This review compares the Zentel Vigil holographic sight to the EOTech EXPS series, highlighting the Vigil's significant improvements in battery life (10,000 hours vs. EOTech's ~1 week) and a lighter, more compact form factor.

The review notes the Vigil's auto on/off feature malfunctioned on the tested unit, but its overall battery life still vastly outperforms EOTech. The Zentel Vigil is presented as a compelling, more affordable alternative to EOTech, though its manufacturing origin (China) may be a consideration for some buyers.
