What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Corso

Citizen Corso owners widely praise its value, with many noting its accurate Eco-Drive movement keeping time within a few seconds per month. The sunburst silver dial and elegant blue dial options are frequently highlighted for their attractive, light-catching qualities suitable for various occasions. The stainless steel case is considered durable, and the metal bracelet's links are described as substantial. Some models feature day and date complications. However, reviewers note the polished steel case can be overly shiny and a fingerprint magnet, and the original leather bands have an unpleasant lining. One owner questions the 40mm dial size for smaller wrists, and the bracelet has a stamped clasp without micro-adjustments, though it includes two half links. Overall, owners rate the Citizen Corso highly for its impressive value and classic dial aesthetics at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Citizen Corso features a convenient Eco-Drive movement that eliminates battery changes by utilizing light for power. A weakness of the Citizen Corso is its mineral crystal, which is less scratch-resistant than sapphire.

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.
