I know some people like the futuristic IKEPOD, just too far out there.
Studio Underdog, one watch design, cool colors, none available.
Is the ST-1901 a reliable movement? It’s nice looking and I know it’s in the Seagull and other watches but is it durable.
Wow, Ikea makes watches, too? 😉 @$760 for a quartz, it's a bit beyond the budget of most Ikea shoppers.
The Skypod, with its NOS movement, is pretty cool, but costs as much as a Rolex Milgauss? The designs are unique in a subtle way, whereas the funky Studio Underd0g is much more "BAM!"
Ikepod’s style is not for everyone…including me.
Ikepod inspires mb&f founders to build a lot of the legacy machines. They are just too far ahead of its time. Now its no longer its own self thus you see quartz models for thousands. Too bad no good owners pick it up and build some great products. Though i feel its more original design than studio underdog which is fun and whimsy but not as breakthrough.
The Ikepod website pops up "We are setting your language and currency. Please wait a moment..!" and I can't make it go away, so the website is unusable. I was likely going to vote for Studio Underdog anyway, but Isopod, sorry, you lose!
I think StudioUnderDog could actually be the winner. Not just of this Battle but the whole micro War. Their popularity right now is off the charts, absolute SmokeShow! Love those Super Fun Dials... If only the price was Super Fun🙄
Poll closed for this matchup. Congratulations to Studio Underd0g.
I haven’t heard of this brand at all. Has anyone have experience with this company that can share there hands on experience with them. Stating how long they have had it and how good bad the Watch is holding up?! ✌🏾
