Seiko's third-party supply version of the 4R35, sold to external watch brands and modders worldwide. Adds hacking and hand-winding over the 7S26 it effectively replaced. The NH35 has become the default automatic movement for watch modding and microbrand watches, thanks to its low cost, reliability, and wide availability of compatible parts including dials, hands, and cases in the Seiko-compatible format.

02The community take

Owners talk.

“

Owners widely praise the Zelos Swordfish 3 for its strong value, with reviewers highlighting the textured sandwich dial, Seiko NH35 movement, 200m water resistance, and surprisingly good bracelet. The titanium construction is noted for making the watch compact and comfortable, weighing 117g. Some owners find the dimensions fine on paper and based on experience with other models. One reviewer flagged that legibility can suffer in bright light and bracelet edges are sharp. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Swordfish 3 highly for its incredible value and fun design, particularly with unique dial options.
