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 Spartan Limited Edition

The Norqain Wild ONE Spartan Limited Edition is praised for its lightweight NORTEQ carbon composite case, which offers a silky texture and thermal conductivity akin to titanium, making it feel surprisingly light and durable. Owners note its detailed dial and comfortable 42x12.3mm size, with one owner finding its unique technology justifies the cost. However, some find the skeleton hands lack sufficient lume, and concerns exist regarding future servicing. The price point, even used, is considered high by some given the competition. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Norqain Wild ONE Spartan Limited Edition highly for its innovative case material and lightweight, durable construction.
