What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Baltic MR Classic - Gold PVD

Owners widely report the Baltic MR Classic - Gold PVD's movement winds smoothly, and the 36mm case, while small, does not feel cheap. Reviewers note the gold PVD coating, paired with black dials and applied Breguet numerals, evokes a vintage aesthetic. One owner points out the acrylic crystal, while another reviewer flags the Hangzhou micro-rotor movement as rattly and loose on the wrist. The movement features a gold-toned rotor, blue screws, and pink jewels, and the case has vertical brushing on the bezel and circular brushing on the lugs. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Baltic MR Classic - Gold PVD's vintage aesthetic and smooth winding action, despite some concerns about the micro-rotor movement's rattle.

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.
