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.

KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006

Owners widely praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH 90-006 for its visual appeal and sapphire crystal with AR coating. The watch functions correctly and keeps time at approximately +5 seconds per day on the wrist, powered by a Miyota 9039 movement. On balance, owners value the watch's aesthetics and specifications, though some question its overall value proposition.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique blend of modern and retro elements is a notable strength, with a textured ivory waffle dial and Breguet numerals giving it the look of a vintage watch from the 1950s and 1960s. A potential drawback is the ~$770 USD price point, which is significant for a microbrand. Reviewers disagree on the movement's accuracy, with one reviewer noting it is noisy and another describing it as a "Japanese-manufactured high beat premium automatic movement".
