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.

Redux Zero-Hour

Owners widely praise the Redux Courg Type 39MM for its robust, no-nonsense design and good overall quality, with a reliable Seiko NH53A movement keeping time well. The titanium case and crystal have shown scratch resistance, and the bezel action is described as tight by some. Reviewers note the proprietary RDXB1 or blue lume glows brilliantly, though briefly. Some owners flag the crown stem as flimsy and the unidirectional bezel as having some play. Overall, owners rate the Redux Courg Type 39MM highly for its functional tool-watch design and durable titanium construction.
