What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Bell & Ross BR-03 Chrono Blacktrack

Owners widely appreciate the Bell & Ross BR-03 Chrono Blacktrack for its unique square, military-inspired, stealthy all-black ceramic design and dial styled like a motorcycle's cooling grid, finding it a refreshing alternative to common styles. Reviewers note the watch's surprising wearability, particularly with flared straps, and its futuristic design with personality. Accuracy figures vary, with one source reporting +10 seconds per day for the ETA 2894-2 based BR-CAL.301 movement, which has a 42-hour power reserve. Some owners criticize the use of rebranded base movements and significant depreciation, while one reviewer found the padded, quilted strap less comfortable than usual and noted poor lume. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Bell & Ross BR-03 Chrono Blacktrack well for its distinctive, personality-filled design.

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.
