What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.

Zelos Hammerhead 43 Field

The Zelos Hammerhead 43 Field is praised for its unique bronze case patina potential, masculine angular design, and fantastic lume. Owners also highlight the lovely Mosaic Ember and purple agate dials. However, some owners feel the 43mm case wears large, suited for wrists 7.5 inches and up, and a reviewer notes its substantial 17mm thickness. The rubber strap is disliked for making the watch feel top-heavy, and the date window is considered tiny and hard to see. Some owners express disappointment with the NH movement. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Hammerhead 43 Field well for its distinctive design and dial appeal at its price point.
