What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Formex Stratos UTC

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Formex Stratos UTC for its user-friendly flyer GMT complication, which utilizes pushers for time-zone adjustments, and its slim 11.8mm case. The watch is noted for its intricate, hand-finished case with a multi-layer construction and excellent finishing, along with a unique two-level case design. The Dubois-Depraz module on an ETA 2892 movement is a highlight, with accuracy figures ranging from +/- 5 to +/- 7 seconds per day. However, some find the dial busy with multiple typefaces and the overall design too complex or "plug ugly," with the price near €4000 considered high by some for a newer brand. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Formex Stratos UTC highly for its innovative GMT functionality and excellent case finishing at its price point.

Zelos Great White 43

Owners widely praise the Zelos Great White 43's "unbelievable" and "amazing" lume, particularly on the carbon and Frost variants. The Miyota 9015 movement and 300m water resistance are noted features. Some owners find the 43mm size large, while others report it wears well. Opinions are divided on colorways, with some disappointed by the absence of a "Nebula" option and others finding the "Arctic" version striking. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Great White 43 highly for its exceptional lume and robust specifications at the price point.
