Owners + reviewers, side by side
Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners widely praise the Fortis Original for its tool-watch aesthetic, legibility, and robust construction, with many noting excellent lume that lasts all night and precise day/date changes at midnight. The brushed stainless steel case is well-finished, and the 38mm size is considered comfortable and well-weighted despite being smaller than modern watches. Accuracy figures range from +2 seconds/day to +8 seconds/day, and some owners compare Fortis quality favorably to Omega. However, some users find the MSRP too high compared to brands like Sinn and Damasko, and one owner reported internal parts dislodging from a limited edition model. Concerns have also been raised about stripped lug screws on B-42 models and potential parts shortages due to past bankruptcy protection filings. Overall, owners rate the Fortis Original highly for its durable construction and tool-watch functionality at a competitive price point.
Owners and reviewers praise Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless morning for its creative, original designs and novelty at an affordable price, with a unique time-telling mechanism. Some owners find the stretched lugs on the 37mm case design awkward on smaller wrists, while others note the lack of a seconds hand detracts from practicality. One reviewer found the Milanese bracelet too shiny but noted the watch's comfortable wear and ability to provoke thought. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless morning highly for its gorgeous appearance and attention to detail at the price.
