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.

Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3)

Owners widely praise the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) for its vibrant blue dial that exhibits depth and liveliness under varying light, its fun and creative design, and its value as a mechanical chronograph. The Seagull 1901 movement provides column-wheel chronograph functionality, with one owner reporting accuracy around +6 seconds per day and satisfying chronograph pusher feel. However, the watch is criticized for a highly reflective, overly domed crystal and weak lume. Some owners find the 13.6mm thickness to be substantial. On balance, owners rate the Studio Underd0g Desert Sky (Gen3) highly for its engaging dial and value proposition as a mechanical chronograph.
