I would go for the Defy all day everyday. Nothing against the Globemaster, but the Defy has a great simplistic design and I can see myself wearing it for ages without being tired of it. 👍

Both beautiful watches. I think trying each one on may decide it for you...

I have the Defy Classic Skeleton, and funny enough, I am wearing it today. The watch wears extremely light with the rubber bracelet. I find myself staring at the movement throughout the day. I don't think you can go wrong with the Zenith, and the price point is not bad either. here is a photo for reference...

{Apologies I'm bumping up text I already posted elsewhere}

I've been saving the pennies for some time now for a modern sports piece (in a bid to break out of vintage 😉), and generally assuming the steel/steel/blue Globemaster was going to be my destination. But this Zenith is starting to turn my head... 🙄

I always like to support genuine design and technology rather than the marketing and PR department. So I revere the METAS movement. But this Zenith is a great effort though. My particular issues are around the titanium in the real world. How are the scratches - or has Zenith put on a good coating? Does it feel "lightweight" in the pejorative sense? And does the metal have less lustre? I hope to get to an AD to look and feel one day soon, but real OF user opinions count a lot with me too.

So... anyone who owns this with the titanium bracelet classic dial, please tell me what you think, thanks! 👍

I much prefer the Globemaster over the Zenith. However, if you are considering a skeleton dial then the Zenith is the winner. There is a black ceramic skeleton defy classic calling my name at my local AD.

Funny I didn't think to compare them. I would do zenith skeleton and blue globemaster 😀 The ceramic blue zenith will be mine someday. Classic defy is a lot less than globemaster and can be had for around 3k. I love the blue zenith defy but the date kinda bugs me.

Tough one but if I had to choose, I’d go for the Defy
