Makydo Makydo 38vsUndone Aero Commando

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.

The Undone Aero Commando earns consistent praise for its vintage aviator aesthetic and finishing quality at its price point. Reviewers highlight the fashionable P.V.H. Weems-inspired design, the distinctive rotating bezel with 60-second scale and screw-down lock, the chamfered lugs with sharp finishing, and the super-domed polycarbonate crystal that delivers an attractive retro look—though polycarbonate scratches more easily than mineral glass. The comfortable Italian leather strap and well-proportioned case shape drew extended wear approval from one reviewer, who found no faults across weeks of use. The Cordura strap variant is noted as initially stiff, and the Lexan crystal can reflect light. Priced at $365 USD (€354), it pairs the Seiko NH35 automatic movement with 100m water resistance and quick-release spring bars. Overall, reviewers rate the Aero Commando highly for its thoughtful vintage design execution and case finishing quality relative to its cost.
