What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

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.

Sternglas Marus

The Sternglas Marus is widely praised for its well-built, heavy feel and excellent bezel action, considered the best in its price range. Despite its 42mm diameter and 52mm lug-to-lug, owners report it fits surprisingly well on slim wrists. A reviewer notes the short seconds hand as a drawback, but highlights the watch as a fun, affordable starting point for a collection, featuring a vibrant Pepsi bezel and an anthracite dial that shifts in appearance, powered by a Miyota 8215 movement for €399. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Marus highly for its robust build and superior bezel at its price point.
