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 Champagne & Caviar

The Studio Underd0g Champagne & Caviar is a polarizing monopusher chronograph with a unique dial design inspired by luxury food and drink, featuring a textured champagne top dial and a caviar-themed subdial. Owners and reviewers are split on its aesthetic, with some calling the design "so fucking bad" and "gross," while others appreciate its "awesome" concept. It is powered by a manual-wind Sellita SW510M Elaboré movement with a 63-hour power reserve and is rated at ±5 seconds per day, housed in a 38.5mm stainless steel case and priced at $2,200. On balance, the Studio Underd0g Champagne & Caviar is a unique but divisive chronograph, with its polarizing design being the primary point of contention among enthusiasts and reviewers.

From video reviewers

The Studio Underd0g Standard's Sellita SW210-1 automatic movement offers a 42-hour power reserve. The watch's build quality is a notable weakness, with reviewers mentioning that it's not as well-polished as its competitors. Reviewers disagree on the watch's value, with one reviewer comparing it to the Gibson Les Paul and another noting its price is more accessible than the standard Brunswick.

Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound

Owners widely praise the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound for its detailed, multi-layered dial featuring applied numerals and guilloche patterns, its elegant Art Deco-inspired design, and the enjoyable winding feel of the Miyota 6T33 handwound movement, often visible through an exhibition case back. The 38mm case size is considered a positive by many, and the included leather strap is noted for its comfort and quality. Some owners find the differing fonts on the sub-dials and perimeter less appealing, and the absence of a constant seconds sub-dial is flagged as a drawback. On balance, owners rate the Vario Empire Art Nouveau Handwound highly for its distinctive Art Deco styling and detailed dial at its price point.
