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.

Venezianico Nereide GMT Grand Tour

Owners widely praise the Venezianico Nereide GMT Grand Tour for its beautiful and colorful design, refined muted blue dial, and Italian-made 39mm case with sapphire crystal and AR coating. The bracelet is frequently noted as feeling great on the wrist, and one owner reports excellent accuracy at +-2 seconds per day. Some owners appreciate the dress-casual sport watch feel and the rose gold mirrored bezel portion, while others find the optical glass bezel preferable for reduced glare. However, some find the watch large, and one owner experienced the butterfly clasp opening while swimming. The price is considered steep by some for a Miyota GMT, though others feel it is justified by the improved case finishing and solid feel, especially compared to other movements. The unidirectional 120-click bezel is noted as essentially a diver bezel with a different insert.
