WISE AD8 Chronograph

Owners widely praise the WISE AD8 Chronograph for its superb fit and finish, unique dial, elegant case design, and outstanding lume, with many considering it a significant step up in quality for the brand. It is noted for keeping great time, with one owner reporting +2 seconds per day. Some owners find it a bit pricey for the specifications, though others feel the price is right, and availability can be an issue. Overall, owners rate the WISE AD8 Chronograph highly for its exceptional build quality and aesthetic appeal at its price point.

Zelos Vitesse

Owners widely praise the Zelos Vitesse for its stunning dial aesthetics, with specific mentions of the salmon and panda variants, and appreciate its vintage-inspired motorsport design and overall finishing for the price. Some owners find the watch sits high on the wrist and note that sub-dials can appear small. The La Joux-Perret L100 movement is reported to run around +5 seconds per day, though some owners describe a stiff, noisy winding action and sticky chronograph pushers. The screw-down crown has also been noted to feel cheap or make clicking noises. Overall, owners rate the Zelos Vitesse highly for its striking dial and value, despite some criticisms regarding case height and chronograph operation.
