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.

Pinion Pure Steel

Owners widely praise the Pinion Pure Steel's balanced 38mm case size and 44mm lug-to-lug, fitting most wrists well. The dial is described as clear and essential, though reviewers note the lack of a minute track makes precise minute setting difficult. Accuracy is regulated in-house to +/- 5 to +/- 15 seconds per day. Some commenters found the white straps on featured watches to look "horrible." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Pinion Pure Steel for its well-proportioned case and essential dial design.
