What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Christopher Ward The Twelve

Christopher Ward The Twelve is widely praised for its excellent value, comfortable and thin titanium case, and COSC-certified movements. Owners and reviewers highlight the lightweight feel and attractive finishing. However, some find the dial design lacks originality, and one owner noted sharp edges on bracelet links and unfinished clasp interiors, leading to a return. The skeletonized dial on The Twelve X, while a selling point, can impact legibility, and the case chamfers may be prone to dings. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Christopher Ward The Twelve highly for its comfortable titanium construction and strong 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.

From video reviewers

The Makydo Contour is praised for its comfortable fit due to its slim case and compact lug-to-lug. The Miyota 9015/9039 automatic movement is considered reliable for the price point. The 30-meter water resistance is a noted limitation.
