Reviews

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

Henry Archer Øhav

Owners widely praise the Henry Archer Øhav for its beautiful design, particularly the dial's depth effect created by applied indices and a floating effect from markers, with one owner noting it looks Grand Seiko-esque. The watch's finishing is considered a cut above its price point, and winding is smooth. However, the date window is consistently described as illegible, and one owner found the date wheel slightly off-center. The dial's pattern is identical across colorways, a point of disappointment for some compared to advertising. The watch achieves +0spd out of the box. Overall, owners rate the Henry Archer Øhav highly for its dial finishing and value, despite the illegible date window.

Zelos Swordfish 3

Owners widely praise the Zelos Swordfish 3 for its strong value, with reviewers highlighting the textured sandwich dial, Seiko NH35 movement, 200m water resistance, and surprisingly good bracelet. The titanium construction is noted for making the watch compact and comfortable, weighing 117g. Some owners find the dimensions fine on paper and based on experience with other models. One reviewer flagged that legibility can suffer in bright light and bracelet edges are sharp. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Swordfish 3 highly for its incredible value and fun design, particularly with unique dial options.
