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.

Zelos Mako 4

Owners widely praise Zelos' dial finishing, with specific admiration for blued markers and hands, and the unique titanium bezel insert. Reviewers highlight the Mako 4's impressive case finishing and fully lumed ceramic bezel for its price point, noting the boxed sapphire crystal and wavy dial texture contribute to a vintage feel. The Sellita SW200 movement is described as reliable, with one owner reporting accuracy of -0.3 seconds per day. However, the crown can be difficult to grip, and the winding mechanism offers resistance when screwing down, while the watch's height may hinder wearability under a suit cuff. The tropic rubber strap is considered excellent, in contrast to a stiff leather option. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Zelos Mako 4 highly for its exceptional dial and case finishing at its price point.
