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 DOLCEVITA

Owners widely praise the Longines DOLCEVITA for its exceptional value, with some finding its dial superior to significantly more expensive alternatives. Reviewers highlight its commendable, bold aesthetic statement, particularly in collaborative editions featuring unique design elements and opaline dials. However, a recurring criticism from owners is the crown, described as "comically bad" and "sucks" for winding and setting, with one owner also deeming the date window "useless." Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Longines DOLCEVITA highly for its striking design and value proposition, despite noted issues with the crown functionality.
