What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Hamilton Khaki Aviation Air Race Auto

Owners widely praise the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Air Race Auto for its legibility and practicality, with some appreciating its countdown bezel and GMT pointer. However, opinions on its design are split, with some calling it a "Frankenstein" and disliking the skeleton hands, while others find the hands suitable for a pilot watch. One owner notes the lume is underwhelming and the 44mm size may be too large for some wrists. The original strap is also described as uncomfortable and prone to water stains. On balance, owners value the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Air Race Auto for its legibility and practical features, despite a polarizing design and some comfort concerns.

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.
