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 Tadaima

Owners widely praise the Mr Jones Watches Tadaima for its cool, unique, art-focused design and playful, mood-lifting aesthetic. The watch is noted for its slim wearability and comfortable Milanese bracelet, with one owner finding it easier to tell the time than expected. Reviewers highlight its poetic dial depicting Tokyo, featuring a jumping hour disc and a bird-shaped minute indicator, all offered at a great value. However, legibility is not a strong suit, with some users finding it requires too much thinking to tell the time, and one owner noted the cat illustration might obstruct the bird's view. The Mr Jones Watches Tadaima uses a Seagull ST1721 automatic movement and the limited edition sold out quickly. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Mr Jones Watches Tadaima highly for its unique artistic design and value, despite compromised legibility.

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.
