What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Monta Atlas

The Monta Atlas is widely praised for its exceptional wearability, with its comfortable 38.5mm case size and buttery bracelet frequently highlighted. Owners and reviewers alike commend its fit and finish, noting a mix of brushed, polished, and blasted surfaces. However, the rehaut on the opaline silver dial is considered nearly illegible for the 24-hour GMT scale, leading some to suggest other dial colors are more practical for GMT functionality. One owner also flagged the crown as less sturdy than anticipated and noted the AR coating attracts fingerprints. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Monta Atlas highly for its comfortable dimensions and appealing finishing.

From video reviewers

The Monta Opalin Silver's dial is a notable strength, particularly its subtle gradient effect that adds depth to the watch without being too flashy. The watch offers a notable value proposition due to its movement, typically found in more expensive timepieces. The bracelet can be prone to rattle, which might be a trade-off for some buyers.

Zelos Skyraider 2

The Zelos Skyraider 2 is praised for its value, particularly offering unique dial materials like meteorite at a fraction of luxury prices, and its bronze case is noted for a warm glow. Reviewers and owners highlight the Flieger-inspired design and the use of a manual-wind ETA 6498 movement, with BGW9 and C3 Super-LumiNova lume. Some owners find the skeletonized variant ideal for style over everyday legibility, while others note the brand's past designs have sometimes been hard to read or bulky. The Zelos Skyraider 2 is available in various materials and dial options, with prices ranging from $699 to $1,399. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Skyraider 2 highly for its distinctive materials and design at a competitive price point.
