Praesidus A-5 UDTvsZelos GT

The Praesidus A-5 UDT is noted for its historically inspired design, featuring an oversized crown cap and chain that pays homage to WW2 canteen watches. Reviewers highlight its functional dial with embossed, Super-LumiNova filled numerals and markers for legibility, alongside 200m water resistance and a 38mm brushed stainless steel case. Some owners find the 11.7mm thickness problematic, describing it as disproportionately tall. The watch's ana/digi functionality and connection to special operations forces are also praised. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Praesidus A-5 UDT for its unique historical design elements and functional dial.

The Zelos GT is lauded for its value and bold design, with owners highlighting the cool power reserve meter and superb 3-point micro-adjust bracelet. Some owners find the case and lugs could hug the wrist better, and the bracelet is noted as being quite long, requiring significant link removal for a 7.1-inch wrist. The dark green dial, while inspired by Lamborghini, is described as appearing mostly black. Overall, owners rate the Zelos GT highly for its value and the quality of its bracelet at the price point.
