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.

Yema Diver

One owner reported a water ingress issue on their Yema Diver the first time it got wet in a lake, despite rinsing and inspecting the watch and bezel. Another owner notes this manual wind Yema Diver has a cool patina but is unlikely to be waterproof or gain value. Overall, owners view the Yema Diver as a fun second watch rather than an investment.

From video reviewers

The Swiss Sellita movement is a notable feature. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on any weaknesses.
