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 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
