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.

Gruppo Gamma Field III GMT Date

Owners widely praise the Gruppo Gamma Field III GMT Date for its awesome looks, quality, and good value. The watch features a 40mm brushed 316L stainless steel case, box sapphire crystal, and 200m water resistance, powered by a Seiko NH34A movement. Some reviewers note the NH34A movement's accuracy can range from -20~+40 seconds per day, though one reviewer reported +5 seconds per day with a regulated movement. The dial's dense layout with Arabic numerals can be overwhelming for some, and one owner found the size unsuitable for smaller wrists. On balance, owners rate the Gruppo Gamma Field III GMT Date highly for its impressive finishing and toolish design at its price point.
