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 Seastar 1000 Chronograph

Owners widely praise the Tissot Seastar 1000 Chronograph for its captivating blue dial, excellent case finishing, and legible matte dial, with some noting its Powermatic 80 movement offers remarkable accuracy averaging -0.6 seconds per day and an 80-hour power reserve. The ceramic bezel is also frequently highlighted as exceptionally well-done, and the bracelet is described as surprisingly strong. However, multiple owners report issues including bezel looseness, paint chipping, flooding, a broken crown, and a protruding case back causing discomfort. Some find the watch too large, with one owner noting unfinished case sides and a crown pattern that digs into fingers. Overall, owners rate the Tissot Seastar 1000 Chronograph highly for its impressive finishing and value, despite a notable number of reports concerning durability and comfort issues.
