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.

Tissot Chrono XL Vintage

The Tissot Chrono XL Vintage is widely appreciated for its retro pilot aesthetic, featuring altimeter-style numerals and a black, white, and bronze dial within a black steel case. Owners consistently praise its excellent lume for the price point. While the 45mm size is noted as substantial, some find it fits surprisingly well even under shirt cuffs, though it is generally considered more of a casual, t-shirt watch. On balance, owners value the Tissot Chrono XL Vintage for its distinctive vintage pilot design and strong lume at its price.
