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 King

The Mr Jones Watches King is widely praised for its imaginative and unconventional design, with owners appreciating its unique playing card dial that tells time unconventionally. Some owners find the time-telling easy to adjust to, while others note difficulty, particularly in poor light. One owner swapped the mesh bracelet for a red leather strap to enhance its flair. The Mr Jones Watches King is considered an inexpensive timepiece for those who appreciate unconventional aesthetics. On balance, owners rate the Mr Jones Watches King highly for its fun, creative, and unconventional design at an accessible price point.

Vario 1918 Trench Brass

Owners widely praise the Vario 1918 Trench Brass for its attractive, precisely made dial and case, with the evolving brass patina noted as a positive feature. The bund strap is considered comfortable and well-fitting by some, though others find it stiff and short for larger wrists. The lume is considered poor. The Miyota 82s5 movement is described as adequate, with accuracy ranging from about -10 seconds per day to simply running slow. On balance, owners rate the Vario 1918 Trench Brass highly for its fantastic looks and the unique character of its brass case.
