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 Classic Dream

Owners widely praise the Tissot Classic Dream for its exceptional value, citing its traditional dress watch aesthetic, sapphire crystal, and Swiss movement. Reviewers and owners alike highlight its superb wearability, with one source noting its 8.1mm thickness and another its 40mm case size. The dazzling white dial with Roman numerals and the dark blue sunray dial are frequently mentioned as attractive features. However, some owners desire an automatic movement and higher water resistance than the standard 50 meters. The silver dial version's indexes are noted to lack lume and visibility. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the Tissot Classic Dream highly for its classic design and value proposition.
