What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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.

Nodus Sector II Dive GMT

Owners widely praise the Nodus Sector II Dive GMT for its solid build, bracelet, and fit and finish for the price, with reviewers noting its well-executed finishing featuring alternating brushed and polished surfaces. The regulated Seiko NH34 movement is reported to run at +5 seconds per day. Some owners desire a Miyota 9075 movement and lume on the GMT hand, and a reviewer finds the 120-click dive bezel less ideal for GMT functions than a bi-directional 48-click GMT bezel, while the dial's dense Arabic numerals can be overwhelming for some despite good legibility. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Nodus Sector II Dive GMT highly for its attractive design and build quality at its price point.
