What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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.

Grand Seiko SBGY007

Grand Seiko SBGY007 owners and reviewers widely praise its stunning, textured blue dial, inspired by frozen Lake Suwa, and its clean, time-only aesthetic. The watch is lauded for its impeccable finishing, including high polish and Zaratsu polishing, and its classic, thin 38.5mm stainless steel dress case. The hand-wound Spring Drive Caliber 9R31 movement is noted for its accuracy, rated to ±1 second per day, and a 72-hour power reserve, with its power reserve indicator discreetly placed on the case back. While some reviewers suggest room for improvement in Grand Seiko's pricing structure, the $8,300 USD price is seen by others as a relatively affordable entry into the brand's high-end offerings. On balance, the consensus is that the Grand Seiko SBGY007 is highly regarded for its exceptional dial artistry and refined finishing at its price point.
