What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue

The NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue is praised for its haute horology aesthetics, gorgeous movement, and striking handset, with one owner finding its 13,800 € price well worth it for the full gold case, large power reserve display, and hand-engraved movement. However, reviewers note its high-gloss enamel dial can be reflective, and some owners find its 42mm size wears large due to the thin bezel and dial proportion, while its price is considered steep by some. Opinions are split on the large power reserve display, with some finding it "weird" and others appreciating its "steampunk vibes." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the NOMOS Glashütte Lambda deep blue for its impressive movement and unique aesthetic, though its size and price are points of consideration.

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.
