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 PR 100

Owners widely praise the Tissot PR 100 for its exceptional value, with many noting its sapphire crystal, robust build, and attractive design. The Powermatic 80 variants are particularly lauded for their 80-hour power reserve and accuracy, with some reporting deviations as low as +/- 1-2 seconds per day. Owners appreciate the clean dials and practical clasps, finding the 39mm and 40mm sizes versatile. However, some owners report the crystal easily picks up fingerprints, and the stainless steel case and bracelet can show scratches or wear over time, with one instance of a bracelet falling apart after five years. Some also note that only the hands have lume, and the seconds hand may not perfectly align with markers on certain quartz models. Overall, owners rate the Tissot PR 100 highly for its impressive value and solid construction, making it a well-regarded entry-level Swiss timepiece.
