Fortis Flieger F-39 Werk 7

The Fortis Flieger is widely praised for its superb readability, robust build quality, and phenomenal fit and finish, with reviewers noting the practical Type-A dial and utilitarian design. The F-39 models are noted to wear large due to their lug-to-lug distance, and the UW-30 movement offers a 38-hour power reserve, while other variants feature a 70-hour power reserve. On balance, reviewers highlight the Fortis Flieger's modern, stylish take on pilot's watches, balancing legibility with unique aesthetics.

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.
