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 Remixed A perfectly useless afternoon

Owners widely praise Mr Jones Watches Remixed A perfectly useless afternoon for its whimsical, art-piece design, lightweight comfort, and 38mm size, with some finding its quality commensurate with its sub-$300 price. The unconventional time-telling is noted as unintuitive but surprisingly not difficult to read, making it a fun conversation starter. Some owners report issues with the hour hand alignment and find the straps undesirable or the plug near 9 o'clock feels cheap, and a few question the overall build quality and 50m water resistance. Overall, owners rate Mr Jones Watches Remixed A perfectly useless afternoon highly for its unique dial design and refreshing aesthetic at a reasonable price.

CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch

The CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is widely praised for its faithful recreation of vintage details, including its dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring and pointed crown guards. Owners and reviewers note its reasonable size and the original minute hand design. However, the lume is a point of contention: some find the "faux patina" tint too gold and glossy, while others specifically criticize the mismatched lume color between hands and hour markers, with the hour marker lume described as overly shiny and convex. On balance, the CWC 1980 RN Divers Automatic Re-Issue Watch is highly regarded for its authentic vintage aesthetic and wearability, despite mixed opinions on the lume application.

From video reviewers

The watch's accurate movement is a notable strength. A potential weakness is its relatively high price point. Reviewers disagree on the watch's water-resistance, with one reviewer suggesting it could be improved and the other not mentioning any issues with water-resistance.
