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.

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente 33

NOMOS Glashütte Tangente is widely praised for its classic Bauhaus-inspired design and elegant wearability, with owners noting its polished case reflections and compact dimensions, such as the 33mm and 35mm variants, fitting well on smaller wrists. The Alpha hand-wound movement is recognized for remarkable accuracy, with one owner reporting it off only a couple of seconds a week, and a 44.5-hour power reserve. The watch's versatility and "loveable cutey" design are highlighted, and new platinum gray dials offer a convincing appearance. Some owners find the velour strap delicate and prefer alternatives, and the 30m water resistance limits its use in wet environments. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente highly for its enduring, minimalistic design and impressive accuracy at its price point.
