Maen Manhattan 37 seconde/seconde/vsStudio Underd0g Guacamole (Gen3)

The Maen Manhattan 37 seconde/seconde/ is widely praised for its dressy styling and perceived step up in quality from other microbrands in its price bracket. Reviewers highlight its slim 9.3mm case, 100m water resistance, and comfortable integrated bracelet as key strengths, with the dark blue dial and hand-painted NYC references described as a hauntingly cool and versatile feature. The Sellita SW200-1 movement powers the time-only display, and the $1,499 price is considered good value. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Maen Manhattan 37 seconde/seconde/ highly for its unique dial and slim, versatile 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.
