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.

Tissot Lovely

The Tissot Lovely is widely praised as a classic, elegant, and beautiful ladies' watch with a beloved 60s square face, offering a feminine aesthetic suitable for everyday wear. Owners highlight its graceful design, high-quality materials, craftsmanship, and mechanism for its price point, with one owner noting it fulfills a dream for a Swiss watch under 20mm. However, some owners find smaller watches like the Tissot Lovely difficult to read as they age. Two owners reported the leather strap deteriorating quickly, and one experienced significant fading of the gold coating to a copper/bronze tone. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Lovely highly for its classic design and elegant appearance at its price point.
