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.

Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3)

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) for its vibrant blue dial that exhibits depth and liveliness under varying light, its fun and creative design, and its value as a mechanical chronograph. The Seagull 1901 movement provides column-wheel chronograph functionality, with one owner reporting accuracy around +6 seconds per day and satisfying chronograph pusher feel. However, the watch is criticized for a highly reflective, overly domed crystal and weak lume. Some owners find the 13.6mm thickness to be substantial. On balance, owners rate the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) highly for its engaging dial and value proposition as a mechanical chronograph.
