What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon: mechanical

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon: mechanical is widely praised for its creative and original design, making it a fun conversation starter and a well-made watch for its price point. Owners appreciate the vibrant colors and quality packaging, with one reviewer noting the 40mm case dimensions and elegant lugs. The Swiss STP1-11 movement is reported to have acceptable accuracy. Some owners, however, find the Milanese bracelet too shiny, while the nylon strap may be small in diameter for some wearers. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon: mechanical highly for its unique design and good value.

Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date for its value at the price point. One owner notes the watch is a great purchase with no regrets, and is unbothered by its lume. The Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date features a 41mm steel case and a Miyota 9015 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve. However, one owner received a non-working watch and reported difficulty obtaining a refund, citing horrible customer service. On balance, owners rate the Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date well for its value, though customer service experiences can vary.

From video reviewers

The Phoibos Eagle Ray No Date features a high-beat Miyota 9015 movement, which is a notable strength. A weakness of the watch is its relatively weak lume brightness. Reviewers disagree on whether the added features of the Ceramic model justify the extra cost, with one reviewer finding it worth the extra cost and another noting it's a trade-off for the No Date model.
