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 90-010

Owners praise the KUOE ROYAL SMITH's elegant 37mm size, symmetrical bicompax layout, and crisp chronograph pushers with a swift reset. The salmon dial is described as copper-toned with highly polished, legible Breguet numerals. Some owners find the 13mm thickness and 43mm lug-to-lug wearable, while others note the 14.3mm thickness detracts from wearability. The TMI NE86A movement has a claimed 45-hour power reserve and accuracy ranging from +25/-15 seconds per day. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the KUOE ROYAL SMITH for its retro charm and enjoyable chronograph operation, despite some reservations about its thickness.
