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 The Gimlet

Studio Underd0g The Gimlet is praised for its playful, layered dial construction featuring a textured sapphire disc over a luminous base, creating depth and animation, and its comfortable 38mm case dimensions. Owners note its attractive dial color and combination, though some find the design too similar to other models and question the aesthetic of the visible dial screws. The watch utilizes a reliable, tactile Sellita SW210-1 manual-wind movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Studio Underd0g The Gimlet highly for its unique dial construction and comfortable wearability.

Zelos Comet 39

Owners widely praise the Zelos Comet 39 for its wearable 39mm size, thin profile under 10mm thanks to its manual-wind Sellita SW215 movement, and its captivating dial with a deep starburst effect. The winding action is described as a joy, and the watch is considered a stunner for its price, blending modern and vintage aesthetics. Some owners note frustration with Zelos's limited production runs leading to quick sell-outs. One owner found the logo childlike, while another experienced strap-rubbing issues with the short lugs, which were resolved with a Milanese bracelet. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Comet 39 highly for its excellent value and striking dial design.
