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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tetra 27 duo

Owners widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tetra 27 duo for its ideal small and light wearing dimensions, beautiful dial that shifts with lighting, and gorgeous blued hands, with some finding its 27mm size perfect for vintage preferences. The watch is noted for its precise, Art Deco-inspired design and good finishing. However, some owners and reviewers consider the 27.5mm size too small, labeling it a women's watch, though others find it unisex and note its square shape can make it wear larger. One owner flags the buckle as disappointingly generic and the grey suede strap as prone to getting dirty. Overall, owners and reviewers highly regard the NOMOS Glashütte Tetra 27 duo for its elegant design and comfortable wearability at its price point.
