What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Makydo Mystic Blue

Owners widely praise the Makydo Mystic Blue for its aesthetic appeal, impeccable finishing on the case and bracelet, and its sunburst dial. The 38mm size is noted to wear comfortably, closer to 39mm. Some owners report the clasp takes time to get used to for smooth operation.

Nodus Obscura II

The Nodus Obscura II is widely praised for its novel "Exposure Gauge Complication" bezel, designed for film photographers using the Sunny 16 rule, and its iridescent dial that resembles mother of pearl. Owners also highlight the top-notch bracelet with micro-adjustment and the accessible $650 price point. Some find the bezel concept a bit gimmicky. The watch features a 38mm steel case, a TMI NH38 movement, 100m water resistance, and a box sapphire crystal. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Obscura II highly for its creative complication and iridescent dial at an accessible price.
