What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Dan Henry 1962

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1962 for its legibility and attractive panda dial, noting its value under $300. However, some find its quartz chronograph functionality limited. One owner reports strap fitting difficulties due to tight tolerances and poor lume that fades quickly, with glowing sub-dial hands hindering legibility. Another owner describes black hands on black sub-dials as an issue for visibility. On balance, owners rate the Dan Henry 1962 highly for its attractive panda dial and value, despite some concerns about its quartz chronograph functionality and legibility.

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.
