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 Twelve X Black Shadow

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow for its exceptional titanium finishing, dynamic case design, and skeletonized COSC-certified SH21 movement with a 120-hour power reserve. Some owners note sharp edges on bracelet links and unfinished interior clasp surfaces, while reviewers mention legibility issues common to skeletonized watches and a thickness of 12.3mm making it feel chunkier than other models. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Christopher Ward Twelve X Black Shadow highly for its impressive in-house movement and titanium finishing at its price point.

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.
