What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

AVI-8 Dambuster Operation Catechism 80th Dual Time Chronograph Limited Edition

The AVI-8 Dambuster Operation Catechism 80th Dual Time Chronograph Limited Edition features a dial that is considered neither boring nor overly loud, with case finishing described as acceptable for its price point. Its 43mm meca-quartz design is inspired by Avro Lancaster bomber cockpits and includes a 24-hour subdial with red accents, priced at US$255. The meca-quartz movement provides quartz accuracy and a sweep-second hand, though it is noted as less smooth than an automatic. However, its 51mm lug-to-lug measurement causes it to wear large on wrists up to 17.5cm. Overall, owners find the AVI-8 Dambuster Operation Catechism 80th Dual Time Chronograph Limited Edition to be a well-designed watch for its price, with its primary drawback being its substantial lug-to-lug measurement.

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.
