Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Farer CUSHION CASE

Owners widely praise the Farer CUSHION CASE for its vibrant gradient dials and distinctive case design featuring "bat-ear" lugs and a polished finish. The manual-wind Sellita SW216-1 movement is noted, though some owners question the choice over an automatic. Opinions are split on specific dial details, with some finding the grey numeral track on the salmon dial or eastern Arabic markings on the green dial unappealing, while others highlight the dimensionality of the red dial and the classy gold tone case. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Farer CUSHION CASE highly for its unique dial treatments and refined case design at its price point.

Makydo Contour

Owners widely praise the Makydo Contour's asymmetrical case shape and elegant design, finding it suitable for dressier occasions. Some owners note the leather strap is more appropriate for formal wear. The price of €587.39 is a point of contention, with several commenters questioning its value. Overall, owners appreciate the Makydo Contour's distinctive design, though its price is a recurring concern.

From video reviewers

The Makydo Contour is praised for its comfortable fit due to its slim case and compact lug-to-lug. The Miyota 9015/9039 automatic movement is considered reliable for the price point. The 30-meter water resistance is a noted limitation.
