What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz

The Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz is widely praised for its high-accuracy Swiss Made ETA F06.412 HeavyDrive-PreciDrive quartz movement, rated at +/- 10 seconds per year, and its tritium lume. Reviewers and owners highlight its functional tool-watch appeal, noting the sandblasted steel case with an asymmetric design, excellent bi-directional bezel action, and drilled lug holes. Some owners find it perfectly suited for sport/rugged use, though not necessarily as an everyday watch. One owner points out that the case's distinctive asymmetry deviates from current aesthetic trends. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Marathon Steel Navigator SSNAV-D Quartz highly for its robust build and exceptional timekeeping accuracy at its price point.

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.
