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.

RZE Fortitude GMT

Owners and reviewers highlight its comfortable wearability, with a bracelet featuring a quick-adjust clasp and multiple micro-adjustment positions. The Miyota 9075 flyer GMT movement is noted for its accuracy, with one owner reporting -1 to +1 seconds per day, though another source states a range of -10/+30 seconds per day. The watch's design is appreciated for its soul and attention to detail, including a subtle red crown tube indicator and faceted lugs, and its Nimbus Grey dial features a coarse, sandpaper-like texture and fumé effect. A reviewer points out the rotor can be loud and a smaller screwdriver is needed for sizing, while an owner found the GMT hand lume confusing. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the RZE Fortitude GMT highly for its comfortable titanium build, durable coating, and excellent value.
