The watch's lume is noted as surprisingly bright, and its suitability for water activities is confirmed. However, some owners find the bezel difficult to turn and question its functionality as a true dive watch bezel due to its thinness, while others are deterred by the brand name. On balance, owners rate the DuFrane Watches Travis 39mm MkII Mechanical Diving Watch highly for its comfortable wearability and attractive dial features, with many appreciating the included strap options.
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.
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.
