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 AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch

The Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch is widely praised as an affordable, classic dress watch with a well-balanced design and a sun and moon dial. Owners appreciate its sapphire crystal, exhibition caseback, and the F6B24 automatic movement, which offers hand-winding, hacking, and day, date, and 24-hour complications. Some owners find the 42.5mm case size and 14mm thickness to be large, and note that the moonphase is a day/night complication. However, others find it surprisingly not heavy and like its layout and finish, considering Orient the best value brand. Overall, owners rate the Orient AK00 Version 3 Classic Watch highly for its attractive sun and moon dial and excellent value.
