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 Tetra 27 duo

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tetra 27 duo for its ideal small and light wearing dimensions, beautiful dial that shifts with lighting, and gorgeous blued hands, with some finding its 27mm size perfect for vintage preferences. The watch is noted for its precise, Art Deco-inspired design and good finishing. However, some owners and reviewers consider the 27.5mm size too small, labeling it a women's watch, though others find it unisex and note its square shape can make it wear larger. One owner flags the buckle as disappointingly generic and the grey suede strap as prone to getting dirty. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the NOMOS Glashütte Tetra 27 duo for its elegant design and comfortable wearability at its price point.
