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 Presage Cocktail Time

Seiko Presage Cocktail Time is widely praised for its stunning dials and exceptional value, with owners noting it competes with watches costing significantly more. One owner specifically commends the green Mockingbird variant's dial, indices, hands, and crown. However, potential legibility issues due to dial patterns and hands, the use of Hardlex crystal instead of sapphire, and strap/bracelet sizing concerns are noted criticisms. The case on some variants is described as big, round, and somewhat uninspired. On balance, owners rate the Seiko Presage Cocktail Time highly for its dial artistry and value proposition.
