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 Resolute Type A

The RZE Resolute Type A is praised for its build quality, finishing, and highly legible dial with luminous elements, all at a $499 price point. Its sandblasted titanium case features an UltraHex coating, and it measures 39.5mm by 11.5mm with 100 meters of water resistance. A reviewer notes the Miyota 82S0 movement's crown operation feels grainy. On balance, reviewers highlight the RZE Resolute Type A as a well-built and legible pilot's watch offering good value.
