What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Makydo 38

Owners widely praise the Makydo 38 for its excellent finishing and comfortable wearability as a daily watch. The mosaic dial and leather watch roll are noted as distinctive inclusions. However, some question its value proposition at the stated price point, and one owner reported a negative customer service experience; opinion on the asymmetrical case shape is split, with some finding it interesting and classy while others are less convinced. Overall, owners rate the Makydo 38 highly for its finishing quality and practical daily-wear comfort, though pricing remains a point of contention in the community.

Pagani Design PD-1755

Owners widely report a polarizing design for the Pagani Design PD-1755, with specific criticisms leveled at the dial and bezel color coordination and the mix of curvy and pointy numerals. Some owners find the faux patina to be an "ugly yellow/orange" and express a preference for different crystal shapes. However, the all-brushed finish and clasp receive positive mentions, and some appreciate the retro-future vibe of the bezel contrast. On balance, the consensus is that the Pagani Design PD-1755 is a watch whose design elements divide opinion, with its finishing being a notable positive for some owners.

From video reviewers

The Seiko NH35 automatic movement and sapphire crystal are cited as strengths. The bezel action is mentioned as a weakness. Reviewers disagree on the water resistance rating.
