Mr Jones Watches Beam me up!

Mr Jones Watches Beam me up! is widely praised for its fun, unique design and conversational appeal, with owners highlighting the sharp, color-by-color printed dial and layered dial that creates an interesting technical build. The UFO beam indicating minutes and a piglet indicating hours are noted as appealing to sci-fi fans, and the watch is described as a satisfying daily wear and a great conversation starter. Some owners wish the brand would update its lugs, and one user finds the pig hour marker off-putting. The watch uses a quartz movement, and legibility of the hour pig can be difficult, with the minute reading being more of a range than precise. Overall, owners rate Mr Jones Watches Beam me up! highly for its fun, unique design and conversational appeal.
