What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Glycine Combat Classic

Owners widely praise the Glycine Combat Classic for its refined engineering, comfortable wearability, and well-designed, legible dial. The lume on the markers and Arabic numerals is noted as sufficient, though the lume on the hands is minimal. One owner reported their 42mm version outperformed other watches despite rough use, while another found the quality fantastic but gave away the 42mm version due to its size. On balance, owners rate the Glycine Combat Classic highly for its quality and finishing at the price, with the primary caveat being the size of the 42mm variant for some wearers.

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.
