The Zelos Nova 37 is praised for its spectacular 37mm dimensions and thin, light wearability, with owners highlighting the hand-wound movement and case design. Some prefer simpler indices over Arabic numerals on the dial, and legibility is a concern for some based on photos. The meteorite dial is noted as a standout feature.

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.
