Henry Archer TidevandvsStudio Underd0g Guacamole (Gen3)

Owners widely praise the Henry Archer Tidevand for its exceptional finishing, highlighting the contrast between brushing and beveled polished edges, and its spectacular Aventurine dial, which evokes a sense of space. The BGW9 lume is described as "off the charts" and provides strong nighttime visibility, complementing the watch's rugged construction and refined aesthetic. The 40mm case is noted as being thin at 10.65mm, and the watch features a 120-click diver's bezel and 200 meters of water resistance. One owner reported tight bracelet push pins, but Henry Archer's customer service resolved the issue. On balance, owners rate the Henry Archer Tidevand highly for its striking Aventurine dial and robust lume.

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.
