crazy value from this microbrand [Makydo Mosaic 38]

[@adk7962]

That’s an insane price. And at that price I think people would be willing to overlook some the of minor issues. Thanks for the great review!

[@EscapeWheel]

Agreed. Thanks for watching!

These are very elegant with similar designs as many D1 Milano models with identical bracelets (I own a few of these two brands). To unlock, use thumb and trigger finger to make an okay sign to hold at the clasp and pull gently.

I've never been a big fan of this style but that isn't too bad. It really needs brushed hands that are a tad wider. It looked like they got washed out in your outdoor footage so brushed hands might help its legibility. Size looks perfect though and great to see they made it thin.

I bought, the onyx mosaic for £200 shipped with a free carry case , and I had some issues but still thought it was good value. The movement was solid and showed fantastic accuracy averaged over positions (8s variance) and in real world. Issues were a burr on the bracelet between every single brushed and polished surface. It took me an hour and a half to remove that myself with ceramic abrasive sticks. The fixed links being fixed to the case is an issue for me, no flex. The crown is too small. I replaced the crown myself. Clasp is also too stiff. I replaced the clasp with a push-button butterfly clasp for about £6. I then picked up an orange automatic for literally half that in the sale. It actually had worse issues. Chamfer on the bracelet was ridiculously inconsistent, meaning you have to remove/replace links in the same order they came. And the movement performed poorly (variance of 22s over positions). Every other issue was the same. I look forward to modding it, on that basis £100 is a very good deal for a modding platform containing a 9015, let alone a working watch with such a nice look. Unlike every other slimline integrated advertized at 8.9mm thick (but measures 9.3). This one is ACTUALLY 9.0mm thick including crystal.

I would definitely have liked a screwdown crown, too. Well noted about the lack of dial lume. It would cost next to nothing to add those tiny dots at least on the quarter markers.

Half links needed and at 38mm, it shouldn’t be 52mm long so I agree. Female end links are needed and hopefully it gets the lug to lug under 48

[@scottlauren3145]

Less than a minute in and I see a butterfly clasp with zero half links or adjustment and that's an immediate hard pass. Good looking watch overall though

[@h.m.2434]

These do come with half link

[@alanwright3172]

Although the quartz watches are worth the SALE price I had to return an automatic and it's replacement because the crown stems were faulty. 😐

[@EscapeWheel]

Well that's a bummer...zero issues with mine FWIW 🤷

Good review 👍. I don't understand why companies use butterfly clasps on integrated bracelets. Most of the time that's the only option you've got, so it really needs to be comfortable, so fitting a clasp with no adjustment is so stupid. Yes half links can help a bit, but you're still left with a watch that cannot be adjusted when the owners wrist swells in hot weather, just fit a normal clasp and it isn't a lottery as to whether you get a good fit or not!

[@EscapeWheel]

@@dunderhay9169 agree. I get that it looks cleaner, but convenience wins every time when it comes to a clasp

[@dunderhay9169]

@EscapeWheel They must lose loads of online sales, I've avoided integrated watches, but have just bought one, because I got it for £34 delivered. If it doesn't fit, I'll try fitting an alternative clasp myself.

[@himangshumahanta5398]

Do they provide half links?

[@lazycat56889]

+$15 I believe

[@himangshumahanta5398]

@lazycat56889 Disappointing. Half links should be provided free of cost with any integrated bracelet watch imo.

[@lazycat56889]

@@himangshumahanta5398 Agree, they raise the price, it was free excluding shipping.

[@peetiegonzalez1845]

One half link comes included. technically you don't need more.

[@UTOOOOOOOY]

that name is, hard to digest to be honest.

@@UTOOOOOOOY hard to pronounce, too 😜

[@ccr6042]

incredible price for a 9015

[@ccr6042]

But TBH, I'm starting being bored by all those integrated bracelet watches :)

[@guidine7]

Too small to my mind

[@jcx911]

Having received one of these watches about a month ago I can assure you, unless you're an NFL player or 75+ lbs overweight, the size is far from small on wrist. It's a staggering value, especially the colour ways currently selling for under $150 USD.
