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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente Sport neomatik 42 date marine black

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente Sport neomatik 42 Date is noted for its well-finished, supple steel bracelet made of 145 parts and its ability to retain a minimalist Bauhaus design. It features the slim DUW6101 automatic movement with a 42-hour power reserve and a forward/backward quick-date mechanism, offering 300m water resistance. Reviewers question its actual diving appropriateness due to the lack of a diving bezel, and its larger 42mm case size is debated as less "authentically Nomos." Overall, owners and reviewers appreciate the Tangente Sport neomatik 42 Date for its refined bracelet and enduring design despite its larger dimensions.
