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.

Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER

Owners widely praise the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER for its unique dial colors and vintage-inspired design, with many appreciating its compact 39mm case size and 100m or 200m water resistance. Reviewers and owners note the V192 solar movement’s power reserve indicator and its reliability, though some owners express a preference for automatic movements. One owner finds the $700 price for a solar quartz model expensive, while another criticizes the €860 price point and desires a thinner case and a bracelet with quick-release or micro-adjustment. On balance, owners and reviewers appreciate the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER for its distinctive aesthetic and versatile wearability, despite some reservations about its price and case thickness.
