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 SLGB006

The Grand Seiko SLGB006 is praised for its stunning "Ice Forest at Dawn" textured dial and 37mm 18k yellow gold case, with some finding it gorgeous enough to wear even if they don't typically prefer gold watches. It houses the Spring Drive Calibre 9RB2 movement, noted for its "Ultra Fine Accuracy" of ±20 seconds per year and a 72-hour power reserve. However, the Grand Seiko SLGB006 is considered expensive by some, with a price of $43,600 or €44,700 for its limited production of 80 pieces, and one owner suggests alternatives offer a more refined feel. The watch lacks the Evolution 9 micro-adjustment system. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Grand Seiko SLGB006's striking dial and movement accuracy as its primary strengths, despite its high price point and limited availability.
