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.

Orient 75th Anniversary RA-AC0Q12L30B

The Orient 75th Anniversary RA-AC0Q12L30B is widely praised for its classy, dressy aesthetic, beautiful periwinkle or light blue sunray dial with deep-relief radial grooves, and crisp engraved bezel numerals, all within a compact 39.9mm to 40mm case. Owners consider it a great value, with some noting it looks better in person and is destined to become a classic, punching above its price point. One owner finds the dial color too feminine for a dive watch and considered the dial craftsmanship inferior to the Presage Cocktail series, while another flags the lack of lume as a drawback. The bracelet clasp and end links are consistently considered a weak point, and the steel case is noted as less rounded than other Orient divers. The watch features 200m water resistance and a 46.5mm lug-to-lug measurement. Overall, owners rate the Orient 75th Anniversary RA-AC0Q12L30B highly for its stunning dial and compact size at the price.
