What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Makydo Contour

Owners widely praise the Makydo Contour Carrara for its asymmetrical case shape and elegant, classy design, deeming it suitable for dressier and formal occasions. Some owners find the included leather strap more fitting for such events. Several commenters, however, question its value, stating it is too expensive at €587.39. On balance, owners appreciate the Makydo Contour's distinctive design, though a segment of the community finds the price point prohibitive.

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.

Venezianico Nereide Ametista

Venezianico Nereide Ametista owners widely praise its striking amethyst-purple dial and proportions, with particular appreciation for the durable tungsten bezel, which is noted as highly resistant to scratches. The bracelet and bezel action also receive consistent positive remarks for their feel and functionality. The watch is frequently highlighted as an excellent choice for a first true dive watch, with its Italian manufacturing and development adding to its appeal. On balance, owners rate the Venezianico Nereide Ametista highly for its distinctive dial and robust, well-executed bezel at its price point.

From video reviewers

The 120-click unidirectional tungsten bezel is a strong point, offering excellent durability. The lume brightness could be improved, as the BGW9 Super-LumiNova is not as bright as some other watches in its class. Reviewers disagree on the standout feature of the watch, with one highlighting the unique dial and the other the sporty yet refined presence of the 42 mm stainless steel case.
