What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver

The Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver is a 40mm hand-wind watch with a black dial, acrylic crystal, and FKM rubber strap, powered by a Sellita SW210 manual wind movement. Owners report the watch gained one second per day, and it comes with a QC and timing report. Some find the Desk Diver a unique novelty, though many consider its $1500 price too high. The watch has 0 meters of water resistance, and its vintage case may show small marks. Overall, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Desk Diver as a unique novelty, with the primary reservation being its high price for its perceived playful nature.

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.
