Amazing as always with Zelos watches.
I like these watches so much I have seven of them now.
This one is unlike any other in my collection! Zelos is always pushing the bar on their dials. The dials rival and surpass some of the dials SEIKO comes up with, but have their own originality. The patterns and colors of the Ti-Damascus are mesmerizing. The materials and build quality continue to improve. Things like sapphire crystals, bracelets with screw pins, quick release bracelets with micro-adjust on the fly have become standard. Although the watch should always be the main concern and star of the show, Zelos tries to keep the packaging fresh always exploring new options.
I often wonder how Zelos can make a profit selling such high quality watches at such reasonable prices. Then again, maybe the mainstream watch manufacturers have just been overpricing for years. Getting past that and considering this specific model, as usual, I'm blown away. The Mako has always been the most comfortable watch I've owned. That's saying a lot with 35+ years of collecting. Making this model from titanium rather than stainless this time was yet another improvement. The perfect balance between the weight of a quality watch and comfort. The Miyota 90 series movement speaks for itself, but if you're not familiar, it's a time tested workhorse, but is still a highbeat with a high jewel count. And what's a watch review without speaking on the aesthetics? This is the first watch with a Timascus dial and bezel insert, and in a word, beautiful. This is an extreme case of pictures don't do it justice. One feature that goes above and beyond, though not the only one, is the micro adjust bracelet. If you have never had one, get one and you'll never go back. Ever had watch that was perfectly sized one day, then too tight the next, and another day a bit loose? Of course, we all have. Our bodies change with the weather and even what we eat. With this bracelet you'll never have that issue again. There are 5 micro adjust positions that allow for about a centimeter of adjustment. Slide the spring release switch to adjust the size, and that's it. 3 seconds a day to have the perfect fit each time. My apologies for the long read, but trust me, if you're considering this as your first Zelos, you'll also be overjoyed with it and may not be able to stop taking about it either. 5 out of 5 stars is simply not enough, because not only does this watch look, feel and perform much higher than it's price point, but the owner of Zelos also backs his watches with the utmost integrity. He's a daily part of the Microbrand community, always helpful, always kind, and with an unmatched customer service attitude. This is what every company should be.
Im thrilled to see a company as revolutionary as Zelos using ultra rare materials like Timascus in their watches. I am a pocket knife collector and this was my gateway watch into the world of watches!
