S.U.F Helsinki 180 Kelo BluevsGarrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds

Owners widely praise the S.U.F Helsinki 180 Kelo Blue for its exceptional case finishing and attention to detail, with some highlighting the "Kelo Blue" variant's Cali dial and the proprietary Scandi-noir typeface numerals on its dark silver fumé dial. Reviewers note its thoughtful design, thin 8.9mm case, and comfortable wearability, finding it more refined than mass-produced field watches. One reviewer expressed personal opposition to the date complication. The S.U.F Helsinki 180 Kelo Blue features a Soprod A10 automatic movement and has 100m water resistance, with a 38.7mm case. Its price point is noted as being high. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the S.U.F Helsinki 180 Kelo Blue highly for its refined design and exceptional finishing at its size.

The Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds is praised for its handcrafted dial and movement, featuring an in-house Calibre DB-G06 manual-wind movement with a deadbeat seconds complication. Reviewers note the movement is regulated to within +3 seconds per day. The 42mm stainless steel case is 10mm thick and offers 100m water resistance. A significant drawback is the long lead time, with one source stating at least a year and another specifying 16 months, and the watch is limited to 10 produced annually. On balance, reviewers highlight the bespoke nature and in-house craftsmanship as key strengths of the Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds, despite the considerable wait time.
