What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Maen Manhattan 40

Owners appreciate the Maen Manhattan 40's thin case and unique dial, with some finding its proportions too large for smaller wrists. One owner noted a snagging crown and difficult winding action. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +18s/d to +24s/d on the 37mm version, while another owner of the 40mm model did not specify accuracy. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Maen Manhattan 40 to be a good value, with its thinness and dial finishing being key strengths.

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.
