What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Traska Commuter Carbon Black

The Traska Commuter Carbon Black is widely praised for its excellent fit and finish, with owners noting its build quality rivals significantly more expensive watches. Its proprietary hardening coating offers notable scratch resistance, and the slim 10.5mm case and comfortable bracelet with toolless micro-adjustment contribute to its wearability. The Miyota 9039 movement powers the watch, and one reviewer noted its accuracy at -10/+20 seconds per day. Some owners find the bracelet potentially too large for wrists under 6.5 inches, and one griped about coarse brushing on the hands and initial stiffness in the crown threading. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Traska Commuter Carbon Black highly for its exceptional value and robust finishing.

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.
