Fears Brunswick (Anthracite)vsStudio Underd0g Guacamole (Gen3)

The Fears Brunswick (Anthracite) is praised for its anthracite dial with raised Arabic numerals and unique eye-dropper hands, which shift from anthracite to silver in different light. Its 38mm cushion case is noted for its contoured design that fits well on the wrist. One owner found the case back to be a letdown. The manually wound ETA 7001 movement offers a 38-40 hour power reserve without hacking seconds. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Fears Brunswick (Anthracite) for its distinctive dial and comfortable wearability.

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Guacamole (Gen3) for its fun, cheerful, and unusual design with great colors, and one owner found its actual wrist presence perfect. Some owners, however, find the dial printing tacky and the overall design looking cheap, while others feel it is a bit pricey for what is offered. The pushers lack crispness, and the crystal is very reflective and domed too much at the edges. One owner expresses concern that it uses a Seagull ST91-B movement, known for a high failure rate. On balance, owners are split on the value proposition of the Studio Underd0g Guacamole (Gen3) at its current price point, with some appreciating its unique aesthetic and others finding the design and movement choices underwhelming.
