Sea, Air, Land..... where's SUs trinity lol

My heart says Studio Underd0g, my head says Zelos. I don’t own either brand, but if I ask myself “If you could only have one watch, and it had to be either a Zelos or a SU, which would you choose?” … I think it’d be Zelos.

·

Zelos seems great, however, I believe that Studio Underdog’s use of color is really game-changing. Their ability to have fun while making an amazing watch is truly second to none.

My vote goes to #studiounderd0g I’m not a fan of #zelos

Hey I'll buy you that slice and trade it for your crimson beauty 😍

Oh man. This one is on upset alert 🚨

·

What a match we have hereeee‼️‼️

·

Zelos for me. Studio Underd0g has been a breath of fresh air with the colors, but it kind of feels like that's all it is so far.

Zelos has more tricks.

Poll closed for this matchup. Congratulations to Zelos!

This was another one that came right down to the wire, but Zelos won 895 to 886. Talk about a neck and neck match with almost 1800 votes. Kudos to both brands.

See my note above, 895-886 Zelos. I am just about to update the bracket.

The Fulan Marri/Habring match was won by 3 votes. Crazy that there are so many close matches.

Having fun with it. Zelos lost last year and Formex won. Thanks for the little bit of fun. 🥂

Went with Zelos while I like the fun use of color from SU. The majority of my collection is Zelos/Seiko for a reason. They have a large collection of watches with consistently high level of finishing, customer service, quality, lume, and interesting dial options at very reasonable pricing. Including the most worn watch in my collection, incidentally one of their less popular dials, picture attached

Wearing that one right now. 😁

Zelos for the win 👌
