the club.. you're now a fellow Zelosian as well... 😆 My third is on the way...

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I feel like these are going to get addictive quickly, just too much quality for the money

[@HVG67]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy if you snatch them when they drop your getting a really good deal. After that you'll pay for being late 😆

[@HVG67]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy addictive for sure. I have more than >60 watches and out of all the micro brands so far, Zelos is by far my favorite brand together with Helm.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Haven't had a Helm in yet, they seem even harder to get hold of! Look brilliant though

[@HVG67]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy I snatched all three models whenever they were available. Out of those I love the Vanuatu the most. It's really brilliant in it's simplicity.

Zelos makes some nice watches. The burgundy dial one looks amazing.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Yeh, just never thought I'd get this type of value outside of Aliexpress. Its just next level.

[@Happyfacehotwheels]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy Yes it is. Just don't say it too loud, they might raise the prices. 😁

[@tee_m]

Think your opening technique was the real problem all along, brutal attack on this package! Great selection of colour/model and it's so good that Zelos are getting the recognition and success that they deserve.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Hahaha, you know what...you're probably right! There's a good reason I stay away from sharp items. Me too, I'm also glad they're sticking to the pricing structure and not getting greedy which they really could.

[@tee_m]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy no kidding, this would sell at double the price.

Zelos is my favorite non luxury brand. The aventurine Nova is the holy grail I didn't know I was looking for.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

The dials they offer are just incredible! At the prices they do its brilliant.

[@markgiacoletto5952]

Looks a great watch, and has also set the bar for what packaging can be made available for watches in this price bracket.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Definitely, some people have actually complained about the packaging which I don't understand

[@buijs1967]

Great watch in every way. I also love the fact that the bezel is not shiny but "brushed" looking. Rather have this instead of 4 Paganis it is more a long term satifaction if you know what i mean. Check out the lume!

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I agree, never thought I'd find this value outside of Aliexpress to be fair. Incredible piece for the price. Lume shot will be the feature of the review 😁

[@sleepinglysithia]

That looks amazing

[@Sicarius888]

Looks great with that color. I didn't care about red dials until I saw red Heimdallr Monster and now I really like the color. I guess I probably can't find Zelos before they are sold out, but I'm thinking about red Orient Kamasu.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I know a couple of people with the Orient Kamasu in red and it looks amazing! Very good choice

[@AnthonyLauder]

That's a great dial colour. You chose well. I bought the bronze swordfish recently, and they sold out in minutes too.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I'm not surprised, they look brilliant too! With the bronze bracelet also?

[@AnthonyLauder]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy I didn't go with the bracelet, because customs tax and fees where I live are around 50%, which would have made it a $300 bracelet.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Wow, that's ridiculous! I thought my tax and customs were bad

[@AnthonyLauder]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy It is bad enough charging the customs tax and fees on the watch, but they even charge it on free shipping and any watch tools, extra straps, or even the box (if it is a nice one) because these are all counted as "taxable gifts". I guess the only positive is that it keeps my watch buying addiction slightly under control.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Sounds like money grabbing to me like. Guess I should be grateful mine isn't so bad

[@erwinsteneker4078]

Beautiful looks, a bit chunky height wise though. Love the color.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

Surprisingly wearable to be fair. Same here, the dial is just incredible

[@watchalot919]

I have the teal version, and it's great. That said, the Blacktip is better. RE the packaging, it's under review. personally I prefer the previous version. You obviously haven't had the duty and VAT bill, because you will

[@darrenak9378]

Congratulations on your first Zelos. I don't think you mentioned the price 😜

I also got one of the latest zelos swordfish 40mm and it’s also my first zelos! But I got the “salmon” dial which was definitely the best color way!! Lol 😂 Awesome video!

Is Zelos from California? They have the same logo as Z-FLEX Skateboards.

[@CatBroiler]

You should get a Monzo/Starling account. You usually get the best exchange rate through these app banks, and they don't charge any fees. Especially in a time like now when the pound is strong, you should be paying in USD on Aliexpress and other stores to save that little bit more.

[@JasonTheWatchGuy]

I didn't actually know you could do that. I'll have to have a look into them

[@CatBroiler]

@@JasonTheWatchGuy You really should, Monzo is a pretty handy bank account to have in general too.

I’m not giving you a thumbs down, well, not yet anyway. Please don’t fall into the habit of reviewing watches that are hardly, if available. A channel I *used* to follow continually pimped such watches...this was one of the brands that make no effort to maintain inventory. Oh hell. You changed my mind. This is thumbs down.
