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 PRX

The Tissot PRX is widely praised for its excellent case and bracelet finishing, offering remarkable value and a luxurious feel that belies its price point. Owners and reviewers consistently highlight its comfortable, thin profile and integrated bracelet design. The dial pattern is noted for its retro, 1980s aesthetic, and the reliable automatic movement contributes to its appeal as a strong contender for a first mechanical watch. However, some owners point out a lack of micro-adjustment on the bracelet clasp, and one reviewer noted issues with quality control on a chronograph model, including a malfunctioning hand and dust on the dial. The sapphire crystal's lack of AR-coating and the shininess of the hour and minute hands are also mentioned as minor drawbacks. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot PRX highly for its exceptional finishing and value proposition.

From video reviewers

The Powermatic 80 movement's reliability and 80-hour power reserve are consistently praised. The integrated bracelet's susceptibility to scratches is a noted weakness. Reviewers disagreed on whether the Powermatic 80 movement's accuracy significantly surpasses the quartz version.
