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.

NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date

The NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date is widely praised for its high-quality stainless steel case, beautifully executed dial with a subtle slope and matte/metallic finish, and a well-integrated date window. Owners and reviewers consistently commend its design, finishing, comfort, and accuracy, with one report of +2 seconds per day. However, legibility is a mixed point, as some find the thin silver hands difficult to read against the grey dial in certain light, while others report no issues. The dial's shininess and the crystal's curvature are noted distractions, and the hour and minute hands are perilously close in length. The stock strap was too large for one reviewer's wrist. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Metro 38 date highly for its refined design and excellent finishing at its price point.
