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

Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon is widely praised for its creative, fun, and original design, with reviewers and owners alike highlighting its vibrant colors and ability to serve as a conversation starter. The watch is considered well-made for its price, featuring a unique aesthetic where a figure's leg indicates the hour and a rubber duck shows the minutes. Some owners report the blue nylon strap can be small in diameter. One reviewer noted the Milanese bracelet was too shiny and opted to brush it and the lugs for a more subdued look. The mechanical variant uses an STP1-11 automatic movement with a 44-hour power reserve and acceptable accuracy, while the quartz variant features a unique dial design with hour markers integrated into the watery visual. Overall, owners and reviewers rate Mr Jones Watches A perfectly useless afternoon highly for its imaginative design and good value.

Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition Oxford

Owners widely praise the Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition Oxford for its elegant Bauhaus design, particularly the "Alabaster" dial described as a warm grey, beige, or silver, and its well-proportioned handset with distinctive red accents. The compact lugs and sapphire crystal are also highlighted as positive design elements contributing to its wearability. However, some owners find the movement audible and the small crown difficult to grip, making winding and setting inconvenient. One owner noted the finishing is not comparable to higher-end brands. On balance, owners rate the Sternglas Naos Automatik Edition Oxford highly for its attractive, affordable Bauhaus aesthetic and versatile wearability.
