What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow

Owners widely praise the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow for its gorgeous, avant-garde moonphase display and impressive lume, with many finding it comfortable and well-wearing. The constantly rotating moon phase complication is a highlight, and its accuracy is noted as exceptional. However, some find the lume on the date ring disappointing, fading quickly, and one owner finds the second, less visible moon distracting. Overall, owners rate the Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow highly for its visually engaging moonphase and value at the price point.

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.
