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 Hull

The Spinnaker Hull is widely praised by owners for its textured or deep sandwich dials, bold cushion case design, and vintage charm, with one owner finding its jubilee bracelet superior to Seiko's. The meca-quartz movement is a common feature, and the watch offers 100m water resistance. However, the 24-hour subdial is considered functionally illogical and visually unappealing by one owner, and the mineral crystal is noted as a drawback compared to sapphire. On balance, owners rate the Spinnaker Hull highly for its significant style and value at its budget price point.

From video reviewers

The watch's lume is a strong point. Reviewers noted the absence of a sapphire crystal as a drawback.
