Archimede Watches Pilot 45

Archimede Watches Pilot 45 is widely praised for its value and craftsmanship, with owners appreciating the clean design and the brand's reputation. The 45mm case is noted as fitting well on larger wrists, and some find it wears comfortably even on smaller wrists due to its lug-to-lug length. One owner specifically likes the blue dial. Timekeeping varies, with one report of poor performance and intermittent stopping, while another owner states it runs at about +10 seconds per day. A reviewer noted the desire for an anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal. Overall, owners rate the Archimede Watches Pilot 45 highly for its value and build quality, despite some variability in timekeeping.

Zelos Nova 37

Owners widely praise the Zelos Nova 37's spectacular 37mm dimensions and extremely light, thin wearability. The meteorite dial is frequently highlighted as a captivating feature, though some reviewers suggest simpler indices would improve legibility over the Arabic numerals. The watch is considered a considerable value at $1,999. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Nova 37 highly for its excellent dimensions and dial execution at the price.

From video reviewers

The wafer-thin case and intricate dial textures are standout features. The quality of the stock leather strap is a shared concern. Reviewers differed on whether the 37mm or 38mm case size was more accurate.
