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 Watermelon (Gen3)

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Watermelon (Gen3) for its fun, entrepreneurial, and affordable nature, with a design described as "Bauhaus meets Bugs Bunny." However, some find its colors a love-it-or-hate-it feature and others perceive the overall quality and finishing as a tier below comparable watches. Accuracy figures are not specified, but one owner found the watch too thick for their taste. The chronograph function has been noted as potentially sticky or jumpy. On balance, owners are divided on the Studio Underd0g Watermelon (Gen3), with opinions split between its unique design and perceived value for money.

Tissot Telemeter 1938

The Tissot Telemeter 1938 is widely praised for its vintage-inspired aesthetic, handsome dial finishing, and value as a mechanical chronograph. Owners and reviewers highlight its balanced dial, the "old-looking" vintage logo, and the attractive two-tone dial variations. The Valjoux A05.231 movement is noted for its 68-hour power reserve, though one owner describes its feel as "alive" and "like its engine." The double-sided anti-reflective coating and the way sunlight interacts with the hands are also appreciated. However, the 42mm case size is frequently cited as being too large for a retro-inspired watch, with many wishing for a smaller option, and its 30-meter water resistance is considered poor. The pusher feel is described as sharp, though slightly stiff, and one reviewer found the Tissot branding on the dial and crown excessive.
