What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Makydo 38

Owners widely praise the Makydo 38 for its excellent finishing and comfortable wearability as a daily watch. The mosaic dial and leather watch roll are noted as distinctive inclusions. However, some question its value proposition at the stated price point, and one owner reported a negative customer service experience; opinion on the asymmetrical case shape is split, with some finding it interesting and classy while others are less convinced. Overall, owners rate the Makydo 38 highly for its finishing quality and practical daily-wear comfort, though pricing remains a point of contention in the community.

Studio Underd0g Classic Cheese (Gen3)

The Studio Underd0g Classic Cheese (Gen3) is praised for its unique textured dial, graduating from yellow to orange with a distinctive "missing" slice at 3 o'clock, evoking melted cheese. It features a vintage-inspired 38.5mm stainless steel case with careful finishing, brushed and polished accents, and a 44.5mm lug-to-lug measurement. The watch is powered by a hand-wound Seagull ST-1901 chronograph movement, with a regulated accuracy of -10/+15 seconds per day and a 50m water resistance rating. On balance, reviewers highlight the Studio Underd0g Classic Cheese (Gen3)'s creative dial design and wearable vintage case proportions as its strongest attributes.
