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

The Sternglas Naos is widely praised for its refined daily wearability and Bauhaus design, with owners noting its durable construction, scratchless sapphire crystal, and flawless date mechanism. Reviewers highlight the comfortable and supple bracelet that drapes well and a date window that matches the dial. One owner advises replacing the original tan strap due to a lack of durability. The quartz movement is noted for its accuracy, and the absence of a seconds hand is seen as a unique solution to prevent misaligned markers. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Sternglas Naos highly for its harmonious design and comfortable wear at its price point.
