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 Bronzo

Venezianico Nereide Bronzo owners praise its harmonious 39mm sizing with a 45.5mm lug-to-lug, appearing larger in photos than in reality. The marine bronze is highlighted for its graceful, goldish patina that stabilizes over time, and the watch is considered a perfectly sized diver under $1000. Owners also flag the thin case, excellent quality control, and robust 200M water resistance, powered by a reliable Miyota movement. On balance, owners rate the Venezianico Nereide Bronzo highly for its exceptional value and the appealing, stable patina of its bronze case.
