What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

CWC G40 Sonar Quartz Watch

Owners widely appreciate the CWC G40 Sonar Quartz Watch for its classic G10 design, 40mm case size, and 20atm water resistance, noting its light, rugged, and reliable "grab-n-go" nature. Some find the dial proportions have too much negative space, while others praise its unique anodized red crown and quality NATO straps. A larger crown can dig into the wrist, and the lack of a battery hatch is a trade-off for its 100m water resistance. On balance, owners value the CWC G40 Sonar Quartz Watch for its robust build and classic aesthetic, though its price point and competition are frequently cited concerns.

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.
