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 Carson Premium

Owners widely praise the Tissot Carson Premium for its classy, jewelry-like appearance and versatile wearability, with many noting its refined materials and finishing. The watch is considered worth its price premium due to features like a date complication and a 20mm lug width for easier strap changes. Its sapphire crystal is noted to hold up well, and the dial is described as having a nice silvery finish with a framed date detail. One owner highlights the attractive moonphase complication and high value for money. However, one owner reported their automatic Tissot Carson gained about a minute per day, which they found excessive for a Swiss-made watch. On balance, owners rate the Tissot Carson Premium highly for its attractive aesthetics and value, despite isolated reports of timekeeping issues.
