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

Owners widely praise the Longines Master Collection for its attractive designs, heritage feel, and value, with specific models highlighted for their legibility and manageable sizes. One owner finds the 40mm moonphase chronograph complete calendar mesmerizing and versatile at around $1700, while another appreciates the 38mm World Timer's looks and blue hands. A drawback noted across different models is limited water resistance, with one owner selling their watch due to this, and the World Timer disc requiring manual adjustment for daylight saving time in some areas. On balance, owners rate the Longines Master Collection highly for its aesthetic appeal and value proposition, despite some limitations in water resistance and functionality.
