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 Le Locle Gold

Owners widely praise the Tissot Le Locle Gold for its stunning PVD gold-plated finish, off-white dial with applied gold numerals and guilloche print, and elegant, classic look, with some noting its smooth sweep from the high-beat movement and impressive accuracy. One owner calls it a "hidden gem" and "gorgeous piece" suitable for business casual and suits, while another highlights its value as a starter dress watch. Accuracy figures vary, with one owner reporting about 11 seconds fast per day for the ETA 2824-2 movement, while another states their watch is "very accurate," and some owners praise the 80-hour power reserve of the Powermatic 80. The stock straps and buckle are frequently described as poor quality, feeling like plastic, and the watch's dressy nature limits its versatility. Some owners prefer earlier Bauhaus dial designs over newer guilloché patterns. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Le Locle Gold highly for its attractive gold finish and elegant dial at its price point.
