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.

Grand Seiko SBGK007

The Grand Seiko SBGK007 is praised for its glorious champagne-to-silver-white sunburst dial and domed sapphire crystal. Owners and reviewers highlight its wonderfully slim profile, attributed to the manual-wind movement, contributing to excellent wearability and a design that subtly evokes vintage pieces. The movement is described as attractive yet workmanlike, with accuracy rated between +5 to -3 seconds per day and a 72-hour power reserve. The watch measures 39mm and 11.6mm thick, and is offered on a high-quality leather strap. On balance, owners and reviewers highly regard the Grand Seiko SBGK007 for its elegant slim case and beautifully textured dial.
