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 SBGJ237

Grand Seiko SBGJ237 owners and reviewers praise its impeccable finishing, Hi-Beat 36,000vph movement, and functional GMT complication. The watch is noted for its good value at €7,000, featuring a stainless steel bracelet with alternating brushed and polished surfaces, and a sapphire bezel with a day/night indicator. Reviewers highlight the lovely lume and the bezel's vintage-inspired, asymmetric color split, which uses LumiBrite for low-light legibility. The 9S86 Hi-Beat movement offers impressive accuracy of -5 to +3 seconds per day and a 55-hour power reserve. The SBGJ237 boasts 200-meter water resistance. However, the 44.2mm case size, measuring 14.4mm thick, may require slightly larger wrists, and its elevated crystal and less prominent bezel contribute to a thickness that might feel less substantial in person. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the Grand Seiko SBGJ237 for its combination of finishing, movement technology, and GMT functionality at its price point.
