What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Sternglas Berlin Automatik

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Berlin Automatik for its handsome, clean dial and a 38mm size that fits smaller wrists well, making it a comfortable daily wearer. The case is described as solid and well-finished. However, the Miyota 8205 movement is noted as reliable but noticeably loud, and the exhibition caseback is unadorned. Some owners find the watch too simple and question the value, citing basic movement and strap choices for the price, with a few feeling the proportions and day/date complication are off. Overall, owners appreciate the Sternglas Berlin Automatik for its classic design and wearability, though some debate its value proposition.

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.
