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 PR516

Owners and reviewers widely praise the Tissot PR516 for its vintage-inspired dial, robust case finishing, and the horological substance offered at its price point, with some noting its 38mm size and historical connections as highlights. The manual-wind movement is frequently cited for its 68-hour power reserve and modern technology. However, the watch's 14mm thickness and substantial lug-to-lug distance are noted as potentially making it wear large on smaller wrists. Some owners find the dial bland and the fixed bezel disappointing, while others criticize the basic stamped clasp and simplistic movement finishing visible through the display caseback. On balance, owners and reviewers consider the Tissot PR516 a compelling heritage-inspired sports watch, particularly for its value and vintage motorsport aesthetic.

From video reviewers
