What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Citizen Series 8 880

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Citizen Series 8 880 GMT's killer case, bracelet, and textured dial, with some noting its muscular, angular design and compelling two-tone ion plating. The true GMT movement is considered technically solid, and the watch offers 100m water resistance. However, some find the Citizen Series 8 880 GMT a tad bulky or chunky, and its stated accuracy of -10/+20 seconds per day is a broad bandwidth. A reviewer flagged a simplistic typeface on the bezel's 24-hour scale and a mismatched white date wheel, while the pin-and-collar bracelet system and lack of micro-adjustment were noted as tedious. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Citizen Series 8 880 GMT highly for its robust travel watch features and striking design elements.

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.
