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.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
