What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Brew Metric Manual Wind

The Brew Metric is widely praised for its value, with reviewers noting the $525-$875 price point offers a compelling package including '70s-inspired designs, complex dials, and reliable movements. Owners and reviewers highlight its compact 36mm case size and fluid, integrated-look bracelet as contributing to excellent wearability, particularly on smaller wrists. The dial execution, featuring "mountain-top" indices, applied elements, and textured finishes, is frequently singled out for its dynamism and depth. However, some owners report the bracelet can pull arm hairs, leading to discomfort for some, and one reviewer noted a slight rattle. Strap compatibility is also limited by non-standard lug widths on certain models. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Brew Metric highly for its distinctive design and strong value proposition at its price point.

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.
