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.

Boldr Odyssey Regatta

The Boldr Odyssey Regatta is noted for its robust functionality and utilitarian design, powered by a Valjoux 7750 Elaboré movement. It features a tachymeter bezel graduated in knots and offers 500m water resistance. While its 45.5mm diameter, 18.2mm thickness, and 245g weight make it a substantial timepiece, it wears better than its dimensions might suggest. Overall, owners and reviewers highlight the Boldr Odyssey Regatta's workhorse movement and functional tool-watch capabilities.

From video reviewers

500m water resistance is a consistently praised feature. The watch's significant weight and large case size were noted as drawbacks by multiple reviewers. Reviewers disagreed on whether the bezel's 15-minute markings were redundant given the regatta complication.
