Studio Underd0g Guacamole (Gen3)vsWilliam Wood Beacon

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.

The William Wood Beacon is praised for its bold flavors, particularly its prominent oak and rye influence, with tasting notes of candied orange peel, dried apricots, and baking spices, and a long, full finish. Some find its oak-forward profile overwhelming and its MSRP of $300 unreasonable. Overall, owners rate the William Wood Beacon highly for its bold flavors and character, with one owner awarding it a score of 9.4/10.
