Thanks Andrew! 🍉

Alternate title: “The quirky chronograph Rolex would never make”

This is what collecting is about. Having Fun! Less serious and more fun delivered in clean fashion

Finally! A great watch I would love to get for my collection. Let's hope Richard sells so much so that the process is sped up.

Honestly, I love this watch. I can’t wait to add it to my collection. The design is effortless without trying too hard and yet it stands out amongst the big boys. The fact this watch was created in lockdown is great. The perfect summer conversation piece watch! All the best for the future Richard!

Wow, quirky but understated. At that price they’ll go fast. Thanks for keeping the music!

A PLINKETT REFERENCE IN WATCHFINDER!!! I have how seen (and heard) everything. THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING.

I've seen this watch doing the rounds on youtube amongst other areas and it's soo cool!!

Above all else watches should be fun and these playful designs are just that! Bravo!!

There's an attention to detail with each of these watches which reveals itself when you realize that the hour markers are shaped like pips on the watermelon one, and chips on the mint one.

Love the design of those watches, very refreshing! (No pun intended). Like also the origin stories of the watermelon watch, sounds perfectly credible. I wonder if the strawberry idea comes from Richard (or maybe Rich or Ricky) falling into a pool full of cream with strawberries floating on the top??!!

I love the right subdial, the three part split looks so good

Fun and a fresh design. Thanks for posting

I like the fresh looks. And the dials textures are great. Most of the value of the watch Is in the dial, which is fine with me, it's what I see when I look at a watch.

Interesting dials but not sure why these are considered a bargain when you can buy a pretty much identical spec Sugess watch with the same movement for less than a third of the price (£150). Seems a hell of a markup.

Did not expect a Plinkett quote in a WF video. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!

I like the Desert Sky model. Studio Underdog has succeeded in quickly producing a readily identifiable and on-trend design. The Seagull ST1901 is a cheap workhouse movement with blue painted screws. For 500 quid I'm not sure I'd spring for one... but I'm tempted.

I love the water melon, actually I would be happy with any of them. Another unverified rumour was that following a localised water melon storm Richard trod in a melon while eating a certain type of ice cream and thought "it's a good job I didn't drop my watch in that", causing a cascade of neurons fighting to form a thought about what if the watch did land in that water melon or ice cream. The rest as they say is history.

Awesome watches. Love all the colours and attention to detail. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for showing a micro brand on your channel. Would love to see more! I am all for small business revival

Great job. Eloquent as always

My man Andrew and his team killing it again 👏 ❤️

Pre-ordered the Strawberry and Cream model. Expected in December - excited :)

Bought the Desert Sky during the Kickstarter campaign. A very satisfying watch, even at current prices

I like the seagull, I like the design, but I can't help but feel a bit of disconnect between the components and price.

Beautiful classy time piece. Great vid.

Cool and unique design indeed. Bravo studio underd0g!

Love these watches. If only they were available!

In think you need to review a Farer… they make some interesting looking pieces and have been considered by some reviewers as the kings of Microbrands… I’d really enjoy your take on their build quality, case finishing and movements, maybe even their bracelets if you can get one in on a bracelet… besides, they’re British

Interesting watch and with the market being so competitive every effort to stand out helps.

To be fairly honest, you’d be better of getting an original seagull instead for just under $140,-.

Very Nice ! love the watermelon not sure what colour I would choose. Underdog is new to me Thanks *Watchfinder & Co.*

wonderful design & good video with narration. Attention to detail by designer., like water melon model has markers in seed shape & ice cream model has markers in chocolate chips shape.. amazing !!

I'm not so sure as everyone else. At £500 that makes for a very expensive Seagull movement. At 38mm its also on the small side and also, my last Tissot was under £500 as was my last Seiko GMT... I'm a budget collector and though I love the fun colours and the great design, I'm still not sure....

The story about the watermelon was hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣

Wow .. Mr. Plinkett even gets a shout out! That made me smile.

Ahhh, an affordable chronograph most people can admire

I'm one of few that actually use my chronographs. I use them to calculate billable hours for clients, and therefore, I need to calculate that time in hours, not 30 minute increments. Useless for me, but I still appreciate the unconstrained artistic approach.

These are so awesome! And, it's not every being compared to a Rolex!!!! Thank you

Great hearing an RLM quote in there!

I so want the blue dial. hope I get it this year.

In our country there was an advertisement for Czech Prim watches, and in that advertisement they said that Prim watches are the fastest. logic is (not) magic

Wish they could make them 36mm I doubt there is a movement that would make it work. My partner loves it but a 39mm looks likes she’s taped a stopwatch to her wrist.

