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 Hull Riviera

Owners praise the Spinnaker Hull Riviera's build quality, highlighting its milled clasp, solid links, and effective anti-reflective coating on the sapphire crystal. The watch features a sandwich dial with Superluminova, measures 42mm in diameter, 12mm thick with a 48mm lug-to-lug span, and uses a Seiko NH35 movement. Accuracy is reported as excellent, with one owner noting a gain of only +2 seconds over seven days. The crystal is noted as being fused to the case, leading to a repair quote of $198 for a cracked crystal, a cost considered excessive by some owners relative to the watch's price. Lume is considered mediocre, and some would have preferred a 4Hz movement. Overall, owners rate the Spinnaker Hull Riviera highly for its robust build and impressive accuracy at its price point.
