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.

CIGA Design GORILLA

Owners widely praise the CIGA Design GORILLA for its incredible wrist presence, unique skeletonized design with purple accents, and exceptional value under $400, with one owner highlighting its quality and scratch resistance from Gorilla glass. Reviewers note the watch's striking, Hublot-esque aesthetic and shock-resistant suspension system. However, legibility can be challenging, lume is weak, and the CD-01 movement gains approximately 17 seconds per day with a 40-hour power reserve. Community sentiment is divided, with some finding the design "hideous" while others enthusiastically recommend it as affordable, interesting, and cool. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CIGA Design GORILLA highly for its bold, unconventional design and accessible price point.
