What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Maen Manhattan Ultra Thin

The Maen Manhattan Ultra Thin is widely praised for its slim case, with reviewers noting a 6.9mm or 7.1mm thickness, and its elegant, vintage-inspired styling. Specific design elements highlighted include a Côtes de Genève or hammered "Tuscan" dial finish and an integrated bracelet. The hand-wound ETA Pesaux 7001 movement is noted for its role in achieving the thin profile, offering a 42-hour power reserve. However, the black text on the vertically striped dial can be difficult to read, and the integrated bracelet lacks a quick-release system. Some reviewers expressed a desire for a 38mm case size option. Overall, reviewers rate the Maen Manhattan Ultra Thin highly for its slim, elegant design and vintage aesthetic at its price point.

From video reviewers

The ultra-thin profile is a standout feature. The value proposition is a point of discussion.

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.
