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.

Pagani Design PD-1649

The Pagani Design PD-1649 is praised for its attractive appearance, though some owners note a large case and crown. The 60-click bezel is flagged for significant back play, and the lume is considered poor. Owners report the stock leather strap can be tight at the lugs, and one owner upgraded the mineral crystal for better anti-reflective coating, while also questioning the 3 o'clock date window placement. On balance, owners appreciate the aesthetic of the Pagani Design PD-1649, with a common point of contention being the bezel back play and crystal quality.
