What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Studio Underd0g Mint Choc Chip (Gen3)

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. Some owners, however, find the watch overpriced for its movement and dial quality, and a few feel it appears toy-like on larger wrists. Overall, owners and reviewers value the Studio Underd0g Mint Choc Chip (Gen3) for its distinctive aesthetic and comfortable wear, despite some reservations about price and perceived scale.

Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph

The Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph is praised for its elegant, art deco-inspired multi-layered dial and comfortable leather strap. Owners note its 38mm diameter, 46mm lug-to-lug, and 11.5mm thickness, along with a sapphire crystal and 5 ATM water resistance. Criticisms include the use of different fonts for sub-dial and perimeter markers, and the absence of a traditional running second hand. Overall, owners appreciate the Vario Empire Tachymètre Chronograph for its distinctive dial design and comfortable wearability.
