One owner experienced a non-functional watch upon arrival. Overall, owners value the Maen Classic 36 for its attractive dial and design elements, though a significant quality control issue was reported by one owner.

Owners and reviewers praise the Studio Underd0g Mint Choc Chip (Gen3) for its unique, visually striking design, featuring an asymmetrical dial, textured two-tone finish, orange chrono hand tips, and chocolate chip hour markers, all housed in a comfortable 38.5mm case with a hand-winding SeaGull ST-1901 movement and a goat-skin strap.
