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.

Seiko 5 Sports SKX series BAMFORD Limited Edition, Seiko Boutique exclusive model

The 5 Sports SKX series BAMFORD Limited Edition is praised for its vibrant blue translucent dial with a glowing day disc and its luminous orange stripe on the NATO strap. Reviewers consider the Seiko 5 Sports SKX Sports Style watches, including this model, exemplary gateway watches offering significant value and quality for their price, with the BAMFORD edition noted at a reasonable $460 for a limited run of 2,025 pieces. A trade-off mentioned is compromised water resistance due to the lack of a screw-down crown. On balance, reviewers find the 38mm Seiko 5 Sports SKX series BAMFORD Limited Edition a great release, particularly for its striking aesthetics and value proposition.
