Owners praise the Zelos Hammerhead 2 1000m Bronze 'Slate Grey' NH35 for its distinctive, chunky look and strong value; one owner calls the lume exceptionally bright and great for the price, while another says the uneven minute-marker spacing is an acceptable design compromise. Reviewers call the $749 bronze version a well-made, exceptional-value diver with a sub-50mm lug-to-lug and a screw-down crown at four o'clock that aid wearability, though one reviewer finds the indices noticeably weaker in brightness and paint consistency than the bezel, hands and crown.
