What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Jack Mason Canton

The Jack Mason Canton is praised for its high-quality finishing, sophisticated appearance, and robust build, with owners finding it stunning in person and noting its scratch-resistant coating holds up well. Reviewers highlight its slim 10.8mm profile, hard-coated 39mm steel case with brushed and polished finishes, and a sunray dial with applied markers featuring Super-LumiNova. The La Joux Perret G100 automatic movement is a point of appreciation for its 68-hour power reserve and accuracy reported between ±7 sec/day and losing about 5 seconds per day. Owners also commend its versatile, simple design, comfortable wearability, and the option of an upgraded bracelet, with some finding its overall build and movement comparable to more expensive timepieces. However, some find the polished center links unappealing and the design a bit boring, while others feel the case proportions are stubby with short lugs.

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.
