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 Watermelon (Gen3)

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Watermelon (Gen3) for its fun, entrepreneurial, and affordable nature, with a design described as "Bauhaus meets Bugs Bunny." However, some find its colors a love-it-or-hate-it feature and others perceive the overall quality and finishing as a tier below comparable watches. Accuracy figures are not specified, but one owner found the watch too thick for their taste. The chronograph function has been noted as potentially sticky or jumpy. On balance, owners are divided on the Studio Underd0g Watermelon (Gen3), with opinions split between its unique design and perceived value for money.

Zelos Vitesse

Owners widely praise the Zelos Vitesse for its vintage motorsport design and striking dial options, with particular appreciation for the salmon and panda configurations and their finishing. The bracelet, clasp, and overall value at $1200 are frequently highlighted as strong points. Some owners note the watch sits high on the wrist, and a few have observed minor cosmetic imperfections on subdials. The La Joux Perret L100 movement's accuracy varies, with one report of +5 seconds per day, and several owners find the winding action stiff and noisy, the pushers sticky, and the screw-down crown's feel underwhelming. On balance, owners rate the Zelos Vitesse highly for its captivating dial and strong value proposition, despite some reservations about the chronograph's operational feel and case height.
