What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

William Wood Beacon

The William Wood Beacon is praised for its bold flavors, particularly its prominent oak and rye influence, with tasting notes of candied orange peel, dried apricots, and baking spices, and a long, full finish. Some find its oak-forward profile overwhelming and its MSRP of $300 unreasonable. Overall, owners rate the William Wood Beacon highly for its bold flavors and character, with one owner awarding it a score of 9.4/10.

Zelos Nova 37

Owners widely praise the Zelos Nova 37's spectacular 37mm dimensions and extremely light, thin wearability. The meteorite dial is frequently highlighted as a captivating feature, though some reviewers suggest simpler indices would improve legibility over the Arabic numerals. The watch is considered a considerable value at $1,999. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Nova 37 highly for its excellent dimensions and dial execution at the price.
