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.

Cincinnati Watch Company Guild Mechanical Steel

The Cincinnati Watch Company Guild Mechanical Steel is praised for its sharp, vintage-inspired dial with ornate Breguet numerals and textured center, and its comfortable, solid-link bracelet. Owners widely report good legibility and a classy design. Some find its 10mm thickness too much for a dressy manual wind watch, and the acrylic crystal and quartz movement are noted as compromises for the price, with one owner stating they would not pay more than $150 for a watch with these features. On balance, owners rate the Cincinnati Watch Company Guild Mechanical Steel highly for its beautiful dial and vintage design at a budget price point.
