What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon: mechanical

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon: mechanical is widely praised for its creative and original design, making it a fun conversation starter and a well-made watch for its price point. Owners appreciate the vibrant colors and quality packaging, with one reviewer noting the 40mm case dimensions and elegant lugs. The Swiss STP1-11 movement is reported to have acceptable accuracy. Some owners, however, find the Milanese bracelet too shiny, while the nylon strap may be small in diameter for some wearers. On balance, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon: mechanical highly for its unique design and good value.

Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik

The Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik is praised for its slim 9mm case and Bauhaus dial design, featuring clear hour markers and a framed date window. Owners note the upgraded Miyota 9015 movement with a 4Hz beat rate. Accuracy is reported as -10/+30 seconds per day, which is not ideal for precision enthusiasts. The five-link bracelet's lack of fitted end-links and the optional bracelet's chunkiness are flagged as areas lacking refinement. Overall, reviewers highlight the Sternglas Naos Pro Automatik's improved wearability and premium feel at its price point.

From video reviewers

The Bauhaus design is a strength. The value proposition is a weakness.
