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.

RZE Fortitude GMT

The RZE Fortitude GMT is widely praised for its lightweight titanium construction and durable UltraHex coating, offering exceptional value under $700. Owners and reviewers highlight its comfortable wearability, with a bracelet featuring a quick-adjust clasp and multiple micro-adjustment positions. The Miyota 9075 flyer GMT movement is noted for its accuracy, with one owner reporting -1 to +1 seconds per day, though another source states a range of -10/+30 seconds per day. The watch's design is appreciated for its soul and attention to detail, including a subtle red crown tube indicator and faceted lugs, and its Nimbus Grey dial features a coarse, sandpaper-like texture and fumé effect. A reviewer points out the rotor can be loud and a smaller screwdriver is needed for sizing, while an owner found the GMT hand lume confusing. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the RZE Fortitude GMT highly for its comfortable titanium build, durable coating, and excellent value.
