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

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.

Sternglas Naos Großdatum

The Sternglas Naos Großdatum is praised for its Bauhaus aesthetic and value, with one owner finding it an affordable alternative to other designs. However, some owners report it feels underwhelming and cheap, with a printed-on face, small font, and toy-like hands, and find the strap to be of poor quality. The watch features a 38mm stainless steel case, an Alabaster dial with beige LumiNova, and a Seiko TMI VJ76 quartz movement rated for -20/+20 seconds per month. On balance, owners and reviewers are divided, with the primary point of contention being the perceived quality and aesthetic execution of the Sternglas Naos Großdatum.
