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.

Orient Bambino Version 7

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Orient Bambino Version 7 for its exceptional value, with its dial quality and case finishing often noted as punching above its price point. The F6724 automatic movement is appreciated for its hacking and hand-winding capabilities, and wearability is generally considered good. However, the mineral crystal is flagged as prone to scratching, and one owner reported the movement can be noisy and the crown stem feels less secure. The stock strap is also frequently criticized as being of poor quality. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Orient Bambino Version 7 highly for its vintage-inspired design and impressive dial and case finishing at its affordable price.

From video reviewers

The 38.4mm case size is ideal for most wrists. Reviewers noted the domed crystal as a standout design element.
