The short answer

The closest alternative to the Mr Jones Watches The Ascendent is the Bulova Green Dial Leather Strap David and Gladys Wright House 96B486 ($625) — common cross-shop and Playful dial. If price is the constraint, the Timex Peanuts x Timex Expedition Scout 40mm Silicone Strap Watch at $129 (vs $345 for the The Ascendent) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless morning is the standout microbrand take — playful dial and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Bulova Black Dial Leather Strap Bison 96A333 ($750) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
