What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

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.

Tissot Rockwatch

The Tissot Rockwatch is widely praised for its innovative use of solid Swiss granite for the case and dial, with each piece featuring a unique pattern derived from materials like the Jungfrau mountain. Reviewers highlight its quirky charm, tactile experience, and historical significance as a business success for Tissot during a difficult period. The 38mm case size and short lug-to-lug measurement contribute to its wearability. However, the included black leather strap is considered decent at best and could be improved. Overall, reviewers celebrate the Tissot Rockwatch for its unique material, historical importance, and distinctive aesthetic.
