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 The Gimlet

Studio Underd0g The Gimlet is praised for its playful, layered dial construction featuring a textured sapphire disc over a luminous base, creating depth and animation, and its comfortable 38mm case dimensions. Owners note its attractive dial color and combination, though some find the design too similar to other models and question the aesthetic of the visible dial screws. The watch utilizes a reliable, tactile Sellita SW210-1 manual-wind movement. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Studio Underd0g The Gimlet highly for its unique dial construction and comfortable wearability.

Vario 1918 Medic Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Medic Brass for its crisp enamel dial, easy-to-read numerals, and cathedral hands, noting the brass case develops an attractive patina over time. However, the soft brass scratches easily, and one owner found the lume to be poor. Accuracy varies, with one example running slow by about 10 seconds per day and another owner deeming the Miyota 82s5 movement just okay. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Medic Brass highly for its unique dial and the evolving character of its brass case.
