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 Number Cruncher

Owners widely praise the Mr Jones Watches Number Cruncher's fun and unique dial designs, with many appreciating its 37mm diameter and 47mm lug-to-lug dimensions as pleasant for smaller wrists. The Seagull ST1721 automatic movement is noted for its 42-hour power reserve and quiet operation. However, opinions are divided on the case and lug design, with some finding them cheap or oddly shaped, while others feel they work well with specific strap choices. Readability is a concern for some due to the busy dial details, and accuracy can vary significantly, with one report of +/-45 seconds per day. Some owners express reservations about the build quality and strap quality relative to the price, with one user reporting receiving two broken watches from the brand. On balance, owners rate the Mr Jones Watches Number Cruncher highly for its distinctive aesthetic and conversation-starting appeal, despite mixed opinions on its build quality and timekeeping precision.

Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER

Owners widely praise the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER's gorgeous, unique red dial and vintage-inspired design, finding it a sturdy and reliable everyday watch. Some owners, however, question the value proposition at around $700 for a solar quartz model, citing its 13-15mm thickness and the 24-hour subdial as drawbacks. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting +1/+2 seconds per day, while another notes the V192 solar movement offers a six-month power reserve. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER a capable and versatile chronograph, with its striking dial and everyday wearability being the most frequently cited strengths.

From video reviewers

The Seiko Prospex SPEEDTIMER's solar movement provides reliable power without battery replacements and accurate timekeeping, with a claimed accuracy of ±15 seconds per month. A notable trade-off is the watch's slightly thicker profile and somewhat lacking lume brightness. Reviewers disagree on whether the bezel action is smooth and clicky, with one reviewer praising it and the other not mentioning it.
