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.

Phoibos Leviathan

Owners widely praise the Phoibos Leviathan for its excellent value, superb case finishing, and generous lume. The watch is described as visually striking, legible, and well-made, with a unique case design, sapphire crystal, and a comfortable FKM strap or excellent bracelet with a milled clasp and quick adjustments. Some owners note the bezel's staggered jimping can cause fingers to slip, and the beveled crystal can distort the view of indices. Accuracy varies, with one owner reporting losing 5-10 seconds per day without a winder, while others state it keeps accurate time out of the box. The watch is frequently described as heavy and thick, with some owners finding it too large for wrists smaller than 7.5 inches, although newer models feature an improved clasp for better comfort and functionality. Overall, owners rate the Phoibos Leviathan highly for its striking design and impressive finishing at an accessible price point.
