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 PRX

The Tissot PRX is widely praised for its exceptional finishing, comfortable wearability, and strong value proposition, with owners and reviewers highlighting its luxurious feel for the price. The integrated bracelet, often noted for its shine, finishing, and brushed surfaces with polished edges, is a significant draw, as is the watch's neo-vintage aesthetic and refined dial pattern. The slim case profile, measuring around 10.5mm to 11mm depending on the source, contributes to its comfortable daily wear, and the 100m water resistance is a practical feature. While one owner reported specific issues with a PRX Chronograph's hands and quality control after service, other sources focus on the Powermatic 80's reliable automatic movement and the overall joy of wearing the Tissot PRX. Some find sizing the bracelet challenging due to the lack of a micro-adjustment option.

From video reviewers

The Powermatic 80 movement with its 80-hour power reserve is consistently praised. The lume brightness is noted as a weakness. Reviewers disagree on the suitability of the lug-to-lug fit for smaller wrists.
