What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Monta Atlas

The Monta Atlas is widely praised for its exceptional wearability, with its comfortable 38.5mm case size and buttery bracelet frequently highlighted. Owners and reviewers alike commend its fit and finish, noting a mix of brushed, polished, and blasted surfaces. However, the rehaut on the opaline silver dial is considered nearly illegible for the 24-hour GMT scale, leading some to suggest other dial colors are more practical for GMT functionality. One owner also flagged the crown as less sturdy than anticipated and noted the AR coating attracts fingerprints. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Monta Atlas highly for its comfortable dimensions and appealing finishing.

From video reviewers

The Monta Opalin Silver's dial is a notable strength, particularly its subtle gradient effect that adds depth to the watch without being too flashy. The watch offers a notable value proposition due to its movement, typically found in more expensive timepieces. The bracelet can be prone to rattle, which might be a trade-off for some buyers.

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.
