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.

Straton Daily Driver MKII

Owners praise the Straton Daily Driver MKII for its AR-coated sapphire crystal and reliable Miyota 6S21 quartz movement at its price, with the comfortable Barton band fitting well for daily wear. The watch features a clean white dial with double panda chronograph subdials, stick indices, and a thin black bezel that owners find visually appealing. One caveat is availability — the watch is difficult to find for sale. Overall, the consensus is that the Straton Daily Driver MKII offers strong value through its sapphire crystal and quartz reliability, marred primarily by scarcity in the market.
