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 Fleuss GMT

Owners widely praise the Spinnaker Fleuss GMT for its aesthetic appeal, comfortable and light wearability, and value, especially when discounted. The textured blue dial, applied lumed markers, and sapphire crystal with AR coating are highlighted as stunning features. Owners also note the dial is very well lumed and the bracelet has helpful quick-release tabs. However, the 43.3mm case size is criticized by some as being too large, and the Beads of Rice bracelet is described as "jingly jangly" with a pressed clasp and a clasp that isn't finely finished. Some users flag the internal bezel rotates too easily. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Fleuss GMT highly for its aesthetic success and value at its affordable price point.
