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 Rockwatch

The Tissot Rockwatch is widely praised for its innovative use of solid Swiss granite for the case and dial, with each piece featuring a unique pattern derived from materials like the Jungfrau mountain. Reviewers highlight its quirky charm, tactile experience, and historical significance as a business success for Tissot during a difficult period. The 38mm case size and short lug-to-lug measurement contribute to its wearability. However, the included black leather strap is considered decent at best and could be improved. Overall, reviewers celebrate the Tissot Rockwatch for its unique material, historical importance, and distinctive aesthetic.
