What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Boldr Expedition II

Owners widely praise the Boldr Expedition II for its tool watch utility, legible dials, and bead-blasted finish, with many finding its 41mm size ideal for daily wear and comfortable on various wrists. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its excellent value, well-executed details, and the functional design of its knurled crown. Some owners note the dial color can appear creamier than expected online, and one reviewer found the stock rubber strap to be a minor criticism. The Sellita SW200 movement and domed sapphire crystal are also noted as positive features. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Boldr Expedition II highly for its functional field watch design and excellent value.

From video reviewers

The Boldr Expedition II's solid construction and reliability are notable strengths. A weakness is the potential for dim lume brightness, as the entire dial is fully covered in lume but the reviewer's assessment implies it might be inadequate.

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.
