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.

Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton JP 42mm Black

The Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton JP 42mm Black features a 42mm multi-material case with a NORTEQ carbon outer shell, rubber core, and titanium inner case, resulting in a lightweight 78-gram construction. Reviewers praise its legible skeletonized dial with X1 Super-LumiNova and the robust, chronometer-certified Kenissi NN20/1 automatic movement, which offers a 70-hour power reserve. Some reviewers suggest refining the dial's text and patterns for improved aesthetics, and one notes the €5,550 price may be considered high. On balance, reviewers highlight the innovative, lightweight case and robust movement as key strengths of the Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton JP 42mm Black.
