Anyone have a watch from Zeno? Website shows some very affordable watches. But, I don't see a lot of this being shown here. What are your thoughts. Thanks!!

it's a brand that was popular here 2-3 years ago...they make a nice watch at an affordable price...the 3T search engine will lead you to about 26 pages of discussions and plenty of pics...ThumbsUp02.gif

Zeno makes a ton of models. Many are XL or XXL size cases. One of their most popular models is the Airplane Diver. It comes in many colors and configurations.

I own a Zeno GMT (pictured) and it is one of the smoothest operating watches I have ever owned.

When considering a Zeno, it is a good idea to look for the Zeno-Watch Basel logo as opposed to the Zeno (only) version.

My Zeno bullhead with the 7750 engine has been sold, so I no longer have a Zeno.

Personal opinion:

Affordable - yes. Reliable - yes. Build quality - excellent. Heads and movements are top notch. I could not wait to change out the faux-gator strap on which the watch was delivered, but then again my taste in straps and bracelets is not the same as everybody else.

Never had a need for their customer service, so unable to comment on warranty or otherwise. But if you see one you like, then don't hold back.

Many styles from which to choose and I none of them are losers. I would not hesitate to buy another if I see a style I like at a good price.

JMHO!

I used to have a Zeno chrono commemorative model in 50mm but I sold it to a buddy and regret it a lot. Was on Dupois Depraz and very accurate. Amazing value for sure.

Like what IanM said, I'd not hesitate to recommend it.ThumbsUp02.gif
