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 K9

Owners widely report the Mr Jones Watches K9 is a fun, quirky, and unique artistic piece that serves as a conversation starter, with some noting reliable movements and solid customer support. However, some owners found the build quality lacking, reporting issues with misaligned hands and needing to return their watches multiple times, while others find them difficult to read and question the value at full price. On balance, owners view the Mr Jones Watches K9 as a well-made artistic statement, with its unique design being the primary draw despite potential readability and build quality concerns.

Zelos Vitesse

Owners widely praise the Zelos Vitesse for its vintage motorsport design and striking dial options, with particular appreciation for the salmon and panda configurations and their finishing. The bracelet, clasp, and overall value at $1200 are frequently highlighted as strong points. Some owners note the watch sits high on the wrist, and a few have observed minor cosmetic imperfections on subdials. The La Joux Perret L100 movement's accuracy varies, with one report of +5 seconds per day, and several owners find the winding action stiff and noisy, the pushers sticky, and the screw-down crown's feel underwhelming. On balance, owners rate the Zelos Vitesse highly for its captivating dial and strong value proposition, despite some reservations about the chronograph's operational feel and case height.
