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 Carbon

The Tissot PRX Carbon is widely praised for its unique, stealthy forged carbon aesthetic and lightweight wearability, with many owners considering it a standout within the PRX line. Owners consistently highlight the comfortable, high-quality rubber strap and the appealing forged carbon look. Accuracy is noted as COSC-level, and the Powermatic 80 movement is specifically mentioned as featuring a silicon balance spring. However, legibility is hampered by a textured carbon dial and poor lume, and some owners find the dial too shiny. The $1,150 price point is considered high by some, though others view it as decent value. On balance, owners rate the Tissot PRX Carbon highly for its distinctive lightweight design and comfortable wearability.
