Zelos Swordfish 40 Ember: Superb Across the Board...almost

[@chriscon8463]

That’s a nice watch! I have the 40mm green-faced titanium Swordfish. I wasn’t wearing it much, so I gave it to my 11-year old son & he wears it 24/7.

The Swordfish is proportionally balanced. Titanium would look awesome with this case design. Your son has great taste! Have a great weekend.

found one and ordered! i love your outdoor shots mate, really gives the perspective of what other people see and how the watch looks on the wrist from a distance

[@Realidealgear]

Congrats on finding one and thank you! Take care!

I had this watch in my cart, hesitated for half an hour, and missed out. Love this one.

[@Realidealgear]

I wasn't impressed when it first came out and wasn't going to get one...it has since grown on me.

[@Toshtogo122]

I have this in the 42mm, love it. I agree about the date window. I would have preferred a no date version if it was available.

[@Realidealgear]

I like the date complication…something needs to be done to make it easier to read such bolder white print, use a color matched date wheel with black numbers…the current configuration is unnecessarily difficult to read. Thanks for watching!

[@adk7962]

It’s a stunning watch. There’s a reason why they sell out so quickly and it considered one of the best Microbrands out there. Thanks for the great review! Also you know you watch a lot of British and Australian Watch Reviewers when you start calling your flashlight a torch. 😅

[@Realidealgear]

Couldn't agree more. I didn't realize I said that...your 100% right, I'm watching too many 'old english channels!' Have a great week.

[@MrShinobi797]

Great review Tim. I also bought this Zelos model and I agree with you on the Date Window issue : The window is too damn small...it should have been larger. Love the watch overall tho.

[@Realidealgear]

Dittos on your comments. Love the watch. Take care and merry Christmas!

[@kickstothehead3705]

I don’t have on yet but I’m intrigued

[@Realidealgear]

That's how it started for me...

[@choond]

That is one stunning watch. Great review

[@Realidealgear]

It is that for sure. Thank you!

[@regin_chao]

zelos really is the brand that going to shine

[@Realidealgear]

It's an outstanding company and philosophy regrading watch making.

Video great as always! Please make a video about Casio DW6900-1. Greetings from Poland!

[@Realidealgear]

Thank you for the suggestion...I'll look into it. Be well my friend.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

Its absolutely beautiful! I do however agree with your wife. It does look like a rich yellow egg yolk! I like the tool like aesthetic as well! I think the date wheel is the right color but the font or thickness of the date can do with improvement. Other than that its a great watch! Have a great one Tim!

[@Realidealgear]

I'd love to see a white on black date display that works and your point about a bold print might work...why doesn't a watch company do that? You have a great week. Thanksgiving here in a couple days...many thanks to you for our conversation brother. Take care Johan.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

​@@Realidealgear I think its because a slim font is more elegant and a bolder one might not have suited the designers vision... That being said... ITS A TOOL WATCH so practicality has to be first and foremost. You know what would have also worked? If the color matched the date wheel, made it luminous and made the numbers black... And you brother! I enjoy and value your wisdom! Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving!

[@Realidealgear]

Thank you Johan...don't know if Thanksgiving is celebrated in SA this time of year or at all...happy thanksgiving to you. I'm thankful to have to have met you, a Christian brother.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

@@Realidealgear Negative, We don't have that at all! Closest would be Heritage day and since were Christian and Boer that's our heritage. Thank you for the kind words Tim! I am glad to have met you as well! May God bless you and your family during these holidays! Take care man!
