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.

Spinnaker Croft

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Spinnaker Croft for its vibrant dial colors, chunky hands and bezel, and overall value, with one owner noting the Miyota 8218 movement and cyclops as appreciated features. Reviewers flag the bracelet and clasp as budget-friendly limitations, citing friction-fit pins, sharp edges, and a stiff security lock. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Spinnaker Croft highly for its accessible skeletonized dive watch aesthetic and appealing design at its price point.
