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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold neomatik

The NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold neomatik is lauded for its classic Bauhaus design and thin case, with the 35mm variant measuring a mere 6.9mm. Reviewers highlight the subtle contrast provided by gold hands and printing against black numerals on the dial. The neomatik 38 Update offers a more wearable 38.5mm execution of the ring date complication, featuring the in-house DUW 6101 caliber with a 42-hour power reserve, and the gold variants are priced at $16,100. While the Tangente Neomatik 41 Update's date mechanism is creative, its intuitiveness is questioned, and the 40.5mm size is noted as comfortable. The 35mm gold neomatik is considered a mild, rather than groundbreaking, addition. On balance, reviewers praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente gold neomatik for its elegant, thin design and refined aesthetic, particularly appreciating the wearability of its various sizes.
