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.

Phoibos Apollo

The Phoibos Apollo is widely praised for its unique design, outstanding lume, and lightweight titanium build, with owners highlighting its comfortable 41mm wearability and value powered by a Miyota 9015 movement. Some find the "rocket" hand design hinders quick time-telling, and the bracelet does not taper. A few owners consider its price point high relative to other titanium and bronze offerings. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Apollo highly for its distinctive aesthetic and excellent lume at the price.
