Makydo Makydo 42vsSpinnaker Fleuss

The Makydo 42 is noted to wear larger than its 40mm sibling due to chunkier, taller proportions. Owners question the value proposition, with one noting the use of Miyota 9000 series movements and a price point around $200, while another seeks better value and quality from the brand. Overall, owners find the Makydo 42 to be a well-constructed and aesthetically pleasing daily wear, with finishing and bracelet quality surpassing expectations.

The Spinnaker Fleuss is praised for its retro design, textured dial, and good value, especially with discounts, offering a Blancpain Fifty-Five homage. Owners report superb build quality and finish for the price, with one noting it looks better in person than in website photos. The dial is well lumed, and the watch keeps good time with a decent power reserve. However, some find the 43mm case on the larger side, and one owner found the included leather strap too thick. Concerns have been raised about the acrylic bezel's durability and the watch's origin in Hong Kong. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Spinnaker Fleuss highly for its attractive design and strong build quality at its price point.
