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.

Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force

Owners widely praise the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force for its attractive, toolish aesthetic and excellent quality for the price, noting the legible Type A dial and 40mm titanium case. However, the acrylic crystal scratches easily, and the titanium case is prone to marking. The mecha-quartz movement's chrono timer sweeps rather than ticks, and one owner questions the purpose of the oversized crown. The in-house Yema 2000 movement is accurate at +/- 10 seconds per day but has a 42-hour power reserve, and some owners express concerns regarding Yema's past quality control and customer service. On balance, owners rate the Yema Flygraf Bi-Compax French Air Force highly for its attractive design and value, despite concerns about material durability and brand service history.
