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.

Venezianico Nereide Acquaforte

Owners widely praise the Venezianico Nereide's striking dial design and overall finishing, with many finding its appearance and feel superior in person. The bracelet is noted for its comfort and quality, and the watch is considered suitable for daily wear. Some owners find the case a bit thick for wear under a cuff. The movement is a point of discussion, with one owner preferring a thinner, more accurate caliber over the NH45a, while another review highlights the reliable Sellita SW200-1. The watch is regarded as a good value mechanical diver-style timepiece, featuring a handsome design with a decorative tungsten bezel and aventurine dial, though the stock rubber strap can be stiff. Overall, owners rate the Venezianico Nereide highly for its exceptional dial and finishing at its price point.

From video reviewers

The watch's unique engraved case, inspired by Renaissance ornamentation, is a standout feature. The Miyota 9039 automatic movement provides reliable accuracy. A significant drawback is the difficulty in sourcing the watch due to its high demand.
