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.

Galo Novo Cruisin

Owners widely praise the Galo Novo Cruisin's attractive specs and price, with many calling it a perfect summer watch and appreciating its clean, refreshing, and beautiful design. The bronze case variant features "killer lume" that glows blue-green and looks great in the sun, and the watch is comfortable enough for constant wear. However, owners are split on the 38mm/39mm sizing, with some finding it too small and others preferring sub-40mm cases. Significant frustration exists regarding Galo's communication, with owners citing rolling delays, a perceived lack of transparency, and misleading timelines, leading to a negative customer service impression and some considering order cancellations. One owner noted their crown does not screw in. Overall, owners rate the Galo Novo Cruisin highly for its aesthetic appeal and value, despite significant concerns about production communication and transparency.
