What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2

Owners widely praise the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 for its exceptional value and comfortable wearability, with particular appreciation for its refined PVD finish. The watch features a Seiko VK63 Meca-Quartz movement, improved lume, and solid bezel action, all housed in a 42mm case with recessed pushers and 100m water resistance. Some owners note the 49mm lug-to-lug may be large for smaller wrists. On balance, owners rate the Dryden Chrono Diver Gen 2 highly for its amazing value and comfortable wearability.

Mr Jones Watches Beam me up!

Mr Jones Watches Beam me up! is widely praised for its fun, unique design and conversational appeal, with owners highlighting the sharp, color-by-color printed dial and layered dial that creates an interesting technical build. The UFO beam indicating minutes and a piglet indicating hours are noted as appealing to sci-fi fans, and the watch is described as a satisfying daily wear and a great conversation starter. Some owners wish the brand would update its lugs, and one user finds the pig hour marker off-putting. The watch uses a quartz movement, and legibility of the hour pig can be difficult, with the minute reading being more of a range than precise. Overall, owners rate Mr Jones Watches Beam me up! highly for its fun, unique design and conversational appeal.
