Reviews

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

Yema Diver

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.

Zelos Helmsman 3

Owners widely praise the Zelos Helmsman 3 for its exceptional finishing and polishing on the titanium case, with some noting it feels nicer than previous models. The unique Titanium Crystalline Dial and Damascus Titanium dial are frequently highlighted as aesthetically pleasing and head-turning features, especially considering the price point. The brushed beads of rice bracelet is described as fitting well, and the on-the-fly clasp is considered amazing. Lume is also noted as great, with lumed crowns being a positive observation. However, some owners report the watch can feel top-heavy with sharp edges, making it uncertain as a daily driver for some. The meteorite bezel is seen by one owner as not adding significant value, and the stock strap's keepers and stitching were considered to detract from the watch's appearance.
