What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Oris Big Crown Diamonds

Owners widely praise the Oris Big Crown Diamonds for its timeless design, vintage charm, and recognizable details like cathedral hands and the pointer date function. Reviewers highlight the stunning gradient dial and the "Bullseye" tuxedo dial as particularly beautiful. The 38mm case is considered versatile, and the watch offers remarkable value. However, some owners note the standard Sellita movement has a short power reserve and plain finishing, and the strap is not durable. A reviewer points out slightly imperfect Super-LumiNova printing on the hour numerals, and one owner finds the two-tone bracelet overly flashy. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Oris Big Crown Diamonds highly for its unique design and value at its price point.

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon is widely praised for its creative, fun, and original design, with reviewers and owners alike highlighting its vibrant colors and ability to serve as a conversation starter. The watch is considered well-made for its price, featuring a unique aesthetic where a figure's leg indicates the hour and a rubber duck shows the minutes. Some owners report the blue nylon strap can be small in diameter. One reviewer noted the Milanese bracelet was too shiny and opted to brush it and the lugs for a more subdued look. The mechanical variant uses an STP1-11 automatic movement with a 44-hour power reserve and acceptable accuracy, while the quartz variant features a unique dial design with hour markers integrated into the watery visual. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon highly for its imaginative design and good value.
