Reviews

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

Out of Order Casanova

Owners widely appreciate the Out of Order Casanova's unique "damaged in Italy" aesthetic and its blend with natural settings, though some find the design obnoxious or question the "Made in Italy" claim. The watch features a mother-of-pearl dial and a Seiko NH35 automatic movement, with one reviewer noting accuracy within ±8 seconds per day. Its 38mm case and 12.25mm thickness are described as comfortable for a range of wrists, though one owner found it heavier than expected. Price is a point of contention, with one commenter calling it a rip-off while a reviewer notes its attractive price point for an automatic diver. Overall, owners rate the Out of Order Casanova highly for its distinctive design and comfortable wearability at its price point.

One owner notes a slight increase in rattling and a lighter feel compared to previous versions, while another wished for a bracelet adjustment tool. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Swordfish 40mm SS 'Slate' highly for its remarkable value and distinctive dial at its price.
