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 Tangomat GMT

Owners and reviewers widely praise the NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat GMT for its elegant Bauhaus design, detailed finishing, and true in-house GMT movement, with many considering it excellent value. The watch's simplicity and user-friendly world time dial are highlighted as refreshing departures from busy designs. Some owners find the 40mm case wears larger than expected, and the GMT function, which uses a disk adjusted by a pusher, is noted as requiring manual adjustment and can be less convenient than a traditional hour hand for some users. One owner reported a daily accuracy drift of 25-35 seconds, while another experienced accidental pressing of the timezone pusher. On balance, owners and reviewers rate the NOMOS Glashütte Tangomat GMT highly for its unique in-house GMT complication and refined aesthetic at an accessible price point.
