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 MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE

Owners widely praise the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE for its mesmerizing dial and value, offering numerous complications at its price point. However, its 3 bar water resistance limits wearability, and some find the dial busy with the chronograph hour pointer obscuring the moonphase. One owner noted it is a "thick boi" and the blue is less vibrant than pictured, while another mentioned scuffs on the case and discrepancies with the rotor weight and column wheel compared to the website. The consensus is that the Longines MASTER COLLECTION CHRONO MOONPHASE is a gorgeous, high-horology offering for its price, despite some functional limitations and aesthetic critiques.
