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.

Tudor Royal

Owners widely praise the Tudor Royal's integrated bracelet, with many calling it the star of the watch, noting its excellent finishing and comfortable wearability, and several reviewers highlight its attractive value proposition starting under $3,000. Some owners find its Roman numerals and bezel lean dressy, while others appreciate its toned-down bezel and find the watch looks better in person. Accuracy figures range from +1 second per day to about -6 seconds per day, and the 38-hour power reserve is noted as a drawback by some. The lack of bracelet micro-adjustment makes achieving a perfect fit difficult for some owners, and the date window's placement is seen as a missed opportunity for better dial balance. Overall, owners rate the Tudor Royal highly for its bracelet finishing and value at the price.
