What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Ferro Distinct 3

Owners widely praise the Ferro Distinct 3 for its improved screw-down crown and centered date complication. However, some find the watch too large, and one owner dislikes the dial for being busy, though the necessity of outer markers for single-hand legibility is noted. The flat sapphire crystal lacks anti-reflective coating, and the dial has no lume. One owner received an NH35A movement instead of the advertised Miyota 9015. Overall, owners appreciate the functional improvements and specific design choices of the Ferro Distinct 3, despite some concerns about size and dial clarity.

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.
