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.

Spinnaker Hass Automatic

The Spinnaker Hass Automatic is a 43mm watch featuring an NH35 movement and sapphire crystal, with owners highlighting its beautiful dial. Some find Spinnaker watches, including this model, to be on the thicker side, with one owner describing the Hass X MCS Blue Fade variant as comically large and chunky. The Spinnaker Hass Automatic was offered at $445 USD as part of a special collection with customized elements, and a limited edition of 200 pieces was also available for $195 shipped. On balance, owners and reviewers note the attractive dial as a key positive, though some express reservations about the watch's thickness.
