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 Diver

The Spinnaker Hull Diver is widely praised for its excellent build quality, featuring a milled clasp, solid links, and a strong anti-reflective coating on its sapphire crystal. Owners highlight its value, with one calling it one of their best affordable watches at $170, and appreciate the dual-part case construction that contributes to a reduced thickness. The blue dial is noted for its attractive play of light, and the screw-down crown is easy to operate. However, the lume is considered average, and some desire a higher beat movement. On balance, owners rate the Spinnaker Hull Diver highly for its robust construction and strong value proposition at its price point.