You’ve mentioned the challenge of getting your work in front of interested people, including those who may have already liked and subscribed. I’m glad you’ve dropped the Rolex titles, perhaps linking and shouting out other related videos will help - “If you enjoyed this watch story perhaps you’ll enjoy our interview with Richard, or for another interesting micro brand challenging traditional aesthetics try…” instead of the generic “like and subscribe” and random suggestions that were at the end of this one. Link in the description might also help keep people on the channel a little longer each trip. Secret Base do this well on their channel if you’re looking for an example of what I mean - you would be better to strike a different tone consistent with your work rather than their more casual jokey approach, but the principle is transferable.

I like the watch overall, especially the watermelon is surprisingly nice, I just can't get past that hipster logo and the general choice of the fonts used.

I remember he said he's working on a field watch. I'm sure he's gonna do something interesting/funky/studio -underd0gy with the font because numerals are the most prominent aspect of a field watch.

I would love a mint choc chip!

I really appreciated the Mr Plinkett shout-out. Red Letter Media does great work, and I'm subscribed to both your channels 💌

I noticed that the upcoming rerelease of these watches has hiked the price up to £800!

Hey, another wonderful review as usual. btw we emailed you about reviewing our new watches. Gentle reminder in case it's dumped into your junk folder.

God bless Richard and I hope we have more like him in the future... However while there are some elements of this watch I like, other parts will haunt me until the end of my days (honestly I'm scared to go to bed tonight). :) Personal taste aside, WE NEED MORE WATCHES LIKE THIS! To quote my avatar and other passion , if Dr Ferdinand Porsche didn't do something crazy converting his family car vision into a 2 door sports coupe, what would supercars look like today? Well done Richard.

You cannot find them , nice dial .Limited editions and waiting list 'tricks ... just to keep the prices up obviously

I like the blue version of the watch. The panda is cool too

I noticed the watermelon design has watermelon seeds for the hour markers and the mint choc chip has choc chips.

The seed indexes on that melon❤

Please can you review a certina? I only came across the brand recently. Are they any good?

The desert sky is my 😍 favorite

I like the watch and I like you looking at it.

The watches look good, and the commentary is very haha 😝, and I would so love to own that watermelon even if I cannot ever see when I’d ever wear it…

Why not title it "This watch does something Rolex never could" 😉

The design is great but the Chinese movement puts me off. Please review Citizen nb1060-12l! The dial is amazing and it's it's incredible how the lacquering is done by hand, considering it's price point.

And when you think watchmaking can’t evolve..Very nice. Very unique.

YOOOO WITH THE RLM REFERENCE

I’ve just ordered the watermelon in the second production run. Apparently 3500 orders were made within hours of the launch of the second series. Amazing for a young microbrand.

Fantastic video - own 🍉 and 🍃 🍫 🍟. The blue is based on a Nike 👟 Andrew - assume you knew that but just in case 😂

You've already reviewed this watch like a month ago.🙁 if you can please do a review of the Devon Tread.

"Raised by wild watermelon"..... These are just brilliant videos. As for the watches - Want one. Of each. Immediately.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Stop talking about this watch.. Its a secret.. A great one at that.. If we keep talking about it.. I wont be able to get one this September....

This is a cool one

Damn that's so cool

Serica 5303 please!

Would love to buy it, but seems to be harder to find than… a Rolex?

Good looking watch but why make it so small?

Love it

'pirate panda',maybe even funnier.

Hmmmm.... I like the dial, but when I can get microbrand watches with e.g. a Seiko NH35 automatic movement for under £200 I'm not sure I'd go £500 for a manually wound Seagull movement. I'd be interested to see how he reinvests the profits in future lines though... edit: Also I am here all day for Mr Plinkett references

Can you hear these tick? I had a watch with this movement and it was quite loud.

I'm on the list for this watch. I want it so bad. He just launched a strawberry but I don't want strawberries - I want watermelon

Gonna crash that site now

Seagull! When do the European Venus version revive?

Amazing watches 🐼

Great watch great video

Prolly can’t get it now after it’s been featured here

They look nice

I want one ☝🏻

You actually quoted Mr Plinkett! 🤣 🍉

I was also thinking watermelon 🍉

Wasn’t expecting an RLM reference.

It broke new ground!

I love the design sense. But the China movement turns me off. I know lots of stuff is made in China, but something on my wrist that reminds of Taiwan and the Uighurs is a tough one. Why not just a tried and true ETA? Or something that less heavy on the guilt.

the hour markers has watermelon seeds! 🍉🍉🍉

ThunderD0gs are Go!

Unconventional and beautiful

Inspired by food and not by nature which is a refreshing change. Perhaps his next inspiration will come from a popular drink, a Tom Colin’s or Irish pint of stout. What ever it will be I’m sure we will love it 🥑🥥🍩🥃🥤🥤🎉

Nice ❤️

now these watch are over 5000 dollars😮

But is it better than a rolex? We must know!

I've been waiting for that watch to arrive since April 2022. WTF?

Watermelon Panda...
