Studio Underd0g SalmonvsTissot PR516

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Salmon for its unique, two-layered dial inspired by salmon skin, featuring a radially brushed metallic orange-pink lower part and a coarse, silvery dégradé shimmer upper part. The watch is powered by a decorated Swiss mono pusher movement with silky smooth winding, blued screws, and anthracite bridges, which one owner finds impressive. Accuracy is reported at ±5 seconds per day. Some owners find the £1700-£1800 price point difficult, especially given styling similarities to previous models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Studio Underd0g Salmon highly for its distinctive dial design and well-finished, smooth-winding monopusher movement.

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Tissot PR516 for its retro styling and value, with many highlighting its well-finished dial and bezel execution. The manual-wind chronograph variant is noted for its impressive movement and accessible price point, while the automatic chronograph is described as rugged with a clean dial and cool color scheme. However, some owners find the dial bland, and the automatic chronograph's slab-sided case and weight lead to a clumsy wear experience. The mineral glass bezel insert on the automatic chronograph deviates from the original's flush design, and the movement finishing is considered simplistic. One owner of the Powermatic variant expressed disappointment with its fixed bezel, deeming it a marketing gimmick. On balance, enthusiasts rate the Tissot PR516 highly for its vintage-inspired design and horological substance at an accessible price.
