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.

Grand Seiko SBGH263

The Grand Seiko SBGH263 is praised for its excellent finishing for the price, with reviewers comparing it to Jaeger-LeCoultre. Owners and reviewers highlight the stunning 'Shironeri' dial and gold hands/numerals, and the 39.5mm case size is considered a perfect fit, referencing vintage Grand Seiko models. The watch features a 55-hour power reserve from its 36,000 BPH movement, though one reviewer felt the date aperture was unnecessary. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Grand Seiko SBGH263 highly for its exceptional dial and finishing at its price point.
