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.

Sternglas Naos Solar

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos Solar for its elegant Bauhaus-inspired minimalist dial, slim profile, and value for money. The scratch-resistant curved sapphire crystal and functional date mechanism are noted as durable features, with one owner reporting good wear over a year. The solar power and accuracy are highlighted as practical advantages over automatic movements, which some find loud. However, opinions are split, with some owners finding the watch underwhelming and cheap-looking, like a toy, while others love its appearance in person and its clean, appealing design as a smartwatch alternative. The stock leather strap is described as decent but basic and potentially short for larger wrists, with one owner advising a third-party replacement for durability. One owner of a different variant noted the date font is too small to be useful.
