What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Zelos Nasa Edition (sellita)

The Zelos Nasa Edition (sellita) is praised for its thinness, stemming from its hand-wound Sellita SW215 movement, and is noted for its good size and wearability. The watch features a 39mm case, a 45mm lug to lug, and a 20mm lug width. On balance, owners rate the Zelos Nasa Edition (sellita) highly for its comfortable dimensions and thin profile.

Vaer R1 Racing Chronograph

The Vaer R1 Racing Chronograph is widely praised for its beautiful cream dial, which some describe as champagne-like, and its luxurious case finishing for the price. Owners appreciate its well-proportioned design, pleasing dial with well-chosen font weights, and retro feel, with one noting it remains a favorite in their rotation and has easy band swapping. The watch features a 38mm cushion case, a Seiko VK63 meca-quartz movement, 100m water resistance, and American assembly. One owner noted the 42mm size wears small for a larger wrist, and the "ghost" crown position is mentioned. It includes two signed-buckle straps and a domed sapphire crystal. Overall, owners rate the Vaer R1 Racing Chronograph highly for its vintage-inspired aesthetic and value.
