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.

Longines CONQUEST

Owners widely praise the Longines CONQUEST for its high-quality finishing, excellent value, and versatile design, with many citing the L888.5 movement and 72-hour power reserve as key strengths. The watch is frequently noted for its comfortable bracelet and attractive dials, offering comparable quality to more expensive alternatives. However, several owners and reviewers point out the lack of micro-adjustment on the bracelet clasp as a significant drawback, with some also noting the polished surfaces are prone to micro-scratches and the lume is inconsistent across variants, with only some models featuring lumed hands. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Longines CONQUEST highly for its impressive finishing and value proposition, particularly its robust movement and versatile wearability.
