Hi everyone I’m new here. Kinda new to the watch world but been into knives my whole life. Pictured is the Swordfish Ti 40mm and the Spyderco Spydiech...
commented onBeach Day Carry - Zelos Swordfish Ti 40mm·
The swordfish is my smallest watch and the best fitting one, and the only one that I can wear 24/7 without even noticing it. Love the design and all the sharp angles, feels pretty “swift” in my wrist as opposed to the hammerhead v2.
My two gripes with it are 1. it seriously feels like zelos just grabbed a dremel and decided to put random strokes on the dial to make it look like forged carbon, under certain lights it looks really cheap. I know that every dial turns out different but mine doesn’t look at all like the photos. In fact, if you click at the swordfish tag and scroll down a little, you’ll see a much better dial of this same watch.
And 2. Compared to my hammerhead the case back looks unfinished, it is all stamped and decorated with a generic font with zero detail in the outer ring. For a $450 watch, it is really lacking. Also if you look closely I literally snapped the quick release knob off the pin, they are absurdly long and sticks out ~2mm from the bracelet.
And as for the SpydieChef, a virtually bombproof knife inmune to rust and dust (no bearing just bronze washers), two little details holds it back from being perfect: lack of a steel insert in the framelock making it to stick HARD and sometimes requiring two hands to close. And what baffles me the most is the spydie hole, they made it small and unreachable from the back making it impossible to do the classic spydie flick.
