Astor + Banks Fortitude ProvsStudio Underd0g Guacamole (Gen3)

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro for its scratch-resistant coating, thin and compact 38.5mm case, and versatile dial options. The layered finishing with polished chamfers and comfortable bracelet are frequently highlighted as strong points, contributing to its wearability. One owner notes good timekeeping, while a reviewer states the Miyota 9015 movement is adjusted to +/-10 seconds per day. A potential drawback mentioned is the date numeral appearing in half shadow due to anti-magnetic shielding, and one owner considers the bracelet clasp dated. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Astor + Banks Fortitude Pro highly for its durable construction and thoughtful design at its price point.

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Guacamole (Gen3) for its fun, cheerful, and unusual design with great colors, and one owner found its actual wrist presence perfect. Some owners, however, find the dial printing tacky and the overall design looking cheap, while others feel it is a bit pricey for what is offered. The pushers lack crispness, and the crystal is very reflective and domed too much at the edges. One owner expresses concern that it uses a Seagull ST91-B movement, known for a high failure rate. On balance, owners are split on the value proposition of the Studio Underd0g Guacamole (Gen3) at its current price point, with some appreciating its unique aesthetic and others finding the design and movement choices underwhelming.
