What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Venezianico Arsenale Platino

The Venezianico Arsenale Platino is praised for its elegant style, detailed finishing, and slim profile, contributing to a quality feel and enjoyable wearability. Its platinum-galvanized dial features a rippled surface, offering a monochromatic yet stylish appearance. It is powered by a Swiss-made automatic caliber V3250, regulated to -4/+6 seconds per day. On balance, reviewers consider the Venezianico Arsenale Platino a winner for the money due to its attractive design and finishing.

From video reviewers

The unique dial colour shift is a notable feature. The watch's price point is relatively competitive. Reviewers disagree on the case size, with one reviewer finding the lug-to-lug fit too long for smaller wrists, while the other finds the 40mm case size a comfortable fit.

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon is widely praised for its creative, fun, and original design, with reviewers and owners alike highlighting its vibrant colors and ability to serve as a conversation starter. The watch is considered well-made for its price, featuring a unique aesthetic where a figure's leg indicates the hour and a rubber duck shows the minutes. Some owners report the blue nylon strap can be small in diameter. One reviewer noted the Milanese bracelet was too shiny and opted to brush it and the lugs for a more subdued look. The mechanical variant uses an STP1-11 automatic movement with a 44-hour power reserve and acceptable accuracy, while the quartz variant features a unique dial design with hour markers integrated into the watery visual. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon highly for its imaginative design and good value.
